Gucci’s Bamboo Shopper bag

Trust you all know of Gucci’s iconic Bamboo shopper bag? Often seen on the arms of a host of slebs that include Sonam Kapoor, the Italian fashion house has decided to shill it some more: they have come up with a gorgeous short film called Bamboo Confidential for it.

Shot on location in London at The Savoy, the short – a game of seduction and pursuit – takes viewers back to founder Guccio Gucci’s pivotal beginnings. It was here at this historic hotel, where working as a lift boy in the early 1900s, Guccio was inspired by the new travelling class and formulated the idea to one day launch his eponymous leather goods company. Fittingly, a key scene of the film finds our heroine making a quick change in the hotel’s elevator.

Gucci’s Lady Lock handbag

All of Gucci’s social media networks will also dedicate two weeks to the Bamboo story, covering not only the video but also the history and craftsmanship behind the icon. Of special note is an Instagram initiative involving 40 bloggers from 19 countries (which includes our MissMalini!!!), all of whom interpreted the Bamboo Confidential narrative by snapping images of themselves and the bags in elevators throughout the world.

Ah, another day, another outfit of Farhan Akhtar for us to muse over. So, friends, what do you think of his get-up at the Intex Ai7 phone launch, err, a while back?

Farhan Akhtar

Gucci’s first men’s flagship in Europe

Yep, we can all now take a virtual walk through Gucci’s first men’s flagship store in Europe in Milan’s Brera district, thanks to Gucci’s tie-up with Google. I just tried it and it is pretty cool!

The experience is available via mobile, tablet and desktop through browser and app navigation. On the Google Maps app for Android and iOS, users can access the instore view using the accelerometer that allows navigation simply by moving around one’s device.

Virat Kohli

Ah, it’s that time of the year again! Last year’s GQ Men of the Year threw us this delightful conundrum, but what about this year? Friends, I’m afraid there’s not much to write home about. Give or take the odd one out, the menswear at Four Seasons on Sunday night was rather underwhelming. Still, I’ve sifted the good, the bad and the ugly – won’t you check them out?

The UGLY

Hrithik Roshan

From that tacky fabric to the fat lapels, there’s nothing redeemable about this dinner jacket.

Hrithik Roshan

My. Least. Favourite. Look. of the night.

Randeep Hooda

Mr Hooda, we loved your look at the last GQ bash, but this is just unacceptable – soz! Mate, we’re at the GQ Men of the Year – and not some dodgy boat party.

the bad

Manoj Bajpayee

Terrible tailoring, and what a limp excuse of a bow-tie.

Prateik Babbar

Prateik Babbar (Photo courtesy | GQ India)

Ah, bad suit days happen to cute guys too.

Farhan & Adhuna Akhtar

Farhan Akhtar & Milkha Singh

Like Prateik’s, Farhan’s dinner suit too was one size too big.

Farhan Akhtar

But neck up, he looked like a Hollywood heartthrob of yore… *swoon*

Rahul Bose

Rahul Bose

Whilst the dinner suit is tailored to perfection, that shiny fabric is making eyes blink a little too much to let it pass. This is Rahul bloody Bose, we expect nothing but sartorial perfection, every single time.

Vir Das

Too. Much. Navy.

the good

Arjun Rampal

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra in Rajesh Pratap Singh

Desi menswear always scores big with me, so it’s no surprise to find these two hombres in here. But, they were, by no means, flawless: Arjun’s bandhgala is on the wrong side of baggy and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s trousers could go up an inch or half.

Virat Kohli (Photo courtesy | GQ India)

Virat Kohli in Burberry

What a dandy this Virat Kohli is! Although I’m not on board with those patent leather slippers, that navy slim fit Burberry suit and pop of colour by way of pocket square is enough to get him on top of this pile.

Purab Kohli

Ah, Purab Kohli, fast becoming a fave in these pages. The reason being, his style selections never tread on the beaten path – and that he makes them work, always.

Purab Kohli

The most recent case in point is his burgundy-rich ensemble to the Farfetch-Le Mill party – who said evening suits should just be in blacks, slates and navys, aye? And it always helps when your suit is immaculately tailored, like Purab’s here.

P.S. He looks equally hot sans… ;-)

Guys, if you were dithering on hopping on the biker chic trend – which, btw, is showing no signs of slowing down – I present to you Shahid Kapoor. Clad in a great leather motorcycle jacket, leather boots with thick rubber soles and grey slim jeans, he was the picture of rugged elegance. This is the most macho he’s ever looked… a defo Hot! for me. How about you?

