Celeb cut
Celebrities and fashion are usually synonymous. Moving a step ahead, some turn designers in their own right by launching their own clothing line…
John Abraham's career trajectory is a perfect success story waiting to be written about, especially after the exploits of his production house. Not a gifted actor though, the MBA, model-turned-actor, used his business acumen to kick-start his clothes label back in 2007, when fashion really didn't even feature in Bollywood's scheme of things. The very next year he went international with his label.
Wearing her attitude
Designer Karishma Shahani says she is more art-oriented than commercial. This is quite evident from her creations…
Karishma Shahani was assimilating her India experience, comprising all the
colours and stark contrast of realities, documenting all the slums and
festivities; rebelling against its perception outside. In the process, designing
collections and brushing aside the constraints of commerce and industry.
