Indian and Asian weddings show huge demand for Rolls Royce Phantom car hire

Agents from the Limo Broker have reported a large surge in the demand for the luxurious Rolls Royce Phantom for Indian and Asian weddings in 2010. The symbol of ultimate luxury for many, the Phantom has proved the preferred choice for music celebrity Simon Cowell and remains the preferred choice for Asian wedding celebrants.The new trend towards the Rolls Royce Phantom means that traditional demand for wedding vehicles such as vintage cars and the dubious but short-lived popularity of Hummers and white limos seems to be at an end.

The Phantom offers one key feature that others fail to match – masses of leg room for lengthy bridal gown trails. The last thing a bride wants on her special day is a dishevelled looking dress as a result of being crammed into a quaint, but tiny, buggy.

The Phantom is widely acknowledged as the most luxurious and elegant cars in existence. Not to ostentatious but timelessly classy, the Phantom provides just the right amount of style and opulence as befitting any wedding day. The Phantom has long drawn admiring glances from guest and public alike and according to Limo Broker friends and family cannot fail to be impressed by the exquisite vehicle.

Another reason for the popularity with Asian and Indian weddings is the Phantom’s relaxed and comfortable ride, with leather seating, a champagne bar and most importantly a massive entertainment system for the vital musical accompaniment. Limo Broker has extensive experience in catering to Asian weddings and is sensitive to the unique requirements of the occasion

The fresh add to this year’s expo was a stall of professional wedding planner, a relatively new concept for Nepalis. Along with the modern wedding planners, traditional astrologers also had their stalls set up.

“As previous years, this year too, the 4th Wedding & Gift Expo 2009 has been conceptualized with the aim to cater the ever-growing needs and demands for a comprehensive solution to wedding ceremony,” said Pashupati K.C, the manager and event co-coordinator of Direction Nepal.

indian fashion,Highness Eugénie of France,new fashion,http://fashionnews99.blogspot.com/

Fashion, as we all know, is a popular clothing style, a trend that’s predominant in society at any given time. Designer fashion is defined by characteristics like high standard of workmanship, the extraordinary quality of materials, the love of detail and the search for something new.

Though fashion is a form of self-expression, the beginning of the 20th century marked a decisive turning point where fashion became institutionalised and the new phenomenon of haute couture was unleashed.

Before the 20th century, there were many different ways of dressing and these varied between countries and social classes. People at court dressed differently from the bourgeoisie and the French different from the British, Italians or Germans. It all changed when Charles Frederick Worth, an Englishman who came to Paris decided that he wanted to be more than just a supplier to Her Imperial Highness Eugénie of France and began to ‘sign’ his creations as if he were an artist. This signalled the birth of a trademark. The fournisseur (supplier) became a couturier and what he created was Fashion and this was when ‘fashion designers’ were born.

Fashion is never constant. No sooner is something ‘in fashion’ than it is ‘out of fashion’ again. It may seem that couturiers make these changes on a personal whim and mood but in reality their creations only really catch on if they capture the spirit of the age. Today, the same fashion language is spoken everywhere, from New York to Tokyo to Delhi to Mumbai, and it has moved away from its French origins. Where have a hundred years of haute couture led us? One might almost say that it has led us to the very beginning. Today, we can again see the corsets and bustles that dominated the beginning of the 20th century, with bosoms and bottoms leading to a new kind of seduction. Things have come full circle.http://fashionnews99.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2009-12-14T02:09:00-08:00&max-results=1

fashion collection,Sandeep Khosla,fashion designer

http://fashionnews99.blogspot.com/

Mumbai, Dec 14 (ANI): Designers here attempted to blend Indian and western styles into a trendy bridal wear to woo prospective brides.

The collections showcased at a fashion show here on Sunday, saw models wearing varieties of lehanga with sequins and colourful works on it.

The collection was specially made keeping in mind the elaborate Indian wedding requirements of a bride.

“It would be great idea to showcase Indo-Western line which would give the bride more options of wearing a Indo-Western outfit which is as comfortable and drapes equally well like a lehanga or churidaar,” said Priya Kataria Puri, fashion designer.

The show also saw Brazilian model Giselle Monterio walking the ramp for designer duo Monica and Karishma who depicted Indian royalty in their bridal outfits.

“I love the clothes, I love the colours and the crystals on it, there is so much details on, I feel comfortable in these clothes, I feel beautiful,”

Popularly known as ‘the boys’ in the Indian fashion circuit, Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla are the favourite designers when it comes to Bollywood celebrities like Jaya and Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan and also when it comes to dressing celebrities like Vanisha Mittal and Riddhima Kapoor for their weddings.

