Bio Oil #YummyMummy Yummilicious Fashion Walk

Bio Oil #YummyMummy Yummilicious Fashion Walk

Hey guys,

Bio Oil had this fun event on Saturday called the Yummilicious Fashion Walk where pregnant mothers were going to ramp walk. They had a contest where they chose 12 pregnant women to walk the show. Carol Gracias and Shveta Salve, both being pregnant too currently, walked along with them.

Carol had choreographed the show and all the ladies wore beautiful outfits by Inaaya By Shivangi Lahoty. They also had floral jewellery, hand harness, armlets, etc. made by Shivangi. From the hair and makeup to the outfit, entire appearance of the mommies-to-be was taken care of, and they all looked beautiful and glowing!

Pregnancy is the most beautiful phase in a woman’s life, but a lot of mothers-to-be usually shy away from social events during this phase, as they are mindful of the way their body looks. This initiative of Bio-Oil on the occasion of Mother’s Day was a welcome change.

Bio-Oil aims to be a facilitator for expecting mothers to shed their inhibitions and celebrate this beautiful phase of motherhood. What better way than flaunting their flawless baby bump skin.

Both Carol and Shveta talked about how they have been using Bio Oil religiously. While Carol has been using it from her 3-4th month, Shveta has been using it from the time she came to she is pregnant.

Also present at the event were celebrity gynaecologist Dr. Kiran Coelho and dermatologist Dr. Rashmi Shetty. Dr Coelho mentioned how using anti-stretch marks oils such as Bio Oil certainly makes a huge difference and women do not have to worry about the post-pregnancy sagging skin and stretch marks, which makes them feel under confident, and they can enjoy their motherhood bliss.

The specialists highlighted various concerns related to health and skincare during pregnancy. They shed light on the ideal time after which mothers may start exercising in order to shed their pregnancy weight as well as recommended tips for improving the skin post-pregnancy. Dr. Rashmi Shetty mentioned how the major worry that every pregnant woman has is, whether the stretch marks are ever going to go. The answer for which is try to minimize stretch marks during pregnancy by regularly applying moisturizers and oils such as Bio Oil, which contain Vitamin E, Lavender, Calendula and Rosemary. She emphasized on the need for mothers to take as much time as they require, post giving birth, to get back to exercising.

Encouraging women to come out of their shell, boosting their morale and making them feel beautiful was the focus of the event. The brand created a platform for expecting mothers, to help them come out of their cocoon and dazzle the ramp. This Mother’s Day, Bio Oil partnered with Yummy Mummies across the country to encourage them to celebrate and enjoy their pregnancy phase rather than shying away from the world.

There were also three winners i.e. the Cutest Bump, Glowing Skin and Yummy Mummy. The Yummy Mummy title was won by Parul.

I loved seeing the happy moms walk the ramp and it was indeed a super cute initiative by Bio Oil.

#LIVAProtege 2015 Finale Fashion Show & Winners

#LIVAProtege 2015 Finale Fashion Show & Winners

Hi guys,

If you follow me on twitter (@bhumika_t) you know I attended the LIVA Protégé Finale Fashion Show on 23rd Dec, 2015. It was at the Palladium Hotel, the same stage where Lakme Fashion Week takes place but a different set up ofcourse.

Also last month in November, I had gone for the Mumbai mentoring session at Shruti Sancheti, the Mumbai mentor’s residence. She went through Diksha and Jasmine, the Mumbai finalists’ designs and gave them some recommendations, etc.

If you remember my #UnboxWithLiva event and my outfit, you know how amazingly soft, comfortable and fluid the LIVA fabric is.

Let me tell you a little more about Liva Protégé: Liva Protégé is not just another hunt for the best fashion designers, but a mission dedicated to the Indian fashion industry.

Powered by Liva – a new-age fabric designed to infuse incredible fluidity into garments, from the house of Birla Cellulose, Liva Protégé aims to tap into the great Indian talent pool and ensure that promising fashion designers in India get their rightful place under the sun, and help India keep shining across the global fashion landscape.

Starting this year, Liva Protégé will be an annual, pan-India hunt for the brightest fashion designers in the country.

The first edition – Liva Protégé 2015 – saw participants create evening wear from Liva fabrics. Innovative designs that have the potential to turn heads, became the flavour of the season, and propelled their creators to fashion stardom.

Liva Protégé 2015 saw 100+ budding designers from 50+ Leading Fashion Design Institutes go through 4 gruelling rounds. 6 different cities. 6 mentors. 12 Finalists.

Mentors were Shruti Sancheti from Mumbai, Sahil Kochhar from Delhi, Soham Dave from Ahmedabad, Agnimitra Paul from Kolkata, Manoviraj Khosla from Bengaluru and Chaitanya Rao from Chennai.

The Finale was judged by Soha Ali Khan, Prasad Naik, Ananya Birla, Narendra Kumar Ahmed and Nandini Bhalla.

