Miss Universe Canada Disqualifies Transsexual Contestant: She was Born a Boy

Jenna Talackova (right)Miss Universe Canada officials have banned 23-year-old transsexual Jenna Talackova from participating in the pageant finals to be held in Toronto in May, 2012. The Vancouver contestant was one of sixty-five women chosen to compete in the national contest (which is owned by Donald Trump). The Daily Mail Reports that Denis Davila, national director of Miss Universe Canada, asserts that every contestant must be a "naturally born female." Critics of the decision claim that the rules do not specifically address sex change or plastic surgery.

The statuesque blonde Talackova is calling it a human rights issue. She says that she knew she was a girl by age four, started hormone therapy at fourteen, and had sex reassignment surgery at nineteen. She's previously competed in both transsexual and women's beauty pageants. "All I can say is that they disqualified me because I'm not 'natural born,' she told the National Post. "[That] doesn't make sense because since I was conscious, I always felt this way."

After being kicked out of the pageant, Talackova, whose twitter account has since been locked, tweeted, "I'm disqualified, however I'm not giving up. I'm not going to just let them disqualify me over discrimination." Online support for the beauty queen is growing. So far, over twenty-one thousand people have signed a petition demanding she be allowed to compete. It reads, "She is a woman and deserves to be treated as any other woman would be."

Talackova, who says she is not doing interviews until she consults a lawyer, describes herself as, "a woman with a past."

Do you think Jenna Talackova should be allowed to compete in the Miss Universe Canada pageant? Let us know in the comments below.

15-year-old Living Doll is YouTube's Controversial New Star



At 15, Venus Palermo has grown into her doll obsession rather than out of it. Under the screen name Venus Angelic, the London based teenager posts beauty tutorials on YouTube for fans who want to look like her. But that's not why she's the latest viral video star. It's because she looks like a living doll.

According to Palermo, you too could be a ball-jointed doll (or BJD as she calls it) with the right over-sized pupil contacts, plastic-sheen-effect powder and pure white eye shadow. Based on her 5 million viewers and the legions of lookalike fans on her Facebook page, people are taking her advice.

Video: father's extreme parenting goes viral

The modern ball-jointed doll is widely popular in Japan, a country both she and her mother are obsessed with. "Mommy cooks Japanese, thinks Japanese, goes to Japan with me," writes Palermo on her blog. "Because we like it. Liking something, is soooooo GREAT!" Palermo is actually Austrian, Swiss and Hungarian but she's been studying Japanese along with several other languages. Her multilingual background is how she explains her accent, which sounds close to the Midwestern Harajuku-obsessed college kids satirized on Saturday Night Live.

Palermo's obsession, however, isn't taken as lightly. Her videos have been labeled "bizarre" and "disturbing" in the media. Her uncanny appearance is sounding off alarm bells for concerned critics. Modern Asian ball joint dolls have become increasingly more life-like, with a line of human-sized, physically mature dolls recently released for the kind of consumer you don't want anywhere near your teenager.

The perverse comments on the 15-year-old's videos is proof she's attracting some unsavory fans. So is the occasional grown man dappling the list of Palermo's Facebook fans. But the teenager's mom doesn't appear to be intervening in her daughter's risky hobby. Mom serves as host of Q&A chats between teenager and fans. In one video posted last year, she sat by while the teenager had an uncomfortable conversation with a 24-year-old male caller who professed his love and then proceeded to belittle her.

In text under that video, posted to VenusAngelic's channel, Palermo refers to her fans as "lovers." The title of the video is "Insane Guy in Love."

"The case of Venus Angelic is uncomfortably exploitative, as there is clearly a sexual undertone to what she is doing," says Hilary Levey Friedman, PhD, a Harvard sociologist who has written extensively about child exploitation in media.

"In general, young girls on YouTube is a disturbing, growing trend," she says noting the recent trend of pre-teen girls asking viewers if they're pretty.

In many cases, parents are unaware of their child's webcam usage, until their uploads go viral. But in other instances, the parents are facilitators.

"Remember, Justin Bieber got his start on YouTube with the help of his mother," says Levey Friedman.

