Hair Fashion Show 2012
After the announcement of Shoe Fashion Week at the upcoming New York Fashion Week, there came Hair Fashion Show 2012 in Sao Paulo recently – giving a platform to the best of the hairstylists of the country.
Presented in a fully renovated format, the event focused on the relationship of trust and friendship between the hairdressers and their clients. The show featured the various styles by four major hairstylists in Brazil; Celso Kamura, Julio Crepaldi, Mario Silva and Wanderley Nunes.
The parades of the Hair Fashion Show 2012 sought inspiration from the trends shown by the Trend Vision, Wella study done by professionals. The catwalks offered major innovations in cutting and coloring, based on themes – Blaze, Grace, Celeste and Roxy.
The first trend presented was Roxy by Celso Kamura, who portrayed the styles of 70s and 80s with plenty of shine and color. The strong tones of purple, yellow and pink co-existed with bangs and volume.
The trend Celeste followed next, and it was Julio Crepaldi who interpreted it through futuristic hair and different head shapes. The presence of blond, strong tones of silver and use of technology defined the trend.
The third show was created by hairstylist Mario Silva who played with shades of blond and natural sand to interpret the trend Grace. The color that dominated the catwalks was the yellow gold which brought a touch of glamour to the show.
The last of the lot, Blaze was presented by Wanderley Nunes revolving around tango and sensuality of Latin women. The ramp witnessed the glitter of brown locks.

An ode to the mystical and charming beauty of a woman the collection boats of rich fabrics like zari georgette, brocade, velvet and silk – enhancing the essence of mysticism. The use of minimalistic embroidery, along with sequin work and zardosi render a subtle glamorous look to the collection. The value addition comes in the form of fabric intercuts and color placements.
The color palette is mainly comprised of the hues of beige, black, pink and white with accents of gold and silver.

Flavors of Mughals
Well, my personal fables (sans imaginary audience) came to life as I travelled through the maze of pillared lanes (though so square they were) to be in the arched world of Flavors of Mughals. Though the bit crammed settings short-changed the ideal idea of Mughal grandeur but somehow the ensuing authenticity of flavors made up for it.
The stairs lead three of us; a pretty mellifluous host with a bad throat and a bit whimsical management trainee with a bad appetite, who accompanied me, to the comfort of black and golden cushioned miss en scene with baroque ceiling and dangling antique chandeliers. However, the music for first half an hour gyrated around typical 90s Bollywood numbers but later while we gazed at the black- and- white trite images of Mughal era sitting insipid on the menu, it mellowed to Sufi beats for much of our ease.
The ongoing Kebab festival at the restaurant came as a savory surprise as the Chef Bishn rolled out some really scrumptious kebabs – one of them was the Donali kebab, made of two layers of chicken and mutton, and complemented by Bacardi based Double Apple Cinnamon Mojito. Meanwhile, the vegetable special platter comprising of Kesari Gobi and Mushrooms only whetted our appetite with a round of a Vodka-based tangy spicy Comfortable Screw.
So, as we kept eating with our eyes over natters ranging from a loftily courteous mustached butler roaming around to some fashion bickering, the stodgy main course made an entry with a mesmerizing aroma of Mughlai buffet. From perfectly spiced up Green Chili and Red Pepper Rotis to tad sweet Butter Chicken, spicy Mutton Nihari, Biryani with no redundant garnishing and thick Daal simmered for more than 12 hours in an open cauldron, the whole affair left us delectably bloated.
Finally, the desserts came in the form of subtly flavored Phirni, to only be followed by Paan with a clove stick, served in a dainty silvery artifact, exuding an interesting mix of flavours of Mughals which come with a tadka of contemporariness.