Manish Arora

Ah, you gotta check this one out! Conceptualised by Manish Arora but directed by Bharat Sikka, the film is about the Varanasi widows who were allowed to play Holi for the first time in 2013. It is just so artistically shot! Little wonder then that it took home the Grand Prix, Best Sound and Best Talent awards at the 6^th edition of the ASVOFF, a festival for fashion films that took place from Oct 11-13 at the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

Film Synopsis

As the scene opens, we’re enveloped instantly by something that’s lonely and has been left to wither away and decay. Forlorn and alone, we see Bishi’s back turned to the camera as she walks down an inner lane of a village inviting dusk. She joins a congregation of young and old widows in a prayer room, all dressed in white saris and at different points of degeneration. They look dusty like old objects. There is a transition and an explosion of color with a celebration in the streets of a small village where there’s confusion as well as excitement among its dwellers in the novelty of the few 50 widows that reluctantly and joyously (secretly) mingle around and amongst the village people. With smiles that they’ve finally broken into, covered in Holi color and Manish Arora’s vivid clothes. We now understand that the forgotten women are part of the community again but only for a short while. Bishi is then captured and sits in a small boat in a lake, rowed by a single small man, half her size. He cannot fathom why she sings an inaudible melody. She is dark, strong, and her eyes along with her voice are like two in a band show after a long journey.

John Abraham

I know, I’ve been much too critical of John Abraham’s sloppy sartorial choices for… ever, but his latest outing gets a full thumbs-up from me. (Hurray! No flip-flops in sight!) Yeah, he simply nailed the casual look in that “eclipse navy” Superdry premium appliqué t-shirt, Diesel jeans and “dress blue” Canvas Authentic trainers. This one gets a Hot! from me – how about you? Too much navy?

Bryan Cranston as drug lord Walter White in ‘Breaking Bad’

Ah, looks like Apple’s pulled off quite a coup there – roping in the flavour of the month to shill in its next flagship device. Yeah, Bryan Cranston aka Walter White has lent his sonorous voice to the TVC for iPad Air. Pretty cool, aye?

iPad Air

iPad Air

Regardless, it’s an outstanding piece of advertising, one that hits Don Draper’s ‘Kodak Moments’ levels of greatness. The TVC showcases not only how important the product has become in our daily lives, it also makes the newest version look pretty irresistible. It’s bloody thinner than a pencil, can you believe!

Hello, today’s post is a PSA. Yep, everyone’s fave boutique Bollywood actor finally makes his entry (as Tarun Khosla) in tonight’s episode of 24, so DO NOT miss!

Seeing how the show has unfolded so far, we kinda know already the trajectory of his character.

Still, it’ll be a wonderful treat for his parched fans – he plays a high-flying investment banker who’s pretty slick, meaning it’d be almost like watching him in his day-to-day life. And, to tide your over to 10pm, I’ve got some stills for you… :-)

Rahul Khanna

So yeah, 10pm at Colors tonight, and while you’re at it, do admire the immaculately cut grey suit and the tab-collar shirt (!!!)… ;-)

You guys, how amazeballs did Imran Khan look at The Front Row with Anupama Chopra? Between the Tom Ford suit and tab collar shirt, Drake’s knitted tie and Church’s brogues, he simply smashed it out of the ballpark. As he does when it comes to formal wear (see here and here to get an idea).

Imran Khan

But what I loved most about this ensemble were those mismatched socks. Just the right spot of whimsy to liven up a staid look. This, my friends, is the mark of a true dandy…

Imran Khan (Photo courtesy | From the sets of “And the nominees are…”)

Ever wondered why Imran Khan looks so bloody well put together every single time he steps out? Well, we’ve got the intel… ;-)

Imran Khan

Imran Khan

This is what he has to say:

“I have a subscription to Esquire magazine and a taste for old-school tailoring… I follow blogs like Put This On and Permanent Style. I’m not so much spotting trends as I’m wearing things that have never gone out of style but are just having fashion ‘moments’ right now.”

Imran Khan

Imran Khan (Photo courtesy | Yogen Shah)

While I love a well-dressed man, I feel cheated on when I learn that a professional stylist was behind the look. So the fact that he pieced together these impressive ensembles all by himself has made them, golden.

Imran Khan

Imran Khan (Photo courtesy | Yogen Shah)

Heck, we’re looking at a man who: is never seen in shabbily tailored suits, wrong trouser length or breaking suit etiquette; sports knitted ties, tab collar shirts, monk straps and labels for those in the know; has given us some formalwear looks up there with the very best. So yeah, in the off chance that his acting career grinds to a halt, he can always hack it as a fashion editor.