Levey Friedman wonders whether Palermo's mom has similar aspirations for her daughter. The YouTube stage parent is relatively new concept. Most kids have risen to viral fame for just being kids, and if a parent profits off of that they're immediately criticized. The rare performing prodigy, like Bieber, is an exception. But Palermo doesn't fall into either category. She may be bringing a Japanese trend to Western teenagers, but she's also attracting a largely unwanted fan-base.

The question then for a parent is whether it's better to support a child's passion or protect her from what could come of it. "I'd hate to rob a kid of her blissful ignorance but I guess the fact is, at 15 years old, innocence is a luxury teens can't really afford," argues The Stir's Jacqueline Burt after watching Palermo's videos. "I guess it's our job to tell our kids when something they're doing could be misinterpreted and why."

Better a parent than an "insane guy in love."

Sir Paul Smith's Award Winning Paris Weekend

Godfrey Deeny
January 22nd, 2012 @ 2:00 PM - Paris

If any designer has had a busy weekend in Paris, it must be Sir Paul Smith who found time not only to stage a sleek runway show on the Rive Gauche, but also to receive the city's highest honor on the other side of the Seine.

The U.K. knight was one of two Brits awarded the Medal da la Ville de Paris by Mayor Bertrand Delanoe in city hall on the Right Bank of the Seine.

"I am extremely honored and rather touched. Plus it's nice to be popular on both sides of the Channel!" said Sir Paul, who picked up his medal on Friday night. Also receiving the distinction was Joan Burstein, the distinguished owner of Brown's, perhaps London's single most famous fashion boutique.

Two days later, on Sunday, Jan. 22, Smith staged a succinctly edited fall 2012 men's collection which effectively acted as a comment on his own global career. Smith has crossed the English Channel for over two decades to present his men's shows in Paris and his invitation and inspiration was fittingly the sea.

Waves rippled over a seascape invitation, bold backdrop and stormy prints used in sweatshirts and jumpers in this show, staged in the English knight's preferred French show locale - a medieval convent in St Germain.

But the key to this collection was Smith's insightful new tailoring, like when he combined felt waistcoats and biker jacket leather sleeves in one great new garment, and where he revamped a conventional puffer jacket as a cool new courtier's vest.

Smith was also right in synch with the Paris season's key color palette - black and blue, especially midnight and petrol blue with anthracite and black steel. He employed the combo in wrap coats trimmed in metallic gold, padded storm coats and even some jaunty blue wingtips with deliberately blackened toes.

Sir Paul took his customary full stroll down the catwalk. For a high-ego profession, surprisingly many designers merely peak out of the backstage. And in a nice touch, the music as he trotted past the models was a noisy British marching band tune. It seemed just right since Sir Paul, after all, is England's most successful independent designer and the most influential Britain in men's fashion in the past half century. No wonder the French gave him a medal. About time too.

Christmas Clothing for Dogs

Christmas is just round the corner and you are wondering what gifts to send to your family and friends. As you are pondering over your options, don't forget about the animals. Pet clothing is getting more and more popular these days, especially if they live in urban homes. They are just so used to being around human beings that wearing clothing doesn't seem quite out of the norm!

There are many types of dog clothing available in the market, and you may wish to consider purchasing some for your own pet or to send as Christmas gifts. Here are some ideas.

Dog costumes.

Dog costumes are excellent for fantasy play. Just like costumes for human, the pets become a totally different personality when they don the costume. Many costumes come in bright, vivid colors. So they are best suited to be worn during social occasions or festive parties. Christmas is a good time to dress up your dog in a fancy costume!

Dog sweaters and coats.

Dog sweaters and coats tend to be more serious looking. However, when smaller pets wear them, there is still the adorable effect. It's like little children pretending to be adults. They come in many different designs and colors. Some are even knitted with beautiful patterns. You can purchase several of these and create a new wardrobe for your dog. During family outings, simply choose one that matches with the clothing of your family members. Your dog, after all, is part of the family.

Dog dresses.

Obviously, dog dresses are for female dogs only. Attempting to dress up a male dog in a dress will make your dog look silly. Usually, younger owners and teens will enjoy dressing up their dogs in dresses, as the pets become dainty and "princess-like" when wearing the dresses. For more aggressive dogs, a pink dress can downplay the aggressiveness. A dress can be very useful if you want to express the personality of a dog. Ever seen a poodle in a butterfly dress? It looks like a celebrity is walking down the red carpet!

