Preparations for the first ever India Resort Fashion Week 2011

Mumbai-based designer James Ferreira will open the show while Bollywood favourite Manish Malhotra will bring the curtains down Dec 10."When we think about beach fashion, style and attitude, Goa is the first destination on people's mind. Goa is visited by the maximum number of national and international tourists.
Goa has been synonymous with luxury, style and the beach experience worldwide," Ojha told IANS.
Delhi-based designer duo Shivan and Narresh, who specialise in resort wear, feel there is a long way to go to the next level, but are optimistic that with shows like this, resort wear in India will grow with leaps and bounds.
"Designers who ardently create resort wear many a times go unnoticed. India does not provide adequate impetus for this booming sector. IRFW provides numerous designers a platform to showcase their creativity. It will helps them tap this profitable segment," Shivan Bhatiya told IANS.

Metiers d'Art show: Chanel Pre-Fall 2012 and Karl Lagerfeld

Karl Lagerfeld appeared to spare no expense for the latest Chanel extravaganza, at the Galerie Courbe in the Grand Palais in Paris.
The Metiers d'Art show, launched in 2003 as a homage to the label's workshop, saw the Grand Palais in Paris transformed into an Indian-themed dinner party today, where they were served champagne, guava juice, tea, and miniature cakes and sandwiches. An antique silver train with the double-C Chanel logo ran around the central banquet table - and a feast fit for a king, lavishly romantic & always glamorous.

And there is no break for Karl Lagerfeld, who is so obsessed with his work, he doesn't even plan on taking time off for Christmas.

The designer told Style.com: 'Everyone I know is leaving, but I stay home because it's the only moment I can work on the Couture quietly, sketch, and take care of my books and houses - all the things I never have time to do the rest of the year.

'For me the ultimate luxury is to be alone, to have time for myself, not look at my watch, and do whatever I want, whenever I want.'