Imran Khan

But, I’m not sold on all his sartorial choices – his casualwear could do with some adventure, like this… :-)

Karan Johar

Did you catch the Season 4 premiere of Koffee with Karan? What an innuendo-filled episode it was! But what delighted me more was the sighting of the Lanvin buttonhole flower pin on the left lapel of Karan Johar’s velvet blazer.

Harry Styles at the BBC Radio 1′s Teen Awards held on October 7, 2012

Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson at the 65th Anniversary Party on May 21, 2012

Joshua Jackson at the ‘Killing Them Softly’ premiere during 65th Annual Cannes Film Festival on May 22, 2012

Hitherto seen on Harry Styles and Joshua Jackson, this is the first time I have seen someone in B-Town sport it.

Lanvin buttonhole flower pin (Photo courtesy | Mr Porter)

However, I’d have liked it more had he gone for a lighter shade, as it would have popped more against the rich hue of the blazer. Still, nicely played, Mr Johar!

Guys, I can’t recommend this charming little accessory enough – just pop it in the left lapel of your blazer and you’ll easily be the most interestingly dressed man in the room. You can’t get the exact same one as Karan, but there are a good few options on Mr P and the Lanvin e-store…. :-)

Varun Dhawan

Ah, it’s that time of the year again! Kicking it all off was the Life OK Screen Awards on Tuesday night. You saw how the women fared, now check out the men… ;-)

The Ugly

Ayesha Fazli and Ali Zafar

Cuban boots! Trousers puddling around the ankles! So much make-up! This is one disastrous red carpet outing from Ali Zafar.

Vivek Oberoi and Priyanka Alva

Aftab Shivdasani and Nin Dusanj

These two are self-explanatory, aye?

Pulkit Samrat

Helloooooo Pulkit Samrat, which decade are we in?

Amit Sadh

Shahid Kapoor

Such fugly material these two suits are made from.

The Bad

Ranveer Singh in Tom Ford

What a waste of a gorgeous Tom Ford number! To work this electric blue velvet dinner jacket, you need to keep things sleek and uncluttered, but Ranveer Singh went overboard. There was no need for the waistcoat or the pocket square and the trousers needed to be tapered and hemmed, for this look to work.

Sonu Sood

Girish Kumar

These two would’ve been in the good section had they not buttoned-up both the buttons of their suit jackets.

Amitabh, Jaya and Abhishek Bachchan

Abhishek, mate, why so fusty and black? But Big B, dapper as always…

Karan Johar and Ayan Mukerji in Versace

Both the trousers are too long. K Jo has one-too-many attention-grabbing pieces, and even worse, he’s not working them.

The Good

Varun Dhawan

What a fine dandy this Varun Dhawan is, non? Although a tad matchy-matchy and the trousers a little too long, this ensemble still gets a thumbs-up from me for… the boutonnière!

Riteish Deshmukh

How elegant does Riteish Deshmukh look in that bandhgala? Always helps when it’s as expertly tailored as Riteish’s. Proof? Check out the sleeves – they’re showing just the right amount of shirt cuff. And nice pop of colour by way of the pocket square (which could’ve been more neatly folded).

Kunal Kemmu

Adhuna and Farhan Akhtar

Both Farhan Akhtar and Kunal Kemmu scrubbed up nice in jodhpurs, non? There’s nothing separating these two here – more of this, please!

Rajkummar Rao

Very dapper indeed, Messier Rajkumar Rao!

Abhay Deol

Two words: über cool.

Shah Rukh Khan

I’ve given up hope of ever seeing him in trousers that are of the right length, so that aside, nice effort from SRK. But that pre-tied bow-tie and wing tip collared shirt are just so wrong!

Manish Paul

My vote for the best-dressed of the night, and it is do with that immaculately-cut three-piece. The fabric could’ve been less shiny, but that tie and those patent balmorals totally make up for it… ;-)

Ranveer Singh

Another day, another red carpet outing for the Bollywood folks. This time, it was the nominations party for the 59^th Filmfare Awards. Here’s what I thought of the menswear on display that night… :-)

The Ugly

Ranveer Singh in Versace A/W’13

My, where do I start with this outfit! Right from those Christian Louboutin loafers to those round-framed eyeglasses, everything about this look is desperately attention-seeking. And that deconstructed Prince of Wales check suit from Versace’s A/W’13 collection, you’ll be hard-pressed to find something as unsightly as that. There’s one thing being fashion forward, another being trying too hard. This, my friends, is the perfect example of the latter.

