Dressed to kill!
The Indian television industry certainly scores low on fashion! Why else can't we boast of characters like Carrie Bradshaw or Gabrielle Solis?
Sarah Jessica Parker loaned a Fendi bag and kick-started a fashion parade in the show Sex and The City. Parker, as Carrie, then graduated to carrying an assortment of other luxury brands, which mutually benefited the series and the labels. Eva Longoria earned the fashion icon status fairly well in Desperate Housewives. Also a brand ambassador of L'Oreal, she makes equally fashionable appearances at the red carpet events (Cannes being the recent one).
Cut to the Indian television Industry-fashion is totally lost in the quagmire of generation leaps. Strangely, our TV industry hires stylists but experimentation is still at its lowest. While some actors rue the fact, some justify sleeping in fake
kanjivarams, with mascara and false jewellery in place!
