All male show at 9.30 pm slots in Lakme Fashion Week



An interesting observation I made was that the prestigious 9.30 pm sponsored slots at Lakme Fashion Week have gone to only male designers. Some of the most established names in the design fraternity are participating in the LFW Winter/Festive 2011 season this Aug 16 - 21.

With Delhi-based designer Rohit Bal aka Gudda (from Kashmir and based in Delhi) opening the Week at the off-site show in Tote, Mahalaxmi Race course, Mumbai, a male-centric trend will set in.

JJ Valaya (Delhi) will present his Aircel sponsored collection on Wednesday. Followed by Narendra Kumar Ahmed (Mumbai) on Thursday, Sabyasachi Mukherjee (Kolkata) on Friday, Wendell Rodricks (Goa) for Himalayan on Saturday and Manish Malhotra (Mumbai) as the Lakme grand finale.


Girl with the blue scarf says: Actress Kareena Kapoor will be unveiled as the face of Lakme Absolute range this time. Every reason, you don't miss the finale.

Incidentally, under the scanner of late is model Sid Gupta (name changed) , assistant director in a recent Shah Rukh Khan film, who was given a shot on the ramp to open and close the KJo-Varun Bahl’s menswear show in Delhi and the India Couture Week in Mumbai. Fashion circles in both cities are abuzz with rumours about he being a toyboy for his godfather. Not just him, in the recent past model Inder Bajwa and then Lalit Trehan were rumoured to have been the boyfriends of d...

'What nudity? It's a free expression of art'

Choreographer and IPL fashion show coordinator Prasad Bidappa defends his expression of art — a calender of nude men, which leaked out in the public recently Prasad Bidappa was a hassled man recently as he prepared for the Indian Premier League 2011 show in Mumbai. Reason being: His hobby of exotic photography was costing him his reputation and ruining his sleep. Some of the pictures he had shot of nude males, which were sent to an exclusive friend list on email were mysteriously leaked out to in the public eye.

So, last year, Bidappa shot pictures of nude males in different sexual positions and compiled it for a select invitee list of friends. It was done wi...