Big dog clothing.

You have to agree, dresses and coats may not be the most ideal clothing for big dogs. You just can't get them to look dainty and adorable because they are just so big! They are like the "big brothers" in the neighborhood. So be sure to get some clothing that sends the right message across. For instance, a hoodie or a mature looking sweater will look just fine on your handsome dog.

Dog wedding attire.

If you ever find yourself going to a wedding, then you know that bringing a dog can be troublesome. Besides, the dog is look so out of place. But what if you can't find anyone else to take care of your dog while you attend the wedding ceremony? The only way out then, is to bring the dog along. If so, take the effort to dress the dog appropriately for the occasion. For male dogs, you can buy them tuxedos with bow ties. For female dogs, a satin dress will look most wonderful for the special occasion.

Fashion Models or Lingerie Models?

Author: Richard

One of the highlights of the year as a lingerie buyer is to see the cat walk shows at the lingerie trade fairs. It's all well and good scouring the trade press and seeing editorials about developing and current trends within the industry or wandering around the stands of the different manufacturers to see not only whats on offer at each, but what do they have in common and where do they stand apart. This is where a well produced cat walk show comes into its own, particularly where it is broken down into sections that put some of the trends together, showing ranges from different manufacturers that identify the common threads within the industry for the coming season.


It has to said however, that great as this might be, it also needs models who show off the product to its full effect. Some of the manufacturers, Curvy Kate being a prime example, have taken the approach of having 'real women' as models. Most of the manufacturers when it comes to photo shoots for their trade catalogues and adverts, choose models who have curves and will do justice to the lingerie they are looking to promote. This also applies to the models who work on the stands at trade shows, with DD plus models, modelling DD+ bras and so on.


However when it comes to the Cat Walk shows, it has to be said that there is a tendency to use 'Fashion Models', who sadly in the main are lacking the necessary curves, that lingerie models really need. Now I'm not saying that they all need to be DD plus, as many of the smaller cup samples come in a B Cup, but sadly it is an all to common sight, to see obvious use of chicken fillets, gaping bra cups and briefs that look baggy, as the bum to fill them is sometimes missing.


Fashion models unfortunately still have that certain look, which clothes manufacturers may feel show off their products to best effect, but they do not represent the ordinary woman in the street and the reality is that when it comes to lingerie and swimwear, models need to a completely different profile. So to all you model agents up and down the country, when it comes to lingerie and swimwear shows, can you make sure that the models who are put forward have the necessary figures to carry lingerie to its best effect and lets move away from the size zero or is size zero and a half that we now appear to have.

How Do I Start a Fashion Modeling Career?

Author: Richard Landy

A modeling career in the fashion industry could be extremely lucrative. Not only that; it exposes you to the world of fashion in general. For that reason, when you retire from it, you could still venture into the business at a different capacity- all this without having gone to school to learn about it. Before you become a model in the fashion industry, you need to ensure that you have some things in order.

The first thing is that you have to conform to the standards that are held by the fashion industry. A female model should typically be five feet and seven inches or taller. Your weight should also be proportional to your height but you cannot be overweight. Your skin complexion should be near perfect. This is because most fashion houses abhor having to over rely on pictures that have been taken of their models. For this reason you have to take good care of your skin. You also need to ensure that your teeth are not crooked and are pearly white.

If you want to make it in the industry, you have to ooze self-confidence. Nobody wants to work with a wall flower. Models have to be confident and light up the room when they walk in. Self-confidence will also enable you to walk tall and this will do wonders for your catwalk.

Breaking into the fashion modeling industry will require that you are intelligent. This does not necessarily mean being book smart; you need to be quick witted so as not to be taken advantage of in the industry. You will also be required to have excellent organizational skills. The modeling industry is fast paced and if you are not organized, you could find yourself being late for shows or missing them altogether. This would not augur well because though it may seem that the industry is big, word of mouth spreads fast. If you are considered unreliable, people will not hire you.

