Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2011

Lakme Fashion Week, India's premier trade and fashion event started a few days ago and I must say from what I have seen so far I am very impressed. But most of all I am dying to see Abdul Halder's Collection tomorrow!

Fashion Spotlight: Manish Arora Creates Magic

Manish Arora's Autumn/Winter 2011 Paris Fashion Week lineup had the most unique textures, prints, and vibrancy. I feel like a few of these dresses would be Lady Gaga Worthy! And from what I hear he also joined forces with Russian Illusionist Benjamin Dukhan to perform for his show. There was model who was sewed in half, one that appeared in an empty cage out of thin air, and all models appeared on the runway and disappeared when they exited from a glass case. He just gets better and better each year by raising the bar not just for himself but for other designers as well. You name it he's done it, from swarovski covered gowns to metals jump suits to dresses with their own lighting systems and this year he has brought magic into it. I wonder what he will be up to next?

Thanks to Fashion Inquisitive for the beautiful pictures!
