CHANEL Paris-Bombay Métiers d’Art 2011/12

07chanel1

This morning, when I woke up to a text announcing my credit card bill, I wasn’t expecting anything to pep me up for the next few hours at least. But I got lucky! Yesterday, my friend Dionne Vaz did a cute little post on Chanel’s Paris Bombay Métiers d’Art show and just now I saw this gorgeous video showcasing the brilliantly crafted collection. Now, what’s even more exciting is that the soundtrack is called “Charu’s theme!” Confused? The C in Picky C stands for Charu for those of you who didn’t know that yet. Okay okay I get it, no big deal and Karl(yeah we are on the first name basis :P) didn’t ‘exactly’ dedicate it to me but can’t you just let the poor little blogger be?!

BTW was I the only one who thought the Chanel dress that Blake Lively wore for MET  Gala was Sari-Inspired and not Grecian as others thought?! Either way, I am absolutely loving the attention India is getting from some of the top designers across the world. Chanel’s collection is a great follow up act post Jimmy Choo and Gucci’s “India special” clutches/bags and Hermès saris. Noice!! Do check out the StyleSlant post here.

Gucci Fall Winter commercial- Super glamorous movie night

Shot by Mert & Marcus, Gucci’s Fall Winter commercial is simply the most glamorous video I have seen recently. The collection looks stunning and dramatic with fluid femininity created by layers and layers of free flowing sheer textures and colours. And ample fur. Take a look:

For the love of men!

Text by Sarah Coles – friend/ advertising junkie/ fashion enthusiast:

Whether you want to buy your boyfriend a Burberry coat or a pair of socks, there’s now an upmarket site for boys to look upmarket. No more complaining about not having as much choice as us girls. No – no more. Mr Porter has arrived and since we live in an age where most boys born after 1980 are metros, I’m sure it’ll do fabulous. Yes Mr Porter is here and he ships to India. He has finally followed his wife’s footsteps and is not ashamed to do so. Quite rightfully filling the sizeable gap in the market for men all over the world to finally have choice…style… and advice on fashion. A site they can look up to… design their own looks… manage wardrobe… share styles with their mates… and create wishlists… and….wow is this really a good thing?! I still like my man as the clueless Stella drinker thanks. However, bottom line – it’s a great site for us girls to buy great stuff for our beautiful, silly men.

Now for some of Picky C’s picks from Mr Porter. She claims if men in India dressed like this, they wouldn’t have to try nearly as hard.

PERSOLS - So hot!! Perfect for the Indian summer.

LANVIN TEXTURED LEATHER AND SUEDE SNEAKERS - Love 'em!