Modeling involves flying to many exotic locations. You may also be required to relocate from your home town to a different city or state that has a blooming glamour industry. You will have to be very versatile and flexible to change. There are times you will find yourself living out of your suitcase because of all the travelling you will be doing. You cannot constantly moan about these inconveniences because that is what you get when you become a successful model.

You need to put practice for your walk and even your poses. Runway models are chosen because of how distinct their walk is. If you want to succeed, you will have to practice your walk everyday, until it comes to you easily. You will also have to practice different poses for the camera. This will be essential for photo shoots as cameramen prefer models with a wide range of expression. This will give your pictures a more diverse look which will be to your advantage.

The following are the general requirements that must be met in order to petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services – USCIS for H-1B status for a fashion model.


1. You must provide documentation, certifications, affidavits, writings, reviews, or any other required evidence sufficient to establish that the beneficiary is a fashion model of distinguished merit and ability. Affidavits submitted by present or former employers or recognized experts certifying to the recognition and distinguished ability of the beneficiary shall specifically describe the beneficiary's recognition and ability in factual terms and must set forth the expertise of the affiant and the manner in which the affiant acquired such information.


2. Copies of any written contracts between the petitioner and beneficiary, or a summary of the terms of the oral agreement under which the beneficiary will be employed, if there is no written contract.


3. To establish that a position requires prominence, the petitioner must establish that the position meets one of the following criteria:


a. The services to be performed involve events or productions which have a distinguished reputation;


b. The services are to be performed for an organization or establishment that has a distinguished reputation for, or record of, employing prominent persons.


4. The model's requirements. An employer may establish that a beneficiary is a fashion model of distinguished merit and ability by the submission of two of the following forms of documentation showing that the model:


a. Has achieved national or international recognition and acclaim for outstanding achievement in his or her field as evidenced by reviews in major newspapers, trade journals, magazines, or other published material;


b. Has performed and will perform services as a fashion model for employers with a distinguished reputation;

Which young Broadway leading lady has for several years fallen in love with every guy who plays opposite her, even though or maybe because it's always a gay? i already met the 4 year old girl that has cancer and will be getting it in September when i cut it, and have it made into a wig. You ll never need to worry about money." "Oh, sweetheart, please don t talk that way," his young wife exclaimed. Okay even more specifically- the lack of African American models. Here s how it would work: There would be a fashion show. i have alot of volume to my hair so, if i tease it, it looks kinda 1980's ish.


I m organizing a segment for a fashion show and the category is rain, a remix of Rihanna s Umbrella will be played, and it s a very modern and hyped up show so I m looking for REALLY cool umbrellas for the models to be carrying on the runway. my mom sent this picture to a modeling agency for a contest but do you think its a good pic?

Careers And Fashion Modelling

Author: fashion model

A fashion model’s job first appears to be one of a glamorous one. But, there are many requirements to becoming a successful fashion model. While watching different television channels, you would have come across models in ads or fashion channels that have svelte and appealing shapes, and that exhibiting a great deal of poise. And in all probability you might have wished that you could also become one. It is not just the fame and attention that lures an individual to become a model, but the big money that is involved in these assignments.



Modelling is a career that needs a lot of travelling to exotic locations, attending celebrity parties and earning big dollars for every assignment. Most of the people like us want to be in the limelight, rub shoulders with some of the popular faces in the fashion circuit, and indulge in the various activities there; but modelling is much more than that, contrary to many people’s imagination. If you want to take up modelling as your career, you need to possess some appealing physical attributes. You have to first rate yourself and gauge your weaknesses and strengths that can make or mar your prospects. Nobody is perfect, but any person can work on his or her flaws and can improve on his/her plus points. For instance, a model’s height has to be at least 5'8" or more than that, and the body weight should be in proportion to that.



Fashion models are known for their unusual or strange diets and exercise regimens. They need to undergo rigorous training methods to maintain the required body proportions required of a professional model. The skin should be glowing and healthy without any kind of scars or blemishes. The hair should look healthy and without any kind of damages or split ends. The model’s teeth should be in the same line and not flawed in any manner. A million dollar smile has got the potential to do half the job and fetch you the much coveted assignments. However, aside from all the excitement and fun, the modelling job demands dedication, commitment and a burning interest in all the endeavours. The work schedules can be erratic; models are expected to balance their work life schedules, giving due consideration to their personal health.



