Nimi says: All the men we love gotta have some signature fashion sense Move over Bollywood biggies including Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan . The cine scene in India is already boasting of some fashionable young men, who don't like to play safe with their looks. Keyword: Experimental. And women love that . Josh Duhamel aka Danny Mc Coy of Las Vegas show: Spiky short hair, chiseled chest and looks that can kill. Love his boyish charm . Ashton Kutcher: Man-o-man. He's only grown cuter post his split with wife Demi Moore . Quite dishy, what with the cleft chin. Unkempt, unstressed look. Like the play of blue on him. Imran Khan: Met him in New Zealand and spent many days during his film shoot of I Hate Luv Storys. His wife Avantika has a say in his style and I like the tweed jacket that he pull off over a slim-fit white or pink shirt. PS: He must stop wearing those coloured printed socks though. Rohit Bal: Lotus man, who's as soft sp...

But does it really help the film? Let's begin with Bebo , who's now gearing up for her weddings pheras with Saif Ali Khan . Kareena looked a million bucks in the black 'hardly covering' saree.

Madhuri Dixit's sweeping elegance Mumbai was host to the third season of IIJW ( India International Jewellery Week 2012 ) at the Grand Hyatt and look who presented the grand finale with PC Jewels - Madhuri Dixit. Looking absolutely drop dead gorgeous at 46 years, the dancer-actress is a favourite ambassador for anti-wrinkle creams, elegant designerwear and also wedding jewellery. With such a strong fanbase waiting for her back in India, little wonder, why she came back from Denver with her bag and baggage, husband Dr Nene and sons, in tow. Meanwhile, actress Sonam Kapoor has been the brand ambassador of the IIJW since its inception. She too walked the ramp and look as stylish as ever.

Sabyasachi and Manish: Rockstars at Delhi Couture Week 2012 Little wonder why Mumbai designers Sabyasachi Mukherjee and Manish Malhotra skipped two seasons in Mumbai and headed to Delhi to showcase their collections. Simple to guess, their buyers are in plenty in the capital city and the Delhiwalas love the two. At the PCJ Delhi Couture Week (7-12 Aug, 2012), presented by FDCI, Sunil Sethi , the president of FDCI gave the very best slots to Manish and Sabyasachi. While Manish provided the Saturday Night Fever with the gorgeous Katrina Kaif as his showstopper, Sabyasachi Mukherjee presented the Grand Finale on Sunday with Sridevi (my fave heroine)as his special guest. On both days, the buyer line-up was different and exclusive. The buzz was tremendous and anticipation was heavy in the air. Manish Malhotra: Using a lot of zardosi and Kashmiri embroidery, sheer backs were the highlights of the collection. Model-actor (Filmfare awardee for film Force) Vidyut Jammwal opened th...

Lakme Fashion Week Gennext Winter Festive 2012 batch: Awesome It's show time in Mumbai where the Lakme Fashion Week Winter Festive 2012 season is on in full swing. One of the most anticipated shows is by the GenNext , which gives a platform for young student designers to make a mark and leap into the professional world of fashion. And so on Aug 3, amidst a packed house of fashionistas, buyers and journalists, I sat witness to the batch's ramp show (who were also given tips, such as facing the camera, acknowledging guests in F-Row and what to wear to represent their collection, etc, by me as their media mentor a few days ago). I was so proud to see these focussed youngsters turning into hotsteppers as they confidently took to the ramp with their models sporting their collections. Amongst the 10 designers (7 labels) namely Aniket Satam (Mayan collection), Asa Kazingmei (Manipur lad with Immortal fashion), Astha Sethi And Sidharth Arora (A Stylish Androgynous Look), Kavit...
