Fashion is the showstopper
Designs by Ashish Soni The recently concluded Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week has proved that if the clothes-line is strong, a show can be pulled off minus the frills and bling

Dare to be bare
Actor Gurleen Chopra, who is home for Diwali, likes to keep her make-up to a bare minimum
The festive glow need not follow an hour long vanity session. Nor does looking good come as easy as a make-up kit. At times it’s the hint of colour that makes a world of difference and at times, it is the lack of it.
