Cinema, like a time machine, has taken us to some of the most feminine (if not feminist) centuries of all times – when being a lady meant dressing like one. While the lady of yesteryear claimed her charm with corsets and headdresses; today’s lady prefers to claim her aura sans lace and curtsy.
So how can one dress like a lady today? Well, to make it easy for you we have combined popular lady-like traits and mashed them ever so gently with today’s style.

This is one question we get asked a lot! Being women, we know just one is not enough! Having said that, and accepting the challenge, we narrowed it to 3 main categories for a more reasonable way of consuming fashion. We don’t want you to be bored of an item you invest in or one that will look outdated a few years after. Neither are we moving away from the classics. But there is no need to break your bank for the “it’’ bag, as the trend changes every season. Our categories are based on the usage you will get out of the bags you invest in. Our take is, every woman’s closet should have 3 bags -one big, one medium and one small. These cover your day, week, month and even year(s)!

Big Hand Bag | This is a bag that is your daily companion – be it work, running errands, taking your kids to school or simply attending lectures. Hence, the thought process behind this has to be very careful. Keep two things in mind: the colour you invest in should be solid. It can be black (our all-time favourite), brown, or navy blue. These colours are versatile to pair with daily outfits. The styles can vary from hobo to totes, hand held to shoulder bags. Second point is to invest in a good leather bag. Leather ages beautifully and will not let you down if you opt for casual or semi-formal attires.

“When I am an old woman I shall wear purple with a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me.” | The opening lines of ‘Warning’, by the British poet and author Jenny Joseph, are an ‘in-your-face’ snook about letting go of the sobriety of youth and embracing a cackling, gleeful loucheness in old age.

Viewed through the lens of fashion, however, ageing raises the niggling question of the changes a wardrobe needs as the years go by. It’s worth thinking about. Not a lot. You have other things to do with your time. Consider the question, find your answer, and then let it go.

For her spring-summer 2016 showcase, designer Kavita Bhartia will be portraying subdued romanticism through her designs. The designer tells us, “The collection is inspired from timeless traditions and winsome architectural heritage wrapped up with romanticism.” She will be presenting floaty shapes with panelled skirts, voluminous circular skirts, pleated pants and jackets this season. There is a move towards the cooler and softer side of the colour spectrum; natural beige, tiffany blue, mint green and white highlighted with black (also a lot of sparkle) form the color palette.

An intense use of geometrics, architecture & paisley, a fresh take on Ikat, print lines with organza and textured drapes give the collection an elegant charm. Her innate passion for designing kept her motivated during the whole design process. As Kavita Bhartia explains, “During the whole process, from charting out a plan to making sketches to the final outfit, we constantly think of ways to improvise further.
