Turban + Menswear: Will we see it on the streets?

I usually don't cover menswear but it was hard to escape Jean Paul Gaultier's latest SS2013 collection. The Indian-inspired collection made me think: would men (in particular non-Indians) wear Turbans as a fashion item? I, personally, would love to see it but it's going to take some rather metro, fashion-forward trendsetters (in NYC perhaps?) to set this off on the streets.  Then again, if men dress for women then we might be seeing it soon because the Turban is looking rather sexy.

Chanel Pre-Fall 2012 featured Turbans for men.

BBA Pics: Couture Or Crazy??

I found this while looking for inspiration online and I believe its Jean Paul Gaultier (which explains it a little bit) but I want to know what you think... is it acceptable in the name of Couture or is it just plain silly?

Sonam Kapoor at Paris Couture Week 2012

Our picks for Paris Couture Week will be coming soon but in the meantime, Sonam Kapoor attended two shows and we wanted to recap on her style/looks from these two Fashion Houses.

Elie Saab

While I would have preferred if Sonam wore something from the designer, I love that she chose a saree for the red carpet. I do think sarees could be the next big fashion item, as I mentioned in my blog post for Vogue India.  She looks like cinderella-meets-cotton candy! Divine! The saree is by Deepti Pruthi. Below are some of her previous looks from Elie Saab.

Jean Paul Gaultier

Sonam chose a soft blue suit, which happens to be the color of the moment at Paris Couture Week thanks to Chanel. And while I know critics will wish she left the brown trench, propped on her shoulders, at home; it adds a 1940-1950s sensibility that reminds me of World War 2 and fashion trends at that time. The hair and red lippy all add to the sex appeal (think Mae West). Nothing sexier than classic swagger!
