The Yellow Fellow

On a bright sunny winter morning , We lab keepers , decided to take a plunge and pump up an Indian kurta !

Grabbing out Americanoes , we rushed into the car and started swinging on the streets of Delhi .

 

6:45

We land up ourselves on a rahgiri day , at cannaught place  ( Read : The heart Of New Delhi ) , and found this perfect spot to shoot !

 

 

Wrapping up myself in a printed floral fabric ( worn as an over sized scarf here ) , with a sea blue kurta , denims and Reebok Classics , with  finishing touches of Green Patka ( Read :- Turban ) , and reflective glasses ( I use them quite often , because i love them a lot ) .

Putting this look together , for a cozy winter morning was quite fun .

 

We took this look , to a whole next level , by adding an Occur Studded  bag   , and a Neoprene  overcoat, which is my current favorite !

The grafitti , at the back , served as a best friend to pump up the look and gave a brilliant location !

We styled this Desi kurta , giving it a modern and Not so contemporary Look , supported with Right accessories.

We would love to see , how you would style up your kurta ?

Till then , Slay in style !

WINTER HUES

WINTER HUES

 

 

My work takes me everywhere and to everyone. I don’t try to match situations and places to my attire. I try to match it with my mood and attitude towards my work. So I was in Chandni chowk where most of the opposite sex would be told to cover up because of certain sense of safety and anthrophobia. But I’m a free soul not changed to society’s idea of good or bad. I could stand out by being freaky and adorning haute couture but I decide to keep it Human and yet be superior among mortal.

 

It’s early morning  at the busiest part of the capital, work starts before most men have seen the first light , and my Movember trend is still on ! My beard and me , both have become dark and dense , with november and shall continue to stand tall ! I would pick up the brown leather jacket over basic check shirt to conceive my madness (golden pointy badges) and yet keep it stylish and neat.Going through tiny lanes I meet different people who don’t turn in shock but in appreciation of what they could have done because… “my touch is lot too much”

 

 

It could have been easy for me to pay someone and get my work done, But I believe people’s admiration and faith comes when everything you make have your touch.So I go to different markets meet different people of all statuses ranging from Filthy rich to downtrodden poor exchanging, haggling and bargaining. It’s a bustling market full of buyers and sellers, and early morning my Blue Knit joggers are just the thing I need to keep me comfortable and yet active avoiding jerks and pushovers.Its early November mist has started to rise and as you know “Winter is coming” so I need another layer under my Blue Bolero jacket which is just breaking the monotony and not rubbing it on people’s face, and this Grey knit Pullover does right justice to me keeping me warm, classy . Lets face it I am a no non-sense person Early in the morning.

 

 

Don’t you love the fog or wait…ermm.. Smogg yeah. Perfect brilliant white background and natural light, eery coolness to the environment .I wish it could be the same 24 x 7. I decide to take…. a Jog in the fog for my blog (damn Iam good).. till the time few of my lazy merchants get up. Frankly speaking Neon was my first love, it’s a born winner , best believe it. It takes real guts and madness to carry it off. BH adds or (I love to call it) sprinkled some neon on this grey knit jacket making it visible yet subtle. You don’t want to be part of the herd wearing same old jersey training jacket or one of those ugly thermocots or worst have a football team logo in front (which you have no clue about, FYI: Beckham no more plays in MAN U)

 

We all have same 24 hours, same seasons, same places, same resources if not better to become a better person, But rising above all requires no money, no contacts, only sheer dedication and creativity. You know you are doing great when people regardless of stature and class love you equally, wish for you, help you because at some point of time you have also done the same to them,

If that’s not Being Yourself ,  I don’t know what is.

WIND OF WINTER -THREESOME

Hello Guys !!!

Welcome back and Im having a Threesome !

Ha ha ha , Not literally .

I have A very Cool Brand , Threesome , on board This time , which  is about three design philosophies getting comprised into one. Started by 3 friends who have been together in college – sharing an interest in fashion and style, the three designers behind the label subscribe to different design ideas and working styles; but share a similar vision and understanding.

 

 

So we got Ankit , One of the pillars , From threesome ,  to Shoot with Us , and we styled him In threesome menswear , in a  threesome Awesome Way .

A textured Coat , with leather detailings ,  A rust T shirt , and Chinos, added with a printed Scarf . Thats how  we defined Ankit’s look .

