Naeem Khan at LFW 2013

By some miracle I managed to get passes for Naeem Khan's first ever show in Mumbai!

The NYC based designer, who has dressed the likes of Michelle Obama. Beyonce and Leighton Meester, was born in Mumbai. His work consists of dramatic and heavily embellished gowns and dresses best suited for the red carpet. The collection he showed at LFW was the same as the one seen at New York Fashion Week earlier this year.

The clothes were beautiful and intricately embroidered. He used velvet, embellishments, embroidery and screen printing. The silhouettes were either full skirts or slinky gowns. The silk pants and skirt gown really caught my eye. As did the champagne skirt with a fully embellished top.The embellishments glittered magically under the lights. It was all very dramatic and awe-inspiring. He did not use a celebrity show stopper but there was enough glitterati on the front row.

Lakme Fashion Week Summer Resort 2013

Its Fashion Week time!!! After the spectacular FDCI Wills India Fashion Week in New Delhi, Mumbai hosts its own Lakme Fashion Week. 

Its been a mad week trying to juggle work and Fashion Week but I got REALLY lucky! Not only did I get to go for the Tigre Blanc LFW Launch party at Tote on Thursday but also got to go for Naeem Khan's first ever show in Mumbai!!! I know right? I couldn't believe it either!. 

The LFW offsite began with a beautiful show by Tarun Tahiliani, which was graced by famous Shoe Designer Christian Louboutin. Tigre Blanc threw an after party jam packed with celebs and vodka. My favourite look of the night was Simone Singh looking pretty in a mint dress and white blazer. Maybe it was because I(top, left) was wearing a white blazer as well :P

Marc Cain Store Opening

I don't know about you, but I love social events on Thursdays. Its the perfect time to cut the mid-week monotony and have a little preview of the weekend. Last week I had a little preview of Marc Cain's Spring/Summer collection as well. The occasion was the launch of its 3rd store in Mumbai(Juhu, Bandra and now Napean Sea Road) and 150th store globally. Cocktails and canapes added to the fun.

The collection was interesting. Wispy, flowing fabrics, monochrome and sudden bursts of colour. I was enamored by their fuchsia pumps and emerald green scarves. I'm all about the colour right now. WANT! WANT! WANT!

While I was there I did a bit of celeb spotting. No one really struck my fancy but I do love Evelyn Sharma's dress. Or is it just the colour I like?
