“With this move, the buyers will not have to wait for six months to get the collection in their stores. Our period driven approach will help designer to fetch good business and customers to get new trends,” Sujal Shah, head of event organization firm IMG that has tied up with makeup brand Lakme for the March 5-9 show, said.

According to Shah, it was significant to focus on the domestic market and hence a collective choice was taken to present a spring-resort collection in its place of an autumn-winter one.

At fashion shows the world over, and also at the prime minister Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week, an autumn-winter collection is obtainable early in the year and a spring-summer publication in the later part.

“This cyclic move will definitely fetch good commerce for our designers and we have previously seen a 30 per cent rise in the buyers who will be participating in the event. Overall, we are having a baby around 40 per cent increase in the business,” he added, while on the way out to give figures.

Shah also exposed that this time; there will also be focus on the e-commerce business at the LFW, life form held at the Grant Hyatt.

“E-commerce is in a very budding stage in India, but this is the future of business. Despite the fact that online shopping in the West is much more mature, we want Indian designers to get a hold a hang of how this business works,” Shah explained.

Gurgaon-based online fashion gateway fashionandyou.com that sells products from international brand like Hugo Boss, Dunhill, Moschino and DKNY, believe that there is ample breathing space for fashionable clothes in the online market.

“We have had quite a few queries from Indian designers on using our display place to reach out to a discerning group of people of people who buy luxury goods. We are looking at opportunity to work with huge Indian designers,” said Narvekar, director (Brand Sourcing) of fashionandyou.com, which will be participating in the LFW as a buyer.

London-based fashion designer Christopher Kane will also be attending the event. Shah feels that the presence of people like him will give Indian designers increased international exposure and provide them new business perspectives as well.

As fashion weeks and Bollywood go hand-in-hand, Shah didn’t rule out the presence of tinsel town celebrities at LFW.

“There is a link between Bollywood and the fashion designers because a lot of Bollywood celebrities are their clients. We can’t deny the fact that many Indian designers derive business from the industry; hence it is very logical for the stars to be present there (LFW),” Shah explained.

As many as 61 designers some established and some new will display their creativity over the five action-and- glamour-packed days of the LFW.

Among the designers participating are Manish Malhotra, Narendra Kumar, Malini Ramani, Rocky Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Satya Paul, Shantanu and Nikhil, Suneet Varma and Vikram Phadnis.

Whereas previous most important ladies like Mumtaz and Zeenat Aman once found their rounded figures no barrier to success, their modern-day counterpart are as famous for their diet and fitness regime as their acting and dancing skills.

“There have been a lot of changes in the last decade, whether it’s in modeling or in Bollywood,” said nutritionist and fitness professional Venu Hirani, who works in India’s entertainment capital, Mumbai.

“Today, the basic necessity for someone wanting to go into what’s more is that they require to be a (US) size zero,” she told AFP.

Actress Kareena Kapoor has been the focus of much media concentration since appearing in a bikini in the 2008 film “Tashan” (Style) — a significant progress in an industry known for its chaste treatment of romantic love.

The 29-year-old star slimmed down noticeably for the role and apparently distorted on set.

She has since had to deny suggestion that her current weight is unhealthful, as an alternative attributing her smaller size to eating in the approved manner, regular exercise and yoga.

“My size zero is such a hot topic of conversation… that when Saif (Ali Khan, her actor boyfriend) and I eat out at a restaurant, people don’t stare so much at us as… what is on my plate,” she told the Bombay Times newspaper.

“Some even ask the maitre d’: ‘What is she ordering for dinner?’ I love the interest constituent,” she said.

Other Bollywood actresses, like Bipashu Basu and Shilpa Shetty, have launched fitness or yoga videos.

Some, such as Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone, over and over again talk about the significance of sports in their health organization.

But while Kapoor and others can twist to their own individual dietician and fitness trainers for expert guidance, some health professionals fear the phenomenon could make a payment to dangerous, unregulated weight loss in the middle of fans.

“Maybe about a decade ago you would have had people come to me for post-pregnancy weight loss, or people with health conditions,” she said.

“Now I have more and more of the younger age group who don’t really need to lose weight but tell me they need to hammer off five kilogram’s.”

