S*UCE STORE IN DUBAI

Before arriving to Dubai a lot of friends suggested me to visit the store S*uce at Dubai Mall, describing it with words like “unique” and “super colourful”. When I wrote on the blog and fanpage that I would have been in Dubai, the store itself asked me to visit it: I was breathless. Designers are from all over the world (a lot of them are locals) and the pieces are most of the time unique pieces. They have the best jewellery collection ever: maxi-necklaces and bracelets are incredible.. What did I chose to bring home with me? You can see them in the last photos  What do you say? Which is your favourite one?

Best fashion sales in Mumbai

Designer Sabyasachi presented five limited edition saris inspired by Indian fashion icon Maharani Gayatri Devi at the Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai on January 14, at the launch of Rambagh Palace -- a new book that chronicles the story of the late Rajmata’s former palatial home in Jaipur.

The designer has long been an admirer of the erstwhile royal he says.

"She has such an extraordinary aura about her,” he says. “There’s a softness and approachability about her even though she’s a royal.”

To conceptualize and create a tribute to an icon is a task. But to do everything in a short, frantic two-week period, while juggling store launches, his S/S 13 collection and guest blogging at Vogue is a fashion feat.

The late Rajmata's individual style was so recognizable -- think: old world chiffon saris and dark glasses -- that Sabyasachi became assiduous about finding the balance between being creative and “straying too far away from the inspiration”.

"Heritage needs to be dynamic,” he says. When recreating heritage it ought to be adapted for the times.

The designer paid extra attention to authenticity in his collection using the Maharani’s preferred palette of ecru, ivory, old rose pink and Dutch blue. Then pairing Indian embellishments like gota patti, zardozi and pearl embroidery with French needlepoint and Russian bullion -- foreign crafts that only princesses could afford at one time. The pearls were dipped in tea and coffee liqueur to give them an antique sheen.

Sabayachi used took traditional chiffon prints and transferred them on to yards of French organza, tulle and duchesse satin.

“The fits were not snug, they were slightly loose,” he adds. Pallus were draped over the models’ heads and a pair or two of Chanel sunglasses made an appearance.

The styling followed the same sophisticated, elegant, feminine code. Satin blouses featured 10-inch sleeves, a popular style during Gayatri Devi’s time and were decked with handmade buttons. The final, finishing touch: jewellery by Jaipur Gems.

“I insisted on them [Jaipur Gems],” says Sabayasachi. “They were the original jewellers to Gayatri Devi.”

10 fashion resolutions to keep in 2013

1) Clean out your closet

There’s a pile of clothes you’ve never worn because they were a) bought on a whim, b) of sentimental value c) not right for any occasion. If you haven’t worn it in the past six months, gift it to someone who will and earn yourself some good karma (and more closet space).

2) Dress to flatter your shape

Your 2013 resolution is to, finally, get your best body. But until then, don’t dress in denial. Polish up your arsenal of fashion tricks to conceal those love handles and thunder thighs– think peplum waists, palazzos, colour blocking, structured jackets, scooped necklines. Hello, Miss Hourglass

3) Invest in a quality classic

Trend junkies, this one’s for you. Instead of diving headfirst into every new fad you spot, reserve a part of your fashion budget for one long-term love that’ll see you through the seasons. A Shahab Durazi pantsuit perhaps, or that Celine leather tote…

4) Take a fashion risk

Before Marc Jacobs and Miuccia Prada tried it for their Autumn/Winter 2012 presentations, you might have laughed at the thought of wearing a pair of trousers under a skirt. With these style luminaries leading the way, take a definitive step out of your safe zone with head-to-toe-colour, a bold haircut or even just a daring new silhouette. Nobody should accuse you of being boring in 2013.

5) Get over the LBD

Raspberry, emerald, slate and oxblood- there’s a whole Pantone family out there you’ve never even met. Trade your LBD in for a figure-flattering sheath in a bolder colour, and let the compliments flow.

6) Wear your best clothes everyday

We're all guilty of this. Buying another beautiful white shirt that goes into the 'special occasions' pile while you traipse out the door everyday in your tired old jeans-and-tee combo. Since the new you in 2013 promises to look fabulous every day, those clothes are coming out from their museum space.

7) Fall in love with a crazy print

Who says fashion doesn’t have a sense of humour? Quirky prints are the easiest way to shake your wardrobe up, whether you choose to let them dominate a colourful maxi dress or just add an accent with a fun scarf.

8) Make a statement with your accessories

You’ve admired those big, beautiful baubles for so long, now’s the time to get your own. A spiked necklace from Manipur-born Mawi or a super-stacked Pamelo Love ring and you'll be on your way to creating your own heirloom collection.

9) Break your online shopping jinx

The year is 2013, and shoppers no longer wait in lines outside their favourite retail stores. They're buying the latest collections kilometres away from the comfort of their couches. And with all the safety measures guaranteed to keep you from being conned - free shipping, 30-day return policy, elaborate size guides - there's really no excuse to play it old school any more. 

10) Be kind to the planet

There's nothing chic about toxic waste destroying the environment. Whether it's supporting the organic clothing movement or swapping plastic for paper bags at the next big sale, we could try a little harder to be more eco-friendly this year.
