Fashion and Entertainment

11th December 2013: "We get men above 35 years of age who want to be fitter, but the awareness level is very low. Studies show that Indians need to exercise seven times more in a week than their global counterparts to be at par with them. So, at present, brands are adapting themselves to different Indian sizes and shapes, rather than shoppers working on their bodies," says Vikram Bhatia, managing director of Fitness First gyms.

Kindly let me share a discussion that I've recently had with Mr. Toni Sharma who's an Assistant Professor at the National Institute of Fashion Technology, Patna. We had the discussion on the F.OX group https://www.facebook.com/groups/fox.nift launched by the Students of NIFT Patna. Mr. Sharma has been very kind to mention on the group that "Shakti Saran .....by far you are the most valuable contributor to this group. Thanks a zillion for all the knowledge that you have shared with our members!!!"

Our discussion on it:

Toni Sharma edited a doc.

Students of NIFT Patna launched F.OX, the first ever online fashion quiz in October 2011. It is dedicated to all those students who are aspiring to pursue such careers which are intrinsically creative and artistic in nature. Those students who are aspiring to join NIFT/NID can interact with current NIFT/NID students and get useful inputs in terms of what areas to focus on and how to prepare for the exam and situation test. The F.OX community was launched on Facebook on 26th of September and it was formally inaugurated by Actress Neetu Chandra on 4th of October’11. Since then this group has already crossed a membership of 6600! The members are mostly NIFT and NID students/alumni. It also includes such individuals who are employed in fashion industry. F.OX is a community where people freely interact, discuss various aspects of fashion. Here, anyone and everyone can participate in the quiz to find out their true fashion quotient.
Come…….join us at www.facebook.com/groups/fox.nift !!!

Shakti Saran I look forward to connecting, sharing, and collaborating with people studying/working in fashion or entertainment. I've started www.healthfitnessindia.com also to pursue my interests in them. Best! Shakti Saran

Toni Sharma Shakti Saran .....by far you are the most valuable contributor to this group. Thanks a zillion for all the knowledge that you have shared with our members!!!

Shakti Saran Hi Toni Sharma, Thank You for your kind response! It's nice that earlier this evening, a gentleman who I highly respect wrote on my card that "Shakti is a vibrant spirit in the cosmos" along with his signature and that now I read your kind response. Last night, I saw someone asking Metro passengers about a Metro stop, however, it seemed to me that it wasn't clear to him what the people had responded to him because the people hadn't spoken clearly to him. So I told him about the stop and that he thanked me because he wasn't clear like I had thought. We spoke for a while after that and that he even thought that I knew him from before because of how I was talking to him. He works for a nice furniture company and that has worked on the chairs that have been used in Big Boss. He spoke to me on several things including about this business in general, about the opportunities that he has had, and other things. I look forward to staying in touch with him and that as I do business consulting related to the Health and Fitness India network, I would also try to get him work like to get furniture designed and made for gyms, fitness centers and others. I wish that I can keep contributing to this group and that perhaps also meet people with whom I can do even more. I'm interested in fashion and entertainment as I've mentioned above and that I would also pursue my interests in them through the Health and Fitness India network. If you like then you're welcome to it and that I wish that it would be of value to you in many ways. I would be sharing this discussion of ours as a blog post on the network. Best, Shakti Saran

  • Nice! Met a girl once again after some months who told me that she had topped NIFT all centers previous year in her 2nd year! I've shared with her about F.Ox. group https://www.facebook.com/groups/fox.nift/ and also about my new venture www.customgiftsindia.com I wish that she would share online from her knowledge and experience also for the benefit of others.

    Today I thought of going to the apartment's gym after some months and that's where I met her! Yesterday I had written about a person who I had met at my apartment's gym some months ago whose son has been having some career issues due to his current company. When I left my place for gym and took out my phone to call him, he had just called me but I had missed his call because my phone was on silent. I called him and told him that he has a long life and also met him regarding his son's issue and that he might also contribute with IT hardware, solutions and web design sales for my work including at colleges which would be nice! I wish them best! Also, if anyone's looking for IT sales work on commission basis then please share with me.

    Muneer Ahmed try observing fashion magazine covers for font , pink and blue represent male and female ,, just a thought

    Shakti Saran Thank You for liking Suleman! Thank You for inputs Muneer! Perhaps you reversed pink and blue for the general case :) Some years ago, I had thought that I had made a mistake wearing a pink shirt to a friend's wedding. I was told to ask someone for a jacket but I didn't. Perhaps it was the color or the shirt quality or that I wasn't wearing a suit but only pant and shirt or a combination of those possible issues. At least since then I've seen fashion including online that men are also wearing pink :) Moreover, I'm now also working related to fashion!!! Thanks again for your inputs :)

  • On the marketing front, Shah says, “We are coming up with innovative offers and executing new store launches. We are also tying up with college fests. With the introduction of new, eccentric and inventive styles that infuse ground breaking trends there has been a significant change in demand. For instance, teaming up a pair of denims with a formal shirt launches Pepe Jeans in the work wear category of attires as well."

  • I read someone's comment on a person's photo: "NAME mam , aap pehle si inni khubrat thi ya Italy ki hawa ne kiya koi hassen sitam ." I wish that we'll get better and better beauty products in India. Best!

  • Celebs like Eva Longoria, Emma Watson, Nicole Kidman, Cheryl Cole, Jessica Biel and Hilary Swank, Deepika Padukone, Kangana Ranauat, Alia Bhatt were seen baring their backs in beautiful gowns at various festival and film premieres. The trend has caught up so much so that the traditional wear also comprises of backless cholis and blouses.

    It is said that a woman’s looks and how she feels says a lot about her personality and confidence. A woman’s confidence is a very attractive thing in a woman. And women these days are confident enough to go backless. However, the inhibitions of showing the tanned, sun damage back has restricted them going backless.

    To realize the dreams of many a woman, NIVEA has launched a ‘Whitening Cell Repair Lotion’ which will help to hide all skin damage, sun tanning. The new campaign ‘Go Backless’ encourages women to feel powerful and encourages them to upload their backless pictures on their website www.flauntyourback.com. The contender with the most votes gets a chance to meet Anushka Sharma, face of NIVEA’s Go Backless campaign

  • The advice I can give to young designers is the following one: “If you do this job for the glitz and glamour, do not do it. But if you do it because you are passionate about it, in a trance when you create templates then, then yes. It’s a tough job where there is no privacy. You should be well surrounded, with trusted people, especially for finance — but also people working in the same world as you and who can understand you.” http://fashiontographer.com/eric-tibusch-ss13-c/

  • “It’s specially the Indian belly -- that is the issue and that’s why we have started this made-to-measure service,” said Dewan. “We were losing customers because of this and since we started this service, we’re able to cater to these clients.” 

    South Asians have a greater propensity to store fat around the waist, according to a review published in the International Journal of Obesity in February 2011. That means obese Indians tend to have a “disproportionately large” belly that makes tailoring essential, said Shivank Aggarwal, head of marketing at Shiva International Apparels, which runs a chain selling plus-sized clothing.
