Twist in the trend
Whip creativity with wit to get quirky fashion. There is an inherent eccentricity to this segment of fashion but that doesn’t make it frivolous. It can be in a whole or in elements introducing edginess, like graffiti prints by designer duo Rixi Bhatia and Jayesh Sachdev or a few dragonflies hovering on the creations by Sayantan Sarkar at the
latest edition of Lakme Fashion Week. Designers say that quirky fashion gave a break to the industry from norms like embroidery, embellishments, floral prints, checks, among other stereotypes that defined fashion before Manish Arora, the poster boy of quirk in India, sent his designs down the ramp. Now, it’s so popular that at least 10 designers’ collection at LFW flaunted quirky ideas.

As exclusive as it gets
During a recent trip to England, I made sure The Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, was very much on my itinerary. I had read about it several times, but never had the chance to visit.
CELEB POINT
Missing Gannu bappa
When I was in Punjab, we used to watch the Ganpati celebrations on TV. It used to mesmerise me, lakhs of people, immersion of the Ganpati idol and above all, the faith that Lord Ganesha would bring in happiness and prosperity for all.

Thin is not in
Let’s face it, the looks should be so much that they raise many a brow. In awe and admiration, that is. The right shape of brows decides whether you are too surprised to react or bored beyond expression. Thick, thin, straight or arched can be quite a tough choice. For those who envy the thick brows of Family star Sofia Vergara, they are bang in sync with the current trends.

When old is sexy!
One is strangely fascinated with the lines from Haruki Murakami's book, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, which read-Whiskey, like a beautiful woman, demands appreciation… you gaze first, then it's time to drink! At the JW Marriot, Alex Robertson, international brand ambassador of the Chivas Brothers, engages in an interesting conversation as he talks about his passion.

Pearls of wisdom
Who does not revel in an admiring second look or a glance? Some artfully hide their pleasure and shrug off the importance and some openly exhibit their happiness! But Neha Bhuyan, a student of fashion designing at SIFT, believes in admitting the obvious.