You need to get noticed by a good modelling agency in order for you to grow and flourish. The agencies are always on the look out for fresh and appealing faces. And, if you happen to be at the right place at the right time, you may land yourself a lucrative contract for some modelling assignments. Do take effort to search for them, and this can give you the real impetus as you give the associated people the required push. You should send out your impressive portfolios to as many modelling agencies as possible. It is important that you make your portfolio simple yet brilliant and effective. But it is not necessary that you spend a lot of money to make an excellent portfolio.

Having The Right Features To Become A Fashion Model

Once you attain the position you deserve or you get established in the world of fashion you are likely to receive loads of money for just having the good looks. And, there would be numerous people who will idolize you for your good looks as well as for your talent. Numerous are the numbers of young girls and boys that dream of living the life of a successful fashion model someday. But, the job or career is more challenging than they realize. Apart from the mandatory requirement of exceptional physical looks or beauty, you also need to have superior mental traits to help you survive and glitter in the world of fashion industry as well as in your competitor community.



A good amount of talent is a necessary factor for a person to become a fashion model. Beauty will only take you to a limited height in modelling. While in front of the camera simply looking into the object constitutes only one aspect of modelling. There is always much more to it than meets the eye. In a way it is kind acting in a movie. You have to transform in order to become the character or concept you are modelling for. You should have the ability and talent to project or portray an emotion through the facial expressions you bring forth along with your body language. The primary job of a fashion model is to make any type of product or concept look good and appealing to the market segment to which it is catering to. This aspect goes beyond just the clothing and the accessories. They are supposed to make anything look appealing with their presence or exhortation.



Let us face the hard fact; if these models do not project the goodwill, or they do not sell the product with their prowess or charisma, there is no point in having them in the ads. Some models also walk the ramps and runways. To carry one self in a proper and dignified manner, the right posture as well as the right gait must be practised and learned.


It is unfortunate that one’s personality and inner beauty do not have any influence when it comes to promotion in the world of fashion. A certain and unique look must always accompany a fashion model. A female model’s bust and hips have to be 34 inches ideally; and her waist has to be 24 inches. Again, they should stand tall at a minimum 5 feet 8 inches length or more to stand a chance.



Since vital statistics or measurements such as these happen to be very extreme, they have resulted in many eating disorders among the fashion models community. There is an option or segment for overweight people called plus size modelling. Plus size modelling option is for people with bigger figures and features. An average sized woman may not fall into either of the extreme categories. There are still some modelling houses and agencies that are hesitant to accept models that are underweight or overweight.

Fashion Modelling For The Aspirant

Author: fashion model

A lot of individuals, male and female, the young and the old, test the waters in the field of modelling to make a career out of it. It can range from anything from high fashion like swimsuit modelling to commercial print modelling. Millions of people belonging to all age groups go after modelling jobs in search of fame and money. However, not every fashion model agency is on the look out for the same things and features. If you have noticed, you will see that different modelling agencies employ differently looking models to create different images for their advertising campaigns. What does this augur? This simply means that there are no strict norms in the modelling industry. Despite the fact that a fashion modelling agency will have certain expectations from aspiring models, that concept need not always be of the same standards.



Most of the fashion modelling agencies will be hosting an event during a particular time each week or month in order to allow aspiring models to check in and be screened for their potential. The aspirant can bring in a good portfolio or even a few snapshots. Just for that matter, most of these high end fashion modelling agencies are not looking for glamour shots or some made-up photos for that matter. They would like to see how a person truly looks like, without having any make-up on. In any case, one’s complexion, and figure features, all form some of the important aspects of modelling. Take a few excellent shots and take them to the fashion model agency you are interested in working with.



The online modelling sites too have quite a lot to offer with regard to fashion modelling now days. What that is meant by this is that one may look up their websites any time one chooses to want a greater understanding of the real world modelling. Usually, fashion agencies allow one to contact them via email and they would ask the person to attach a few photos so as to do an assessment. This way they would be able to make a distinction on some level; whether or not they should show interest in having you on-board. Some well established modelling agencies may even fly you out to do a test shoot. They believe this is the best way to verify if they can make some big money off your looks. Most of these established women had started as teenagers in this field; but, men would be in their twenties when they take a shot at this field.



