Bikini fun on Goa shores - India Resort Fashion Week 2012 wows









Bikinis, cover-alls, boy shorts, straw hats and beachy sandals ... sounds fun already, isn't it? Taking this maxim ahead was the second edition of India Resort Fashion Week (IRFW 2012) right on the shores of Candolim Beach in Goa.

PARIS HILTON TIME: I couldn't resist watching a fashion show, replete with backstage chaos, music, choreographer stand-off point, cameramen stall and front row jazz - all in place yet happening on a ramp built on sand. At the second edition of India Resort Fashion Week, it was finale designer couple Falguni and Shane Peacock who convinced me to watch it all. Their showstopper was American celebrity deejay-socialite Paris Hilton. Apart from her, world-renowned deejays playing alongside the ramp area was too good to miss out on. (Of course, some coordination hiccups did arise of sleepy drivers refusing to pick invitees on time and problems on entering the nightclub area with +1 guests).

I LIKE: Anupamaa Dayal's long and wearable stoles were really good; Babita Malkani's pop neon shades were catchy; Ken Ferns light-weight shorts and kaftans were sensuous; Neeta Lulla designs were traditional for brides to go for resort weddings; Welspun (bedsheet brand, surprise! surprise!) had a beautiful array of prints, Asmita Marwah's menswear was commendable; Rocky S and Narendra Kumar Ahmed's classics were pretty and Falguni and Shane Peacock's edgy designs were beautiful.

LOVE PASSION KARMA: I saw the most beautiful nightclub called Love Passion Karma (LPK)in Goa where the washroom opened into a lake. Tiny lights lit up the words - Love Passion Karma. And the entire decor was fused with musical influences from across the world. I was enchanted...

Girl with the Blue Scarf says: Goa has its charm and is so fashionably haute. I would love to go back there. What about you?

Indians have the best bodies. If maintained well, their curves can be killer in bikinis.

When a man makes an indecent proposal..to a man

The 'casting couch' is serious trouble for male models in India The Casting Couch is a reality. Not just for female models but also the males in India’s buzzing fashion industry. In a quest to make it big, acquire fame, money and a high-profile lifestyle, many male models face the rude reality of ‘talent hunts’ under the guise of ramp show auditions. While many such auditions are genuine, others are ‘indecent proposals’ or a fast dial way to make it on the ramp for big designers and then to the silver screen. 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

Allah tero naam. Ishwar tero naam at Jodhpur RIFF changed my perspective.... Indian Carnatic music maestro TM Krishna collaborates with transwomen singers at the Jodhpur RIFF 2017 This was my very first visit to Jodhpur and I coincided it with an attempt to catch the Rajasthan International Folk Festival (RIFF) whose chief patron is Marwar's royalty Gaj Singh II. One of the renditions by Carnatic music maestro TM Krishna (TMK - as he is lovingly called) changed my life's perspective so much so that this feeling is here to stay and share. TMK sang a very popular song called 'Allah Tero Naam. Ishwar Tero Naam...' with a 'specific reason' as he perched effortlessly at the break of dawn at  Jaswant Thada near Mehrangarh Fort. With him were the absolute delights of the season — The  Jogappa singers. These transwomen musicians were clad in simple sarees, played traditional instruments and sang at an unusually shrill high pitch.  Music legend TM Kri
