New Attractive Venues for Indian Weddings

It seems like getting exclusive dresses from the top Indian Fashion Designers is no longer enough for Indian celebrities.
The new frontier of luxurious Indian weddings is the choice of the venue, and the new fashion is to celebrate at Mauritius.

Rich Indians and Bollywood stars made Mauritius a popular location for celebrating their wedding with family and friends. 
In particular InterContinental Hotel in Balaclava and Oberoi Mauritius are the top seaside resorts for the extravagant cerimonies, that continue for days.










The costs involved are impressive! About USD 300,000 per day for 400 guests!
Also, those who can afford additional caprices, chartered planes and dance performances by Bollywood stars can bring the expenses to millions.

If usually the attention is on the costs for bridal clothes, in these expensive scenarios they are considered the least worry.

Lucky those who can celebrate in this fairy tale fashion their wedding!

Into the Business: The Case of Anita Dongre

The fashion industry is fast growing, challenging and competitive.
These features make a career in Fashion Design one of the steepest paths possible.
Moreover, India is characterized by a further complication: the variety of tastes between traditional and contemporary clothing.

What is the recipe for success then? 
Unfortunately there's not just one, each story is unique. But today we want to focus on a designer who managed to turn the risks of this business in strengths: Anita Dongre.



When Anita Dongre started creating her collections traditional, heavy embroidered Indian clothes had were doing good in their market. Nevertheless, she decided to focus on a new segment: she wanted her products to attract younger targets, adapting the tradition to the new urban trends.

Her experiences abroad proved crucial in creating a unique new style for her lines, which are the result of a balanced mix of tradition and innovation.

The success she obtained is Unbelievable! Imagine that the business magazine Forbes stated that her business is headed to becoming the most profitable among Indian Designers!
..What can we add? Congratulations Dongre!

Below you can see a sample of her creations.

Mother's Day's Coming!!

Hello everyone!


Everywhere around UK in the past week several events have been dedicated to the upcoming Mother's Day:
Fairs, merchandize, even specific Fashion Shows and Events to make sure everyone could find the perfect gift!
BAZAAR interviewed nine Fashion Designers on their mother's Day Memories: what a cool idea!




But how much do you know about this Holiday?


Mother's Day, also known as "Mothering Day", is a Sunday celebration where families pay tribute to the role mums play in their lives, giving thanks for everything they do.
This annual celebration to mothers and motherhood was introduced in the USA in 1908, and then started being celebrated also elsewhere. Every country picked a different date, so that in the end mothers are actually celebrated at any time in the year!

Isn't this the least? Where would we all be without our mums!!
