Modern Men Redefining Style!!!

You think being trendy and stylish is women’s domain, forget it, modern men are out there to redefine style. Lately I was at L’Oreal launch in Karachi, I saw men in casual to formal and trendy dresses, but what really amused me was “Men’s Jewelry”. Amin Guljee is one of the biggest names when it comes to jewelry design both for women and men, I still remember our interactions at SPA and his creative men’s jewelry designs always made me envy. Lately I was in Malaysia, I got to see, designers are devoting more time, attention and store space when it comes to Men’s Jewelry. I came across Men’s trend magazine, It says “men are showing desire to want to show their identity and they are at ease and confident enough to complement a watch with a bracelet, necklace or ring. I always loved sporty stuff, Columbia sportswear watch has always been my favorite, thin lined leather necklace with rustic jewelry is too boyish, I never go for it. I find Japanese businessmen wearing stainless steel, black diamonds or titanium rings. I would rather say these rings are common among younger men with an urban taste. Athletes have always been trendsetter in men’s jewelry but trendy stuff is getting into urban men. Let us see, what come ahead for modern men!!!

Pakistan Fashion Week Goes Bolder!! We are Not Extremists!!

Whenever I talk to any of my friends in US, they think Pakistan is a place dominated by Taliban & their supporters. General perception is that women are forced to stay back home and streets are full of extremists with long beards and weapons. No way, it is not our Pakistan, there may be small tribal areas one may find such pictures but when it comes to Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad, we are moderate as well as modern in our outlook towards life. Lately Pakistan Fashion Week kick starts in my city Karachi, it was postponed, venue was changed, amidst threats from minority extremists but the show goes on. Karachi defies extremism and says no to barbaric minority " unfortunately its known fact that some elements in Pak security institutions do back such elements to maximize so called strategic gains, but Pakistani majority does not support all." Karachi shows the true image of the people of Pakistan. Hope western media depicts the other side of the coin where majority belong i.e., moderate and modern Pakistani society

What ???? Odourless Underpants ! Gr8 Service to Humanity ;-)

I was scanning today's Daily Times, was surprised to see the news title "Odourless Underpants" Subtle Butt, a disposable gas neutralizer has all the answers..........
News report says "A US company has performed a great service to humanity by inventing an underwear fabric that absorbs all smells. The material is inserted into a pair of pants with two self-adhesive strips and traps any pongs or whiffs.
The ‘gas neutralisers’ are made from carbon fabric that has undergone activated carbon anti-microbial treatment. Called Subtle Butt, they sell in five-packs for about £5. They were invented by a company called Garment Guard which already sells disposable cotton underarm inserts which absorb perspiration to prevent embarrassing wet marks.
The company blurb says: From the brilliant minds at Garment Guard comes our newest product, Subtle Butt. This pack of 5 saving graces effectively filters the odour caused by flatulence. Simply stick it in the right place and you’re ready for a chilli cook-off.
However, the fabric, called Subtle Butt, does not silence noises - so does not signal the end of embarrassing flatulence :P

Manish Malholtra; Cool & Creative

It was last Kara Film Festival, Manish came along with Indian directors “Mahesh Bhatt” , Urmila & gorgeous Shilpa for private fashion show. In the evening I randomly met him in my favorite place ‘Jacuzzi’ in a local hotel, it was an awesome fashion talk, I did not know much about his creation but once he shared his fashion thoughts it was awesome.

Guy has moved so far that he is the ultimate dress designer for Bollywood, I loved to see his handkerchief design, and I saw Farah Khan wearing that. Even Kareena looks gorgeous in Manish’s black creation.

Wish he goes on the top.

Dude You Are A Brand Freak ...

Ohhhhhhhh GOD, these guys over here have made me the brand freak ....the reason they cite is the KARACHI influence ...ufff most of the time talking about my Accessories, the Rugged Sandy Bag, NIKE Beach Shoe, Rough Signature Jeans.....

Apart from that we had nice discussion on the role of brand and dress in non verbal communication....we came up with thoughts that brands associates with personality traits....it reminded me of one of the presentation i delivered on Brand at PIA training center along with my friend......
My motto has always been Brand New Clothes for Brand New Life..........

But there was another question raised by guys..... do girls like it when guys wear branded clothes or normal stuff ?????
I think apart from brand, it matters what looks good......but still brand ;-) does make a difference.....

I have started falling in love....come on .....No Girlssssss plzzzzzz......for accessories...more i collect more i get satisfaction.......

I won't mind if my LUMS friends call me brand freak :-) as long as i am happy to wear what i like...
