Bollywood goes Haute in Aisha

A leading daily recently published an article, 'Couture Goes Haute in Bollywood's Aisha', and rightly so. Aisha is India's answer to the Hollywood fashionable Sex and the City. While Sex and the City is a collection of essays by Candace Bushnell (later adapted by a TV series), Aisha is based on famous book 'Emma' of Jane Austen.

Both the movies have the Big Fashion element, and we're glad that the Indian actresses are learning the world of style and chic.
.

Aisha, which is co-produced by PVR Pictures and Anil Kapoor Films Co. Ltd, is a film that deals with a fashionable girl played by Sonam Kapoor, who is also very fashionable in real life.

The movie has tied up with high-end international brands such as Christian Dior, Salvatore Ferragamo and Chanel and is Indian cinema's first ever chick flick. Experts in the brand integration business say premium brands have been used in Bollywood films before but it’s for the first time that a film has incorporated so many high-end products at one go.
.
We've all seen the Promos of Aisha and they're nothing short of very stylish. All the female leads are looking chic and sophisticated. The effort that has gone into the clothes is close to what we've seen in the likes of Devil Wears Prada and Sex and the City.

The female lead Sonam Kapoor and the rest of the cast will be swathed in as many as 60 Dior dresses and accessories.

Aisha has also tied up with premium home linen brand Portico. Sonam Kapoor’s bedroom in the film has been done up by Portico.

Sonam's walk-in closet reminds me of Carrie's closet in Sex and the City.

Other designer whose creations would be seen in Aisha is Anamika Khanna. Paticularly Amrita Puri (Who plays Shefal in the movie) would be seen in a lot of Anamika's creations.

Aisha's Team at the Delhi Couture Week

At the Delhi Couture Week, Amrita Puri, Lisa Haydon and Ira Dubey of ‘Aisha‘ walked for Anamika Khanna along with Anil Kapoor. The guy sure takes the limelight from all the sexy girls, but love what Ira is wearing.

Now that the movie is released, we're not at all disappointed with what we saw. The plot was good, the girls looked good, and yes Sonam did have a fantabulous wardrobe in the movie. Her style in the movie looked like an imitation of Blair Waldorf’s (Leighton Meester) of Gossip Girls (American series) in many parts of the movie. The viewers of Gossip Girl can better relate Sonam’s appearance with that of Blair Waldorf, her dresses, colours of her ensemble and handbags even. But it is still a great look and light fun girlie movie.

At last Bollywood is learning to style!!!

Sex and the City 2 - Trend Watch

Carrie Bradshaw and her girl pals are back with the sequel of SATC - Sex and the City II. Filming for the movie SATC II officially began on 1st September 2009, and I am sure all the fashionistas and SATC fans around the globe would love these first shots of Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah JessicaParer), Miranda Hobbs (Cynthia Nixon), Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) and Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) out and about NYC.
.
Are you excited to see the gang back together? Read on.....

Girls Together
.
What are the four lovely ladies wearing?

A newly single Samantha looked sexy in a cutout LBD, VBH Palm clutch in shocking mastice drip python (worth $1300), gold hoop earrings and black Ray Ban shades (she could have done better in the shoes department).

Miranda looked lovely in an asymmetrical neckline mustard dress cinched with tan belt, that complemented her red hair, and Yves Saint Laurent Triumph platforms (they cost $795).

The always gorgeous Charlotte was pretty in pink - a pink skirt suit, matching satchel (all Dior) and dead gorgeous white and pink Louboutin slingbacks.

And the leading lady, SJP, wore a Halston Heritage white dress, gold and metal Chanel clutch and glittering leopard print Louboutins.
.

.
Who do you like the best?
My vote goes to Miranda.
.

The first shot

The first photos of Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) filming scenes for the Sex and The City sequel on location in New York City and we must say, we're quite impressed.
.

Sarah Jessica Parker - first shot

.
SJP looked every bit the fashionista in her first shot of SATC II where she was wearing a gorgeous V-neck white Halston Heritage dress which she accessorised with colurful jeweled Solange Azagury-Partridge necklace. She added gold sparkling tuches to her simple white dress with Mykita & Bernhard Wilhelm shades, a lovely gold and metal Chanel clutch and sky-high Christian Louboutin sparkling gold pigalle heels.
.

