11.11 by CellDSGN believes in celebrating fashion every day. For the sake of it, it introduces its SS’12 collection, featuring new designs and cuts, which match the curves of a woman’s body and echo its fluidity of motion.

The latest collection by the label is all inspired by the liberating art forms like contemporary dance and film, with references ranging from Pina Bausch’s ‘café muller’ to Madeleine Vionnet’s revolutionary vision and Dali & Bunel’s film ‘Un Chein Andalou.’

Fabrics like the softest silk crepes, gossamer cotton silks and luxurious satins in bold color mixes of ice blue and yellow, purple and red and black and white are carefully chosen to further promote the potential for expression and motion, integrating comfort and movement, so the garments appear to float freely around the body rather than distort or mold its shape.


A glittering soiree hosted by designer Shibani Malhotra recently marked the launch of her flagship store at The Gallery on MG Road, New Delhi.

Spread over 500 sq. feet the store has a traditional feel with clean and contemporary lines. A regal chandelier offsets the matt wooden floors and the mannequins display the eclectic collection by the designer ranging from chic Western wear to finely embellished saris to evening wear.

Speaking on the occasion, Shibani said, “To have my very own flagship store has been my dream project. Fashion to me is about confidence and sensuality. I like designing for women who are at ease with their bodies and like to fuse comfort with style.”



The store launch was attended by Dia Mirza, Sahil Sangha, Zoya Akhtar, Rohit Gandhi, Rahul Khanna, Nikhil and Vidushi Mehra, JJ Valaya, Mandira Nath, Tanisha Mohan, Aparna Chandra, Vikram Baidyanath, Pushpanjali Sharma, Cheena Wig, Bharti Bhalla, Anita Bhattal, Amu Saidi, Alpana Gujral, Payal Kapoor, Leena Singh, Gauri and Atul Vohra, Anita Bajaj, Taruna Sharma, Mini Shashtri, Shonali Mathur, Shona Taneja, Karishma and Sandeep Jalani, amongst others.
 

The Gitanjali Group, one of the renowned diamond jewellery manufacturers of the country goes innovatively shoppers friendly this festive season with the launch of a unique Gold & Diamond ATM Machine, one stop shop for buying medallions, coins, religious motifs, pendants and jewellery.  

The first of its kind in the world, the ATM was lately inaugurated by Bollywood actor Raima Sen at Phoenix High Street in Lower Parel, Mumbai. Designed like an ATM, the machine dispenses gold and silver bars coins, pendants with religious motifs, as well as a range of diamond studded jewellery.

A part of the larger ‘Go for Gold’ umbrella branding created by Gitanjali to promote the purchase of gold, the ATM will give the consumer a mix of up to 36 options in different sizes, price points and designs to choose from across these categories. The options will be displayed on the touch screen and the payment could be made using either plastic cards or by depositing cash. . The prices will range from Rs 1,000 to Rs 30,000.

Sanjeev Agarwal, CEO, Gitanjali Export Corporation Ltd. says, “The machine is a first of its kind anywhere in the world and will further revolutionize the processes by which precious metals and jewellery is bought. It has a particular significance in India, where usually such items are purchased as tokens to observe traditions on auspicious days. But it also offers choices for occasions like Valentine’s Day, or to a husband who forgot an anniversary or his wife’s birthday!”

In the coming months, Gitanjali plans to expand the network of these ATMs in places with high consumer footfalls such as premium malls and airports to provide visitors with a range of last minute purchase choices for gifting and other needs.