Their creations have draped the bodies of international personalities like Dame Judi Dench and Victoria Beckham and being the first Indians to display their designs at Harrods and Harvey Nichols in London has given them the global recognition they deserve.

Their costumes for Madhuri Dixit and Shah Rukh Khan in Devdas also won them a National Award.

For the 20 years they have been together, Abu and Sandeep have been pioneers in haute couture and have enthralled the world of fashion with their inimitable fashion style, creating exquisite and one off creations.

But for our designer duo bridalwear remains their forte and one of their core businesses.

The two designers are completely self taught. Abu Jani, born in Mumbai started off by designing costumes for films and later started specialising in embroidery.

Sandeep Khosla born in Kapurthala, started working in his family leather business where he specialised in carving on leather and experimented with tie and die and batik.

Years later Abu and Sandeep collaborated for the first time launched their signature collection called ‘Mata Hari’.

The style gurus set themselves apart from the others by doing what nobody had done before. Being true fans of conventional styles and craftsmanship, they did not want timeless techniques like zardozi to fade away and brought the traditional embroidery and embellishments back to life by giving it a fresh look. http://fashionnews99.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2009-12-13T05:59:00-08:00&max-results=1

http://fashionnews99.blogspot.com/,designs,party season , tailored jacket,Egyptian cotton sheets

what’s the scoop? How to wear the vast shirt and not look like a four-man tent? First up, make sure it’s a good ’un. By this, I mean it must be made from superior cotton. You will know superior cotton because it behaves impeccably and is rather more expensive than inferior cotton (which, conversely, looks constantly close to exhaustion and trails about your body thinly like a stray cat).

It’s the same as the difference between top-notch towels and those rubbish meagre ones that couldn’t dry an eye. Or between high-count Egyptian cotton sheets of the slippy hotel variety, and those cheap B&B sheets that pill in a most unwelcoming fashion as soon as they look at you. So, expensive.

Look for mannish details – double cuffs, placket fronts, a proper collar. Ticking stripes would be nice. Think of it as your ironic nod to the banking fraternity. Then turn back the cuffs to reveal your tiny feminine wrists. Turn up the collar to frame your pixie face. Add a belt if you need shape.

Alas, only the skinny can get away with a voluminous shirt which simply billows in the wind; you and I need a little definition. Do it with a wide belt, or lob on a tailored jacket – a smaller tailored jacket. Smaller! The idea is to play with proportion, not look as if you’re on your way to a trade union conference after a
large lunch.

And there you have it. Winter wrapped up. I’m not expecting you to wear your man shirt to Christmas parties, but for Boxing Day and beyond? Bring it on.http://fashionnews99.blogspot.com/

Victoria Beckham has been devastated by the theft of her £350,000 collection of new dresses in a knife-point hijack.

The exclusive frocks were taken during a well-planned roadside heist on Thursday.

Victoria had spent months on the designs but the entire collection, believed to be between 50 and 75 dresses, is now gone.

The frocks were stolen from a lorry after it picked up the range from the singer's management offices in West London.

The driver, who collected the dresses from the former Spice Girl's 19 Entertainment base, was shaken and bruised after being forced to the ground during the attack.http://fashionnews99.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2009-12-05T06:50:00-08:00&max-results=1

Award-winning Taiwanese fashion designer speaks of future plans New York, Dec. 4 (CNA) Award-winning Taiwanese fashion designer, Johan Ku, said that he may create his own brand under his name in the future, while revealing a plan to fly home to Taiwan for a short visit in mid-December to hold a presentation of his works. Ku, owner of the Johan Ku Design Studio, recently won the top prize in the Avant-Garde design category of the 2009 Gen Art's Styles International Design Competition, with one of his 2004 designs -- a knitted one-piece wool dress that highlights the delicacy of the yarn and displays creative patterns. The 30-year-old attended the award ceremony in midtown Manhattan on Wednesday. He will fly back to London, where he is studying art, on Saturday to continue studying at the Central Saint Martins School of Art and Design. Speaking to the Central News Agency before leaving for the U.K., Ku said he wants to show Taiwanese people 10 pieces of works he created in recent years, to tell them how he creates "sculpture-like" knitwear, As the media has attributed Ku's victory in the New York contest to his ingenuity, Ku encouraged other Taiwanese fashion talents to be creative and confident in their works.