 

 

On being asked , Why Threesome ?

The key inspiration to start the label was to work together and experience the eccentricity and vibrance of the design world and indulge to give back and add what they have to offer.

To explore the endless possibilities of design and together achieve an amalgamation of three different styles coming together to form one unique thing – this is the main essence of Threesome.

 

Apart From being a Womenswear label , Threesome also indulge in  Menswear and how !

Styled Ankit , for his second look , with a tribal printed shirt and leather patch pocket . Paying main emphasis about  the detailings At the collar and The placket , the shirt is a complete winner .

The high point in their career , apart from just working together , was showcasing in Lakme Gen Next . GenNext was  a turning point in the careers of these three – an opportunity, a break that the three of them are so grateful to Lakme for .

 

 

We whole heartidly wish , Team THREESOME , a very very bright future .

POLKATION – My love for POLKAS.

Helloooooooooooo Guys !

My favourite and My love for Polka Dots , takes Over this Feature !

Every season , Some or the other Designer takes The classic Polka trend and Re interprets in their own way .

The term Polks popped in 1830’s  and became a rising trend amongst everybody !

in 1962 , DC comincs , picked up the polka dots trend , and Made it Universally Popular !

 

Keeping it Fun , Experimental and Over the top , We decided to Be playful and slut up a formal black Format suit , with a million Neon pink Post its / Stickers and Create a pattern .

Robin  Dhillion , became my muse For this Project and boy ! That beard and that Expression , and oodles of attitude , with a tinch of smirk , made the look go Hundred notches above .

 

On robin , we added a three piece Black suit , from Param sahib Clothing , and an informal , studded Bowtie , with our Statement Gold badge , all Inhouse and  Handmade .

 

Creating a pattern with Pink and gold dots , was Funnnn! As gold and pink when put together creates magic !

To add on , we put An Embroidered ,  Indian by Manish Arora I pad case , that i designer when i was with the company .

 

What i really love about My blog is that fact , that i dont Run after Trends , but i get to create magic here . I create and Publish what i enjoy and that brings out the best , and shows what i want to show .

My take On the polka dots  is exactly like how would incorporate the Trend into the clothes .

 

Hope you enjoyed the post too !

Connoisseur Of Cool

CONNOISSEUR OF COOL

With Julian Parr

 

After Having a near Heartattack experience  From the massive dogs , who stays on the groundfloor , i took a lift to the third floor , where He stays .

The lift opens , and tadaaaaa! To my surprise , i was welcomed By Julian’s pet , Biscuit !

 

I have to admit , that i keep myself away from pets , But Biscut ( as julian likes to call him ) , won my heart yet Kept me scared .

Julian and Mr Biscuit here .

I entered Julian’s House and it felt like i have literally Entered The Mad Hatters Residence .  A dream house , with Everything so carefully Picked and put together and a positive Vibe Running in every breath i took . We quickly Moved to julians Room, Wallpapered with the most Exquisite Floral wallpaper , and Then the wardobe , which prepapred me for a second heartattack .

 

 

For the first look , we Prepared julain after a massive dilemma , into a Baby pink hat , Tweed Two piece and a Zig zag tie , from his personal Tie collection of over more than 100 pieces .

The Picture came out beyond My expectation and loved every bit of the setup !

 

We moved on to our second look Quickly , in julians Study .

Giving a full Printed look , Thrown with a Blazer , floral Shirt and A striking Red hat , and Mint pants ,julian’s Look spoke about Lesson to get Print-on-Print Right .

Added with a Digital Printed pocket square , and Gold Footwear  , and  biscuit on his side , the picture came out Breathtaking .

 

Coming towards the end of the Shoot , was out Third shot , to be Exactly Shot in front of julains priced possesion. The bar !

Putting The Purple phase look on julian , with a Glamour Loaded hat , with satin band  , A three piece , with detailed collared blazer and a printed waistcoat , Blue Satin pocketsqaure  , tartan checkered pants and Electric blue Suedes , Set the mood with a Topping up of Martini .

 

Julian’s been , by far the best Model and Person to shoot with , because of his Promptness and  ease to carry any outfit with Zero Double Thoughts . Julians flair For Fashion and his Attempts to Bring out something offbeat and never put together , for men , is way beyond time  and sensibilities .