Hirani and Roshni Pithawala, another Mumbai-based specialist dietician and counselor, said Bollywood and the growth of Internet access, cable television and advertise are change the way Indians look at their bodies.

Few formal studies on the occurrence of eating disorder in India exist but one report recommended that conditions like anorexia and bulimia were increasing, even though they were yet to reach levels found in Western countries.

“Socio-economic educational changes and Westernization could result in the culture-change set of symptoms of eating disorders in India today,” the study, published in the journal Indian Pediatrics in May 2007, said.

The state of affairs was following a similar pattern to the West, with higher socio-economic groups pretentious, it additional.

Pithawala said peer weight in the middle of teenage girls to look good, family and school pressure played a part, as did a lack of education in Indian schools about nutrition and healthy eating.

When they look at their heroes and heroines, “they make an ideal image, which might not be the reality for them. That individual may have spent millions of rupees to get that figure. It’s an impractical goal,” she said.

Kapoor herself is as well alert to the problem, saying what works for her strength not work for everyone.

Victoria’s Secret is a retail association for women’s wear.

The story of the Victoria’s Secret is very attractive.

Roy Raymond, a graduate from Stanford School of Business was once went to a subdivision store to shop a Lingerie for his wife and he felt discomfiture while shopping undergarments for his wife due to open environment of the store and he decided to open an outlet for the undergarments for women with safe and easy to shop setting .

It was a huge idea and it clicked. He opened three more outlets. He also introduce a fashion magazine and later on the fashion show become the identity for VS.

They are so flourishing that in 2006, the sales of VS stores reach a mile stone of $5billion. This year the Victoria’s Secret Company will definitely be looking to break the preceding proceedings.

A spot of airbrushing here and there is to be predictable on any magazine cover – but online critics felt that this example appeared to be one step too far.

When the December issue of W magazine hit the news stand last week, there was instant quizzical from fashion fans, as to whether the by now slender Demi had been digitally altered – as in particular, her left hip appear to be significantly smaller than natural.

Fashion bloggers and reader went into online overdrive; point out that the usual curve of Miss Moore’s hip and thigh seem to be distorted.

W magazine has firmly deprived of the claims, saying that ‘nothing unusual’ took place – but a prominent style blog has put forward a far more tremendous theory…

The W cover sees the actress generous a gold Balmain leotard with tassled shoulder and drape around the hips – the same piece worn by 26-year-old model Anja Rubik on the footbridge during the current Paris show.

The creator of blog PopCultureMadness have sharp out the striking resemblance between Demi’s body on the cover, and that of the 20-years-younger model – quizzical as to whether a drastic body swap has taken place. By comparing two images side-be-side, some eagle-eyed fashion fans are even quizzical as to whether Demi in fact wore the Balmain leotard in the first place.

What do you think? Is that really Anja’s body we’re considering on the front of the periodical? Is it just an over-altered Demi? Or is this all just a big fuss about not no matter which? Let us know your commentary in the box below!

Leona has worn the British designer’s creation on the red carpet three times in November alone! First were these sequined harem pants. Then, just last night at the American Music Awards, she wears the same friggin’ bodice that she sport at MTV’s Europe Music Awards!

We’re all for fashionable attachment. But. Come. On. Switch it up a bit, girl.

Still, the skin bodice makes for one sexy getup. We like the longer, custom-made version improved. The additional tulle is a good deal more dramatic.

Victoria Secret just in custody their annual lingerie fashion show, and once again Celebes Jihad was not invited to be present at. If you are half as outraged at this snub as I was then I will need to pause for a instant to let you collect manually…..

When are those Zionist pigs at Victoria Secret going to be familiar with that Celebes Jihad is the Internet’s #1 celebrity gossip site run by Islamic extremists? It can only just be considered an “event” if we are not present to cover it!

As a presentation of goodwill I have determined to post pictures from the show. But hear me Victoria Secret, if I am not invite to the next showing and given a restricted backstage pass to the model altering area were I will be allowed to examine how the bras and panties fit, apply baby oil, and pinch nipples, and then there will be hell to pay!