The holiday party season is officially underway. The calendar will be filled with functions with co-workers, family and friends, and it's important to always dress appropriately for the occasion, be it a casual get-together or a glamorous gala.

The LBD (little black dress) is always a good choice as it can be dressed up or down depending on how you accessorize. Glamour is no longer defined by length: until recently, a full-length gown was the only way to go, but short has taken over -- how short is up to you.http://fashionnews99.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2009-12-05T06:28:00-08:00&max-results=1

http://fashionnews99.blogspot.com/2009/12/httpfashionnews99blogspotcomindian.htmlTraditional Bridal: For a matt look use Mac foundation in a color very close to the bride’s skin tone, then set with powder. Mac shimmer helps to illuminate the cheekbones while crating contours in the face.

For Eyes: Use metallic red in the inner corners, blending towards the outside of the eyes with a deep green for a smooth finish. A forest green has been used underneath the eyes to emphasize shape and color for this enchanting bridal look.

Lips: Create neutral lips by lining with a Mac tawny brown lip liner then filled with a creamy neutral lipstick. A dense lip-gloss over the top adds volume and sophistication.
Hair: To emphasize the eyes and makeup, simply part on the side and clip off the face – perfect fro the day or night. – AWI

India's biggest fashion trade event, Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW) Spring/Summer 2009 is scheduled to be held at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi from October 15 to October 19, 2008. A total of 87 designers will be participating in this mega event.

The new season will bring with it new color shades, designs, creations, clothing construction et al. Once again, the best of India's Fashion Industry will come together on a common platform. All the designers are geared up with new zeal to put forward their best show, all prepared to enthrall the audience with their Spring/Summer 2009 collection. They are all ready to impress the fashionistas and consumers not only from within the country but from overseas as well.

In its 12th year, WLIFW aims at providing a platform for new talents to showcase their potential. Since over a decade, WIFW has acted as a medium for the fashion designers in India to display their virtue and earn for themselves a name that people would reckon with.

The first of two Indian fashion weeks has kicked off in Mumbai after a spat between organisers of the rival shows threatened to overshadow the emergence of a new wave of designers.

Mumbai's inaugural Lakme Fashion Week is challenging the larger, established India Fashion Week in New Delhi, run by the Fashion Design Council of India.

The newcomer has been given a boost by the glamour of Bollywood stars tipped to attend and the appearance at a pre-show party of British model Elizabeth Hurley.

Thirty designers will show their ready-to-wear autumn-winter lines at the five-day event taking place just before the New Delhi event.

Chennai, which is the capital of the state of Tamil Nadu, is soon to become a hub of Indian and international fashion. Chennai International fashion week (CIFW) has been formed with an objective to give Indian designers an international arena to showcase and market their collections to world media and global fashion professionals.

The show which will open on December 14 will prove to be a platform to bring in international flavor to the Indian fashion industry. It is likely to witness the participation of around 30 designers, 10 international designers, 40 fashions shows, 60 Indian and international models, world media professionals, Indian and international celebrities as well as buyers from across the globe.

Mr. Gaurav Sharma, Producer of CIFW and CEO of Storm Fashion, while speaking exclusively with fibre2fashion.com and when asked to elaborate about the show, he replied, “This is possibly for the first time that a fashion show is getting organized with a truly international perspective, which will help to bring in a pool of international creative excellence to the Indian fashion market.”

Four days after the Mumbai event ends, 80 designers will display their creations at the seventh and biggest India Fashion Week.

Lakme was associated with the New Delhi show until it pulled out following last year's event after a row over sponsorship money.

Instead it teamed with sports, leisure and lifestyle management company IMG to launch the rival Mumbai event.

The controversy comes as the nascent Indian designer-wear industry is growing rapidly with clientele including the British Prime Minister's wife, Cherie Blair, pop star Madonna and British actress Dame Judi Dench.