.
For all those who are thinking that the SATC II revolves around the recession hit Carrie and Big, think again. Not only is Carrie wearing those amazing Louboutins and Chanel clutch that cost a bomb, the Solange Azagury-Partridge necklace she adorned is worth $198,200. Not exactly recession-friendly, is it?

.
Super High Heels and Oversized Bags

The heels and the bags just get higher and bigger in the Sex and the City II.
.

.
In this shot, Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw rocked a knotted plaid shirt (showing off her midriff) paired with skinny cropped jeans (with zippers at the ankle), a lime green wrist band, an oversized bag in grey and a $835 Brian Atwood Loca studded fierce heels in purple. Do you like her shoes?

While Carrie sported a causal look, Miranda looked fab in striped dress (love the colour of her dress) that she accessorised with a long matching necklace, an oversized brown tote with orange handles and matching studded high heeled strappy sandals. I would say my vote among the two ladies goes to Miranda again.

I am totally lusting Miranda's bag.

Style in Colour and Louboutin
.
SATC 2 replaces Manolo Blahniks with Christian Louboutins. SJP aka Carrie is Louboutin loaded in the new Sex and the City movie. And looks like, colours are in full rage in their new wardrobes. We've seen purple, green, mustard and pink earlier.
.
In another shot, Carrie is sporting four different colours in one ensemble. Carrie Bradshaw stepped out on the streets of NYC rocking a sparkly purple Halston Heritage cocktail dress, which she paired with with the Christian Louboutin Gino T-strap heels (in yellow, black and gold), Christian Louboutin's large Sylvia hobo bag in pink and Jee Vice’s Heated orange shades and a silver floral pendant necklace and a chunky silver bracelet.

Is that a colour overdose or the new twist to the popular colour blocking trend?
.

.

While Carrie sported all colourful look, Miranda chose to colour herself in fuchsia pink for two different scenes in the movie Sex and the City II.

Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) is wearing a fuchsia pink cowl neck top, which she paired with a tan jacket and white jeans. Love the fuchsia and white combo. From what looks like, she is wearing blue trainers with the pants and carrying a red bag. In another shot, she is clad head-to-toe in a hot pink ensemble, wearing a lovely Roland Mouret crepe dress with matching Christian Louboutin heels. Even her blackberry cover is matching her outfit.

Girls, hot pink is going to be the new hot colour for the coming season. We had earlier seen even Charlotte (Kristin Davis) wearing all pink in one of the first shots of the movie. Pink shoes, pink bag, pink dress - it does look good.
.

.
Sarah Jessica Parker wearing the same backless Christian Dior's newspaper-print dress for SATC sequel that she had worn during Season 3 of Sex and the City (when she apologized to Natasha for wrecking her marriage with Big).

In the movie, she paired the sexy backless number with super high Louboutin lace booties, which can be spotted from a mile away from their trademark heels. Its the second time she is wearing another sparkling shoes from Louboutin in the movie.
.
Is this start of a new trend, glittery shoes?

.
Colour me Green (purple...pink)
.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis wore green dresses during the movie Sex and the City 2.

SJP sported a green upside down tree dress that she teamed with a contrast blue and pink colour block clutch and black, blue grey shoes. The accessories contrast way too much with the dress to like. Does not go well. You like?

She's wearing the same star pendant that she was spotted in earlier.

.

White SJP choose to go with a contrast look, Kristin was all matchy-matchy in green with a monochromatic look. Kristin wore a gorgeous ruffled green dress that she matched with suede green pointed pumps and a green tote. Although its definitely a green overdose, but she still looks pretty.

Kristin Davis in Green Ensemble

.

While Carry and Charlotte made their statement in green, Samantha looked smoking hot in purple halter. She completed her purple dress with a thick gold and turquoise blue belt cinched at waist, huge statement earrings and purple rimmed shades. She wore wodden clogs in purple to go with her attire. She was seen wearing the same shoes earlier in the movie shots, but in cream.