A career in this field sometimes seems like filled with lots of fun, but one needs to put in hard work to enjoy the fruits. With photo sessions often being conducted in some far off destinations models would have to spend a lot of time away from the comfort of their homes and family members; this can be very hard for some people. On the positive side, traversing the globe can be great fun and will provide you with lots of new experience and knowledge.

Beginning As A Fashion Model

Author: fashion model

Regardless of the fact that there are millions of people who are after modelling jobs every year, there are countless people, male as well as female, young as well as old, that want to test the waters of the glamorous profession of modelling. It could be high fashion; it could be swimsuit session; and, maybe it's commercial print. However, the thing is that not all fashion modelling agencies are looking for the same aspects and features. Different modelling agencies employ differently sized models to emphasize different looks for their advertisement campaigns. What do all this mean? Why, do you think, are there no exact norms in the modelling industry? While different fashion model agencies will have different sorts of expectation from aspiring models, the ‘model look' they are looking for may not always be the same.



Have you taken the time to venture out to see an open call at some fashion model agency? If the answer is a flat ‘no', then let us go for the quick scoop. Most fashion modelling agencies set apart a particular time every month where they permit aspiring models to drop in and be screened. Models may bring in a portfolio or merely a few of their best snapshots. As it is known, a majority of these high-end fashion agencies do not want to check out any of the glamour shots or any made-up images for that matter. These people want to see what a model truly has, without any make-up and hair up. Nevertheless, the complexion, hair, teeth, figure, and other vital statistics are all major aspects related to modeling. If you, at the moment, do not have any professionally taken pictures with you, do not worry about it. Just take a few good looking snap shots and carry them with you to the fashion model agency you want to be associated with. The World Wide Web has quite a lot to offer with regards to fashion modelling agencies nowadays. What is implied is that you can look up some of their official websites any time you choose.



Usually, the fashion model agencies would allow models to contact them via email, and there is provision for attaching a few good photos for modelling agencies to look at. By following this practice, they would be able to distinguish at the entry level itself whether they would be interested in seeing you in person. In some exceptional cases, these high-flying modelling agencies may even fly you out for a test shoot. They really want to determine if they can make some bucks off your looks and appearance. If you are very much interested in modelling, do not get stifled by the obstacles. Most of the models were in their teens when they took to this field. It is only natural that differently sized women models fall under different categories. There is another additional category called plus size modelling, and it stands for bigger sizes. An average size woman, most probably, will not conform to this category.

Author: fashion model


You are on a vacation and you are enjoying the receding sea waves. Then you find that your favourite model is sitting on a beach chair next to you watching those waves. Models have started enjoying beaches in their free time. Even if some of the fashion models do not like the sands and beaches, their modelling assignments insist that they do. If your vacation happens to be on the date of one of those photography assignments or film shoots, you would be counted as one of the few lucky travellers. Just as sand can be compared to the waves, bikini can be compared to a fashion model. In the late 1970s, many prominent model turned superstars had their way through the sands of the Juhu wearing just the bikini. Many celebrities have also enjoyed the sunny days and beaches in their swimming trunks. They would take a stroll through Juhu right up to the Church there. These models were spotted by the vacationing crowd swimming in the clear sea, riding on jet speedboats, or just lazing on the beach. Beach vacationing trend continued with other fashion models as well. Many of these fashion models enjoy the swimwear or the bikini, and beach customs; and, they are comfortable in front of the crowd.



Fashion models enjoy being snapped in some of the beautiful beach spots wearing sexy swim wear. The world of modelling and fashion cannot do without beaches and bikinis. Bikinis are very much feminine in nature since they flaunt the curves in the apt way. It gives these models a sense of confidence on the ramps. But, a model is expected to have good and attractive vital statistics to wear a two piece bikini. The best beaches around the world are often visited by actors who dare to bare it all. Fashion models and film celebrities generally love to dance in the hot sands of these beaches. Often they choose five star beach resorts in order to celebrate their vacations when they are with their family members. Activities on the beaches are endless as this includes kite flying, sand castle building, sunbathing, riding horses, and the like. Top models and top celebrities alike enjoy spending time on these sand beaches. They want to have a complete makeover after those busy modelling sessions, fashion assignments and product shoots. During night time, they engage in bonfire singing and dancing.



