Chinese whispers
With its Mandarin collar and Chinese knot buttons, the Suki dress by De La Vali is a modern take on the traditional Cheongsam. The golden yellow colour contrasted with the black detailing, and the form fitting silhouette, make it an elegant yet sexy number. Rs. 31,421 approximately
Into the night
The quintessentially New York brand, Orseund Iris’s Night Out blouse does what it says on the tin. Best for an evening out, the navy satin piece has a ruched waist and billowing sleeves. The flirty open back and a self tie-up detail make it perfect for date night. Rs. 55,053 approximately
Fine print
This pair of sandals, Sandale du Desert by Christian Louboutin, is a complete show stealer. The elegant stilettos are made with crepe satin scarves that have a collage depicting the designer’s life through photos and sketches. Rs 64,144 approximately
Comic sans
This Dolce & Gabbana satin skirt is a take on vintage comics. Detailed with a mesh lining, pockets with zippers and a ribbed waist, this fun skirt is practical as well as stylish. Rs. 43,282 approximately
Wild card
To add some edge to your look, slip into this leopard print satin top by Self Portrait. Designer Han Chong’s casual yet alluring design sensibilities are captured in this asymmetric top which also has delicate lace detailing. Pair with cigarette pants and gold accessories, we say. Rs. 20,802 approximately
Cargo crew
Cargo pants needn’t always be scruffy. Case in point: these 3.1 Phillip Lim fold-over pants. The gray-green satin, the asymmetric waist with the tapered and cuffed legs, make it uber chic. The pants are best worn with strappy heels. Rs. 42,642 approximately
On the hunt
The Oval Trunk shoulder bag is from designer Danielle Corona’s brand Hunting Season. The deep teal bag is made with rich satin and comes with a black rope strap with tassels. Rs. 56,607 approximately
