FALL WINTER 2013 KENNETH COLE COLLECTION: URBAN LIBERATION

Kenneth Cole Collection Women

The game of contrasting and controlled shapes is played out in different ways –shirt and jacket sleeves are voluminous and then taper off to end in massive gloves; long leather shirts meet cropped baseball jackets; pants that are baggy at the top, narrow to the ankle. There is a move away from classic leggings and pencil skirts to a new shape of skirt that is short and full. Oversize coats become important items for the season, part of a look constructed from multiple layers, as opposed to set-piece dresses.

This is modern, sophisticated street wear, in which the baseball jacket and the bomber jacket have roles as daywear; and leather is used throughout, notably in gunmetal and gold, for jewelry and garments. Velvet, used in comfortable pants and shoes, softens the look. Very heavy shoes and dramatic oversize gloves, and hats, convey a sense of sportiness. The accessories cinch and bind, with a severity that contrasts with thin, floating organza and soft blouses. The use of lenticulars on garments, accessories and bags adds a futuristic note, as do the reflective sunglasses in pewter, emerald and ruby red.

In Spotlight: The Guardian Angels by Rohit Gore

Backcover: The Guardian Angels is the epic and tumultuous story of two star-crossed lovers who weren’t just soul-mates but were also each other’s protectors.

The fates of Adi Mehta and Radha Deodhar are deeply entwined when within days of their first rendezvous they save each other’s lives.

Despite their vast sociopolitical differences, they are drawn to an uncertain future fraught with contrasting ambitions, personas and ideologies.

. . . he is the son of a billionaire, she is the daughter of a socialist.
. . . he is quiet and unassuming, she is a firebrand and spirited.

However, the unexplained phenomena ties them forever – whenever they are in peril, they are each other’s only saviors.

Over the following two decades Adi and Radha live through hope and despair, joy and sadness, and try to decipher their relationship. As the truth of their bond is revealed, they must confront the true nature of love, and ultimately, their destinies.

Celebrating Earth Day with The Body Shop

Tripti Bisht for GingerSnaps

22^nd April 2013, Delhi

I was invited in an event of Bodyshop for celebrating the first Birthday of their Wood Positive Commitment on Earth day. The wood positive commitment is a pledge to preserve more wood then they use in their packaging (i.e. using recycling paper) and avoid all the harsh chemicals in their product which harms the environment.

‘Wood Positive’ campaign was officially launched in association with The World Land Truston April 22, 2012, in a bid to help restore fragile habitats and regenerate land back to its true form, protecting the environment for the long-term. 

I really liked all of their Go Green collection of naturally inspired products. Guests were given the dress code of Green & White, so the surroundings were quite eye soothing & friendly...

Here is the Flash Forward brief of the Event