I absolutely loved each of the 12 themes and every theme was totally different from the other. From different cities of India to different emotions to different art forms, each participant was given an unique theme and how they designed the outfits based on the theme was commendable! Not only the outfits but everything from the makeup, hair, accessories and shoes to the background, lighting and music matched perfectly to the themes. It was one spectacular show and I can say, one of the best fashion shows I have seen! The show also had a beautiful musical dance performance in between which left us mesmerized!

Every outfit was made with LIVA fabric and it was by and large established as a fashion fabric at LIVA Protégé ’15.

The winners were:

Winners

SAGARIKA JOSHI from Bengaluru  is the 2nd runner up. She was mentored by Manoviraj Khosla, her theme was ‘Taraxacum’, the plant family (also known as ‘Dandelion’)

NITIN GUPTA  from Ahmedabad is the 1st runner up. He was mentored by Soham Dave and his theme was Jaipur- Pink City, Blue Tale. I loved how he combined the Jaipur elements but in a blue theme.

RITURANA DEORI from Ahmedabad is the WINNER of LIVA Protégé 2015. He was also mentored by Soham Dave. His theme was Melancholia.

I wish all the best to all participants and they all were amazing, I know each of these 12 budding designers are going to be huge one day coz the talent was very much visible! The fact that LIVA is giving these budding designers a platform to showcase their talent and a chance to make big, is worthy of appreciation. I am really looking forward to more of #LIVAFluidFashion in LIVA Protégé 2016 now 🙂

Review: Reliance Trends Tarun Tahiliani Collection at LFW W/F 2015

Review: Reliance Trends Tarun Tahiliani Collection at LFW W/F 2015

Hi guys,

I attended the Reliance Trends Tarun Tahiliani show yesterday evening at the Lakme Fashion Week.

Tarun Tahiliani’s “Easy Glamour” collection was an eclectic line of ready-to-wear pieces presented by Reliance Trends at Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2015.

The ramp had a full length mirror on stage and a rack of clothes as the backdrop, a very stylish video featuring the hot Lisa Haydon modelling Tarun’s collection was playing in the background.

Ujjwala Raut opened the show wearing a looped black midi. The collection was predominantly black with some red and other colors popped in between. A lot of tribal prints and stripes were seen with some leheriya print.

Dolman sleeve top, poncho draped skirt, corset dress, lungi dress and many such interesting silhouettes were seen on the ramp.

Asymmetric kurta with leggings, the black dhoti sari and choli, maroon jumpsuit with embroidered printed belt created a perfect Indo – western fusion.

Dramatic borders were used on most pieces in rust, blue and mostly gold. The velvet bustier belts brought whole looks together. Models wore a nose ring through the middle of the nose and super huge round earrings which added to the tribal element.

He also created the ‘jumpsuit-sari’ with the pleats and draped dupatta which looked quite interesting. Peplum quilted gilets, satin draped lungi cowl gowns, saris with velvet obe belts and printed tees with satin dhotis were quite unique. The kedia style blouses, attached capes and caplets were seen in majority of the pieces.

Kalidaar jackets, 3D floral motifs, bright gold embroidery and velvet hemlines took the basic pieces to a whole new level adding glamour to the outfits.

Overall a lot of luxe separates were seen with endless mix and match possibilities.

The super hot Chitrangada Singh  was the perfect showstopper, she wore a black draped gown with a velvet cape which had gold embellishments.

Tarun Tahiliani being the “Czar of Couture” did manage to create a super amazing prét-a-porter/ready-to-wear collection for women! I cannot wait to check out more pieces from the Reliance Trends Tarun Tahiliani collection.

Ellis Faas Dutch Fashion Here And Now India Pictures

Ellis Faas Dutch Fashion Here & Now India Pictures

“Dutch Fashion Here & Now India presents *DIED* & Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna / Suneet Varma & Jan Taminiau”!

* For their collaborative show, *DIED* made graphic designs on the fabric, which Rahul&Rohit then embroidered. So on the faces (evened out with ELLIS FAAS Skin Veil foundation, Concealer and Compact Powder) Ellis also drew black, graphic drawings using the black Creamy Eyes E103. On the lips is nude Milky Lips L209.

* For Rahul&Rohit’s solo collection, Ellis kept the faces quite simple and fresh, in contrast with the graphic collaborative collection. So she just made an even skin with ELLIS FAAS Skin Veil foundation and Concealer, adding black Eyeliner E501 and a nude Milky Lips L209. As an understated special effect, she put Golden glitter over the right side of the face, adding shine on the edges of the models’ faces. *DIED*’s solo was the same, but with a special mix of lipstick that is not in the ELLIS FAAS collection. And the face of their first girl was completely covered in Gold.

* For Jan Taminiau and Suneet Varma, Ellis decided on something with a strong, chic-tribal statement: having evened out with ELLIS FAAS Skin Veil foundation, Concealer and Compact Powder, she shaped the eyes with navy blue Creamy Eyes E113, varying with using it as a stain as well as a fully covering shade. She then shaded with the antique silver Light E301. The nude lip is Milky Lips L209.
