Spotlight: Pernia Qureshi @ Paris Haute Couture Shows

11th July 2014

Some people just got it going ON and Ms Qureshi is certainly one of those. She ALWAYS looks soooo effortlessly chic- I met her last year and I asked her about her style tips and her top tip ladies…is to always be well groomed- make sure the basics are right- get yourself waxed/threaded, good brows are a must, take care of your skin/hair, manicure/pedicure etc….(Looking at my chipped nails as I type this makes think uhh ohhh!)

Ms Qureshi was out and about this week in Paris for the Fall/Winter Haute Couture shows- here are some pics from her Instagram account looking yum in Indian designer creations. She’s incredibly passionate about Indian designers and her online store has really shaken up the Indian e-tailer scene. I love the fact she continually scouts new designers giving them a platform for their work.

@ the Chanel Haute Couture show wearing Anita Dongre

@Valentino wearing Sonaakshi Raaj. I LOVE Sonaakshi’s work- my faves are the lemon sari gown Sonam wore and the blush sari gown Deepika wore.

My fave look is Pernia in Anita Dongre. It’s so simple, so classic and really chic.

All the outfits above are available to buy from her online store Pernias Pop Up Shop

Ok so I’m off to find my nail polish remover…

Ram Leela

27th November 2013

I saw Ram Leela last week and had to post some stills. I absolutely loved the film- the cinematography, choreography, music and performances were just so dreamy and the costumes- what can I say- they made my jaw drop! Hats off to Anju Modi and Maxima Basu – they’ve both done an incredible job. They have managed to add a contemporary feel to the looks while celebrating traditional Gujurati craftmanship and textiles. Maxima was in charge of costumes for the principal cast including Ranveer’s wardrobe and some of Deepika’s ( the costume in the first pic was by Maxima). The rest of DP’s costumes were by Anju Modi. I read a fab interview with Anju Modi by Couture Rani about the film’s costumes- def worth a read!
