sabyasachi and vikram phadnis - IIFA 2011

this indian senorita look by sabyasachi is so great. ever since he's been around as a designer, we have gotten used to seeing many beautiful & traditional indian looks from him. that's why this look is such a good one -- it reminds us of what a master designer he is. it's an indian outfit (a lengha) but it's done in such a unique way. i've never quite seen anything like it before. you immediately think of a senorita, and that's such a different way to do indian wear. despite it being so different, it's still so very signature sabyasachi.

this vikram phadnis look is regal. it's perfect for a indian bride, with the red head chunni (or veil), but also introduces some not so usual colors for a bride -- the mustard yellow drape scarf, and the very dark maroon (or is it navy?) skirt. at first glance, the skirt looked almost black, so i would suggest getting the skirt a tad bit lighter for bridal purposes...but as is, it looks fantastic, too. the ornate and oh-so-grand detailing and look of this outfit is stunning.

naeem khan resort 2012

this is such a pretty collection. i'd love to wear any of these dresses. there is something great to be said about each and every one of his pieces -- from the sexy senorita top/ruffled skirt combo, to the fully beaded & fully glam long sleeved ivory gown, to the bright hues of blue, pink and yellow he used, to feathers!, and finally to the all-out-ball-gown-style-oomph -- each dress was statement-making.
