Shoe Porn: edition 2.0

Waiting for the lovely Ritika to show up (traffic, they all say), the patient artiste Kunal took these shots that have only aggravated an acute case of shoe lust. Giuseppe Zanotti and me shooting the breeze inside multi-designer store Muse… Only a giant slice of Oreo cheesecake could have made this better.

Lakmé Fashion Week teasers are spilling out of the closet. Turns out shoemakers Tresmode, one of the official sponsors, will match their footwear with runway designs, including Anand Kabra’s deviously stunning creations. The best part - The shoes will be officially launched in stores as part of their resort line. Book your stiletto now…

Doesn’t the brown one look suspiciously like a particular Gucci Spring/summer 2009 heel popular with the Bollywood brigade…

From bashing celeb dressing choices to finally doing something constructive for a change. Day after day, we will play with that classic black dress or a so-haute pair of trousers and give you styling options that could come from your own wardrobe. Preppy, chic, punk or corporate, it’s a fashion democracy here. An online style guide, an excuse to play dress up with clothes you might actually be able to afford. It’s a work in progress and hopefully we’ll make sense.