In the recent years, most of the events, parties, songs and dance sequences feature beaches, and they find these places as the perfect destination to hang out with their friends. Sometimes, it could be a beach shoot for the purpose of modelling or filming. Fashion models soak themselves up in the sun, singing all the way to the beach. There is a promise in the air, a promise that assures one of balmy nights; new fashion models laze around spending their time and days on the beach. You will also get to see models tasting some of those varied tropical drinks made available there.

Indian Fashion in the Spotlight

Author: Shruti Thacker

When you think of the movers and shakers in the fashion world, you tend to think of Western designers or fashion houses – Christian Dior, Givenchy, Balmain and more. But while Western designers and fashions produce beautiful clothing, Indian designers are just as – if not more – spectacular. Indian fashion is gaining precedence and respect, with a number of fantastic Indian designers gaining recognition not only in their home countries, but in an international setting.


It is often assumed – erroneously – that Indian fashion must be Indian clothing. If the shows put on at various Indian fashion weeks are anything to go by, this isn't true in the slightest. There are a number of fantastic Indian fashion designers that are putting out clothing that is distinctly Indian in identity, but very much rely on or interpret Western and other cultural aesthetics.


Possibly one of the best-known designers at the moment, Manish Malhotra is feted for his fantastic takes on traditional Indian fashions – he constructs saris, lenghas and other traditionally Indian clothing in a way that is modern, fresh and very cool while still being incredibly beautiful. His latest show paired delicious, chaste whites with eye-catching, vivid reds to create outfits that were regal, beautiful and unforgettable.


Tarun Tahiliani is another Indian fashion designer on whom the spotlight has rightly been shown a number of times. His designs display a cutting-edge Indian aesthetic mixed in with a Western sensibility. His latest showing, at the Wills India Fashion Week in Delhi, balanced a very film noir feel with an oriental thematic, and managed to broach both Indian fashion and a Western styling. Of particular note was his take on the sari – a very delicate Indian traditional dress – with bold, embroidered accessories and unusual drapes. He also put out some gorgeous trousers, skirts and dresses – distinctly Western elements which were clearly made his own.


Another Indian designer whose Indian fashion sensibilities are a force to be reckoned with is Sabyasachi Mukherjee. This Indian wunderkind makes some of the most gorgeous clothes we have ever seen. Not just fashion designs, his shows are full of the kind of fun, thoughtful designs that don't take themselves too seriously. His recent show at the WIFW combined images of flamboyant Spanish mamacitas with Frida Kahlo artistry and vibrant, glittery colours. Sabyasachi is famed for his Indian clothes – gorgeous saris, beautiful suits – but, as his latest show proved, Indian fashion doesn't need to be Indian clothing.


And these three are only the tip of a massive, sartorial iceberg. The Indian fashion world is full of designers that create gorgeous, beautiful clothing that make the wearer look stunning. Moreover, there are a number of designers that push the envelope and the boundaries, and take Indian fashion further, to bigger and better places. Although a majority of people look to the Western fashion world, Indian fashion is coming into its own, both in terms of clothing, designs, wearability, trends and all the exciting things that go along with design and style in the fashion world.

An elder sister acts like a protective umbrella to the brother from the day he is born. She takes it upon herself to ensure that her brother gets all the attention and care that he needs.

In her absence life never remains the same. It is true that a mother and later a wife have a great role to play in the life of a man, but the role of the sister is very significant and very different. She fills in the empty space which can never be filled in by the other two leading ladies in his life. What does a brother do to ornament the life of his sister? What does he do to make her feel that she is always remembered? He can do a lot! He can ensure a memorable dinning or shopping experience for his sister by presenting her with gift vouchers!

Sending rakhi to India is an experience which can not be compared with any thing else. One can send online rakhi in india and other gifts which are straight from the heart. As mentioned above Rakhi within India is all about happiness and gifting. Sisters send rakhi to India and express their love for their brothers. The brothers in turn, send a number of gifts to their sisters and express heartfelt emotions for them. Each and every gift is laced with loads of love.