In sharp contrast to the low-key kick-off last year with a line-up of turbanned models, this year's India Fashion Week was flagged off by a provocative Diandra showing the audience her middle finger to the accompaniment of a raunchy number. That, I thought, set the pace for the entire event, giving it a hep, racy, provocative feel. The shows began with Delhi designer Aki Narula and Goa whizkid Savio Jon showcasing their collections jointly. The clothes were really wacky. The hairstyles were even more interesting. What was indecent though was http://fashionnews99.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2009-12-05T02:28:00-08:00&max-results=1 giving a show of his pubic hair with real low-slung golden G-strings. Disgusting!!! Outside the Taj Mahal Ball Room, where the shows were being held, the scene was picking up very slowly on this, the first day of India Fashion Week 2001. People were busy making their press calls; designers were still setting up their stalls. The second show of the day was Ritu Kumar's. As is expected of the lady, she put up a brilliant performance! Ruby Bhatia and Pooja Batra opened her show to the song, Yeh hai Mumbai, yeh hai Mumbai, Ruby was full of beans and the entire scene was nicely handled. The evening was once again a treat with the Monisha Jaisingh show. I expected nothing less from this Mumbai designer and once again, she presented a fabulous collection. Lots of colour, loads of Indian sensibility and Swarovskys all over the place. The day was rounded off with the party thrown by the Fashion Design Council at the Indigo restaurant. The invitee list went out from Tarun Tahiliani and the Who's Who was there. An enjoyable evening! More to look forward to tomorrow….

The event openly defied the Taliban's strict adherance to veils and had to be rescheduled twice in the past month due to security issues. But ultimately more than 30 Pakistani designers participated and everything ran smoothly, so here's a look at the on-ramp action.

Martin Grant is a Paris-based Australian designer with a cult following; there is no hype or ostentation about the low-key way he works and it shows in the clothes. The stylish Helen Lambert (recently profiled in My Style) is one of his fans, and even his most deceptively simple dresses look sensational when worn. Here in Ireland, Kate Gleeson of Diffusion (who was the first to introduce Didier Ludot’s wonderful little black dresses from Paris to her Clontarf boutique) has a number of pieces from Grant this season, including a shapely black coat with funnel collar and another cocoon style in pale wool along with some elegant evening dresses (right, €1,069). With coats costing about €1,000, these pieces are expensive, but top quality. Diffusion is open Sundays, noon-6pm.

Fashion TV to showcase Perth talent to the world

http://fashionnews99.blogspot.com/

Perth's fabulous fashion status will see events from the city broadcast around the world courtesy of fashiontv Oceania, which will launch in Perth this month.

High profile fashion stylist Sylvia Giacci has been signed as the WA agent for the channel, and will launch her coverage at the glamorous Paspaley Polo in the City event.

FTV broadcasts only the most fabulous fashion parties and runway shows from around the world, and will broadcast Perth events to the 202 countries that currently watch the fashion-only channel.

MANILA, Philippines - Bulgari will auction a collection of 11 one-of-a-kind high jewelry creations and seven limited-edition timepieces at Christie’s New York on Dec. 8 to further strengthen its support for Save the Children. The collection is worth $4 million and all proceeds will be donated to the organization’s “Rewrite the Future” campaign that aims to provide quality education for eight million children in conflict-affected areas.

MANILA, Philippines - Despite having grown up in the fashion industry, Marielle Santos-Po, merchandising manager for the house brands of Cinderella, the department store and fashion retailer that her family founded nearly 70 years ago, is not a victim of it. Marielle mostly considers trends as statements of fashion that pass on a seasonal basis. Hers is a fashion sense that is very feminine: printed dresses and rounded curves. Clean lines and easy closures.

http://fashionnews99.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2009-12-02T01:37:00-08:00&max-results=1

And even if she is dedicated to her work, Marielle still, visibly and consciously, puts time and focus into other interests. She cooks. Travels when she can, mostly with her husband Leo Po. And she also runs. Which, if you think about it, complements her vibrant disposition and lively personality. Marielle is actually training to run in a half-marathon early next year. Just to prove that she can. “I’m actually following a program right now. I’m training myself to run 15 to 16 kilometers just before the run and will only do the 21k on the event itself. After I do that, I’ll probably just relax and run leisurely.”

As a designer, Renu Bothra has worked on a fair share of collections. But perhaps her latest line will top her favourites list. After all, she has put together this line along with her photographer friend Ayesha Broacha, who has done the fashion illustrations for this collection.

As far as inspirations go, Ayesha admits that Renu gave her a free reign. "That's the best part of working with Renu; she asked me to do as I wished. So there's no specific theme that I have stuck to; I have just featured the average urban woman and her surroundings. Luckily, Renu and I had the same thing in mind, so the line has shaped quite well,".

Renu explains that the line took her a good three weeks to put together after Ayesha was done with her illustrations. "We have used the illustrations as prints for just the clothes and bags. But eventually we will translate them into prints for footwear as well," reveals Renu.
