As a designer, I know how much of hard work is essential in bringing ones designs together and creating an impact. Once a show stopper comes, the attention goes to the celebrity and not the designs. After putting in so much of hard work, I would definitely want my designs to be talked about and not about the show stopper.

A good example is the recently held India Couture Week. Name it and the celebrity was right in the front. The media concentrated mostly on the names of these celebrities rather than the designs in itself and one can't blame the media.

When I think of Manish Malhotra I can't recall his designs, but only his muse Aishwayra Rai. Likewise, when I think of Karan Johar, the most vivid thing that comes to my mind, is the jig of the three superstars Amitabh Bachchan, Sharukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan on the ramp.

With due respect to all these celebrities, Im still wondering if it was essential. Well, publicity is required, but at the stake of forgetting ones designs ????

The style skims gracefully on the body emphasizing your best assets like a great pair of legs. They do not have a defined hip line or waist line. They just flow below the chest to create a free silhouette.

Baby doll dresses come in different fabrics like chiffon, satin, georgette etc. Certain styles are intended for day wear. They come in various styles, patterns, colors and designs. These dresses are also worn as lingerie or negligee in fabrics such as fishnet or mesh.

However, if the cut is not perfect on your body it can look horrendously frumpy. It is usually three to six inches above the knee. Nevertheless, too short is too tarty. Leave it for the teens and twenties. If you are above thirty, never opt for a short hemline.

Women with fuller thighs can team it with leggings, tights or skinny jeans. Opt for a pointed -toe shoe as they enhance the line of the leg making you appear taller and slimmer.

A bias cut style, trendy A-line cuts or sleeveless can be worn for an evening out. Pair it with a pair of high heels. It is also perfect as a beach wear. Team it with a trendy pair of flip flops to add the jazz.

Finally choose colors with care as they have invigorating effects and hidden messages in them.

The suicide of Viveka, Kamasutra condom supermodel, is just one of the many examples. It is not to say that people with wealth and beautiful body figures are not happy. If there is some inner equilibrium, and if the core of the person is well composed of happiness and clarity, the other external things will enhance it. Most of the glam world stars live far away from themselves. Though we cannot say what exactly prompted her to end the life, it is an end reaction of the feeling that no amount of happiness is possible with this life.

Though everybody has every right to experiment with his sex life, Jad Adams' book attracted much attention because he is writing about the father of a nation. He was talking about Gandhi's quest for spiritual growth than becoming a father of the nation.

Like Jad Adams many authors touched upon the sensitive subject of Gandhi and sex. Ved Mehta, Nirmal Kumar Bose, Erik H. Erikson, Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre are to name a few. Many wrote that Gandhi had slept with many naked women including Sushila Nayar, Sucheta Kriplani, Abha and Manu. The purpose, according to them, was to test his celibacy, but not to indulge in any romp.

Just imagine if anybody else has done this what would have been the repercussions. You need to be great person first to do great and unnatural things.

The times have changed. Nowadays, if anybody repeats such experiments the partner feels it as a punishment.

Earlier designer wear was just a dream for many. It was limited to the celebrities or the hi-class society. But, today every fashionista has got not less than five to ten pieces of designer wear.

To make things easy, the designers have come up with clothing that caters to the rich and not-so-rich. With all due respect to the established designers,I feel the emerging designers and gen-next designers are doing a geat job. The Lakme Fashion Week and WIFW is a great example in itself. They have proved that they are no less and in fact have been better than the big designers in terms of creativity, options and price.

This definately is a positive approach, to see India in a better place when it comes to fashion and trend setting. Indian crafts is something unique and I am sure the young designers will take it to great heights in the years to come.
