Casa Paradox the luxury domicile brought in the eternal bequest of Satish Gujral in its abode on the arrival of the New Year. An astonishing and unique concept of art imagined by Gujral who is worldwide accredited for his diverse creativity was exhibited by the luxury destination. A fuse of the traditional with contemporary exemplifies the painters portrayals depicted on the canvas.  

The art on the canvas by Satish showcased at casa paradox epitomizes wonderfully created Series of Paintings depicting Cricket. A vivacious amalgamation of ideas and colors take the paintings to some other untouched echelon. The paintings add a complete modish and chic look to the interiors. This excelled contribution by the painter confers on an inimitable self to the range of collections at Casa Paradox.

Every other time you flip a glossy page of a glamorous magazine, or drive past a glaring billboard there is a vixen, dressed de rigueur with a skin flash enough ( considering along her self-absorbed air brushed gestures and backdrop) to make you go all week in your knees, head, pancreas or whatever. Well, where few lose it to their hormones, few to their self-esteem a campaign surreptitiously serves its purpose and sparks the desires on fire.

In modern times where marketing precedes talent, a fantasy churning ad campaign is as much a cachet of a luxury house as its coveted artifacts. Thus, we get to see a deluge of such glamorous campaigns shot by the fantasists (we mean, Karl Lagerfeld here) with insane themes on the exotic locales featuring a bunch of catwalk queens. However, where hundreds of such visual delights feature every season, only few of them stir that irresistible desire laden wave which make us stare at them for hours, or for days in some cases. And those few here make it to our hard-to-take-the-eyes-off fashion ad campaigns of 2011 list.

The year which saw many interesting fashion stories folding unfolding, remained eclectic when it comes to models and themes. From old masters like 43-year-old Tamara Mellon seducing her way for Jimmy Choo fragrance to 17 years old Lindsey Wixson starring in Mulberry, to androgynous model Andrej Pejic kissing Karolina Kurkova in Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring Summer 2011, the campaigns stood for unmitigated fashion and it’s no-lines-drawn approach when it comes to age, sexuality and creativity.

In the mid of the year when model-turned-actor Rosie Huntington Whiteley posed semi-nude, lying on a floor in a Burberry trench for Burberry Body, the world stopped, sighed and took notice of the Transformer III actress. Similarly, quite a shocker was the Chanel’s Autumn Winter 2011 campaign, shot by Karl Lagerfeld himself while styling was done by Carine Roitfeld, featuring one of the Karl’s muse Freja Beha Erichsen dressed up all in black as a cat sitting in a photo studio.

While Gucci’s Autumn Winter 2011 noir carnival exuded a mélange of colors with models like Abbey Lee Kershaw pouting her lips in Gucci gowns, supermodel Gisele Bundchen starred in Balenciaga’s Spring Summer 2011 like a specter in the woods. Moreover, the retro vibe was quite prevalent off the ramp either this year. Dior’s Spring Summer 2011 featured Karlie Kloss with 50s curls like a Marilyn Monroe with a twist.

Roberto Cavalli’s Fall Winter 2011 popped up with Natasha Polly along with two other nymphs in fantastical orchards holding the leash of a horse. Whereas January Jones stripped down for Versace Accessories Spring Summer 2011 campaign wearing nothing except label’s accessories under brilliant light and shadow effect, making it one of the most sensual fashion ad campaign of 2011.
