All of sudden i think theres way too many things to buy in Bombay.
Here is more stuff i got to add to my wardrobe from fcuk.
After spending an hour or more trying on almost everything from the
menswear section i decided to go the womens and get something.
With so many tempting florals, power shouldered striped dresses and
tons of sequins.
I settled for this flesh coloured jersey dress with embroidered sleeves
perfect to share with my better (wardrobe) half.
from the mens i got the basic printed long tshirt cause it reminded me
of one of my favourite videos , M83 - we own the sky.
Watching the IPL final can be very boring so after we finished watching
it we decided to take pictures at my friends apartment.
All available at the FCUK Store at linking road, bandra.

This was long pending like all my other posts, my first time at Delhi fashion week.
Over packed and only 3 days late im not sure if i expected too much or i missed
alot of the nice shows from earlier.
With extravagant presentations everywhere from lazer shows, dancers, films, mascots,
symphony of vocal sounds the clothes started to seem second best.
Prashant Verma's shredded flesh coat left a lasting impression on me and i should try
it on soon, may be own it. perfect for 4am walks.

The models vanished into the the plain layers of the muslin forest at Pratap to
Thom Yorke's hearing damage. The perforated fabrics and sequined jackets
were genius, along with the perfect asymmetric blazer but the symphony was
the most memorable part of the show.

Varun Sardana's felt details looked even better up close and had many more
great separates not shown on the runway. Also spotted on more people then
any other designer -Varun's first few collections to his newest aw 2010.
Then there was the first day which was pushed to the day after the finale which
meant i missed one day less i guess shit happens for good, i was reminded that
 i still don't own sequined pants (Atsu).
