To Be or Not To Be...

Sometimes, there are things you do for love. Those are things which you have no control over and you expect nothing in return. In the world of fashion too, one does similar things, for example you could walk the runway for someone out of love or sit in the front row or be backstage for moral support or just be there with a glass of Jack Daniels on the rocks in times of crisis. Recently, I too did something out of love. Sat through a torturous journey of clothes, worse through the hugely sad turn of events. The occasion you ask?  Designer Sanjana Jon's show.

 

I share my personal relationships of mutual admiration with a whole bunch of people, some of them are actors, directors, models, designers, artists and so on. One of them is the Diva Sushmita Sen. She was on the runway and I had to see her, more so because  I wanted to see the oodles of weight she's lost recently - of which I was being told constantly.

 

So, there I am waiting for the show and suddenly its the 3rd Degree! Hideous outfits bought from Lajpat Nagar reared their ugly head and took me by surprise. No sense of aesthetics or even a basic understanding of what is a collection was the obvious statement of the day. And more so, the celebs werent spared even.

 Then I heard the real Truth. The only reason Sanjana did  the show was because of a main sponsor, she bypassed the 'Jury' for selection because of the money shown. And then just bought clothes from wherever she could. If there were any celebs who looked even half worth their salt was because they were wearing clothes from their 'OWN WARDROBE'.

Well Sanjana surely gave the phrase Do It Yourself a whole new meaning.