Ali Zafar in Armnai Collezioni

The return of the Cuban boots… aaarrrgggghhh.

Shiv Darshan

Self-explanatory, no?

The Bad

Huma Qureshi and Saqib Saleem

Guys, never, I repeat, never button up both the buttons of your suit jacket or blazer, like Saqib Saleem has. It’s wrong suit etiquette, and you don’t want to be caught doing it, do you?

Ayan Mukerji in Hugo Boss

Karan Johar

Arjun Kapoor in Versace

And on the other hand, you don’t want to leave your suit jacket/blazer completely unbuttoned, like Ayan Mukerji, Karan Johar and Arjun Kapoor here, either. That again is wrong suit etiquette. Always, always do up the top button – only.

Ayan would’ve been on the next section otherwise, and that is one gorgeous windowpane jacket on him. (It’s by Hugo Boss and is available at The Collective, FYI.) As for K Jo, I’m stumped that someone so “fashion conscious” can consistently turn up in trousers that bunch around the ankles and in such hideous footwear. Whilst it’s a decent suit, the slim shawl collar on the Versace jacket is rather unflattering for Arjun’s frame.

The Good

Farhan Akhtar

A neat, unfussy look – always welcome by us.

Dhanush in Sand

Oh, bless! Dhanush looks sweet, no? Although wish the Sand jacket was more fitted around his torso…

Prateik Babbar at the nomination party for the 59th Filmfare Awards

See, Prateik can scrub up nice if he wants to. Or, I’d like to think it’s the effect of the one-too-many FINED! posts on our site… ;-)

Ronit Roy

What a fine three-piece suit that is on Ronit Roy!

Taaha Shah in Ken Ferns

But, my vote for the best-dressed of the night goes to Taaha Shah. Totally loving that jacket by Ken Ferns, and more so that he kept the rest of his outfit austere for it to stand out. Ranveer Singh, this is how it is done.

Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor

The 9^th Star Guild Awards on Thursday night capped the hattrick of events this week. You already saw how the women fared, now here’s the men’s style card… :-)

The Ugly

Nin Dusanj and Aftab Shivdasani

Vivek Oberoi

These two can’t catch a break when it comes to sartorial matters!

The Bad

Saqib Saleem

Did you make that suit out of Bacofoil, Saqib? And I repeat, never do up both the buttons of your suit jacket!!

Riteish Deshmukh

Salman Khan

Tack-tastic, all! And check out Salman Khan’s shoes… *facepalm*

Arjun Kapoor in Burberry

While I love the fabric and hue of Arjun’s Burberry suit, I can’t look past its terrible fit. Soz!

Shahid Kapoor

Back-to-back dismal looks from Shahid now. Seriously mate, didn’t those cheap-looking lapels not put you off this jacket? And leaving it hanging like that just made it worse.

Shah Rukh Khan

Oh, bless, he just doesn’t know what to do with the buttons on his jacket. One of these days I gotta sit down with him and run him through the nuts and bolts of dressing up…

Karan Johar

From where does K.Jo find all these horrific outfits?

Rajkummar Rao

Prabhudeva

Prabhudeva and Rajkumar Rao, two hombres who would’ve been in the next section had they hemmed their trousers properly. Esp. Prabhudeva. Spiffy jacket and nice pop of colour by way of the pocket square.

The Good

Ranveer Singh in Gucci Pre-Fall’13

Marked improvement from his previous two nights’ appearances (see here and here), but still not perfect. It’s just that gorgeous jacket – from Gucci’s Pre-Fall’13 collection – that got him in this section. Just look at his trousers – always so ill-fitting, always…

Girish Kumar

Bless, he’s trying, earnestly – and for that he needs to be here. Now he needs to learn how to fold a pocket square.

Arjan Bajwa

Abhishek and Amitabh Bachchan

Adhuna and Farhan Akhtar

Unfussy looks held together with some tidy tailoring – of course, they belong in this section.

Adhuna and Farhan Akhtar

And special mention of Farhan’s windowpane jacket – wish he had paired it with a lighter coloured shirt.

Vishesh Bhatt

I can’t articulate enough how masterful this look is.

Lanvin Buttonhole Flowerpin (Photo courtesy | Mr Porter)

Vishesh Bhatt had me with that immaculately cut DB suit, but that Lanvin buttonhole flower pin took it to a whole new level. Muy jefe!
