Pictured above:Sagar Ahuja

Today I profile my interview with India Based Makeup Artist and hairstylist to the celebs Sagar Ahuja who's making waves in the Film and Fashion industry.

Sagar in action

The very cute Sagar Ahuja who's based in Delhi, but now working in Mumbai
Loves his work. Since his childhood Sagar loved drawing and making sketches, after school he was to pursue a career in engineering,but his mum, who is a  beautician inspired him to become a makeup artist. Entering the industry wasn't easy for this makeup artist as many told him to leave as he wouldn't make it. Through perseverance and his mum being by his side, he is now one of the leading MUA and Hairstylist in India.

Sagar with models

Having worked with Bollywood celebs like Celina Jaitley,Kalki, Mona Singh, Sudeepa Singh,Zaheer Khan(cricketer) and many, many models, his advice for other aspiring MUA would be to keep on pursuing and never give up.He emphasizes that hygiene is really important,updating of kits from time to time and always sanitize before doing makeup. He also believes MUA should share their knowledge,passion and experience.

Sagar"s model work

Sagar says that makeup trends for 2012 include nude colours, but if you like bright colours then orange,burgundy,pink and red lips is the way to go.When I asked Sagar if he would ever like to visit SA, he said that he has never been,but would love to come if an opportunity arises.

MAGAZINES AND EDITORIALS

When asked what he loves most about his job,he says that he loves when his work is appreciated and loves to make people look and feel great. Sagar hopes and aspires to be a widely recognised MUA. He would also like to cater for the poor by opening up his own studio and offering free courses.

Feature: Boys and their Toys.......

We all know how boys cannot be seperated from their toys..... but in this case shall I say girls and their toys???

Today I preview  Mercedes Benz C63 AMG owner Keshni Chetty who's need for speed and fashionable cars puts her among the Hip and The Fashion Elite.

Pictured above-Keshni with some of her rides

The 6.2 litre C63 with its V8 aspirated motor is able to compete with the best in the country. From a young age , instead of playing with dolls, her interest in carbon fibred systems, aerodynamics, and drag racing grew. The mother of a 5yr old maintains a balance between being a full time working class mum and  her need for speed.

Her favourite car at the moment has to be the C63 AMG because of its added luxuries, power and modifications to its exhaust, filters,pulleys and software. This Stunning C63 with its 482hp, 585nm Torque and 351kw (power output-wheels) boasts a speed of 12secs flat without diff ratio change over a quarter mile.

Keshni's dream car however has to be the Bugatti Veyron 16.4.

                                       

                                  

I was lucky enough to get a test spin with this stunning ride. Wearing a green dress and sexy black heels, you would think you're on the track of a F1 Grand Prix as she takes off with that sound of its roaring engine. 

This hot mum is definitely a force to be reckoned with on the racetrack!!!!

Menswear- Winter Fashion 2012/2013 (Giorgio Armani)

OK! So its Tuesday and I just cannot wait for the weekend. As I am sitting in front of my pc, I decided nothing would put a smile to my face more than Gorgeous Men and Gorgeous Clothes. What more can a girl ask for,Ryt?. That spells Milan Fashion Week!!! Yes People! Only the Hottest and Sexiest fashion show in the World.

 GIORGIO ARMANI , one of the most respected designers in the fashion industry, didn't fail to impress as he presented the EMPORIO ARMANI Menswear 2012/2013 Winter collections. EMPORIO ARMANI, aimed at young professionals was nothing short of being sophisticated and sleek. As gorgeous,slender looking models took to the catwalk,everyone waited with baited breath to see what this luxury collection entailed.

Typical Winter theme styles such as sweaters,corduroy,bright knits with colors of blue, black,purple and grey were the order of the day.Not forgetting, the fine cut,lines and tailoring of suits and coats.Accessories included leather bags,gloves and scarves.

The GIORGIO ARMANI BRAND remains to be the forefront of THE FASHION ELITE SOCIETY.

Fashion Quote Of the Day

"Fashion is architecture, it is a matter of proportions" -Coco Chanel

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week- Johannesburg

This past weekend was a busy one in the world of fashion as the City of Gold played host to the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. Fashion lovers,celebs and SA's hottest Socialites took their seats as local designers showcased their talents on the ramp. Designers included the very talented Gavin Rajah, David Tlale and Thula Sindi amongst others.I wish I was in Jozie to have been part of the glitz, glamour and The Fashion Elite.

Opening: ZARA - Gateway

I was extremely thrilled when International Fashion House ZARA opened its doors to the public in my home city of Durban earlier this month. The store located in Gateway is the 2nd store to open after a very successful launch in the upmarket suburb of Sandton, in November 2011.

ZARA, A Spanish Label is well known for its very chic and stylish clothing. Their designers are able to incorporate style and trends from International catwalks into their clothing ranges. I have always been a fan of Zara as many of my favorite stylists are always seen sporting Zara clothing.

On my recent visit to the concept store with my mum and sister, it was filled with a hub of activity, with many shoppers splurging on high end fashion items while others paying special attention to detail. Depending on your budget some clothing items may be seen as expensive to the customer.

I look forward to what ZARA has to offer with their extensive ranges of mens, women and kids clothing.
As with every collection there is always something new and trendy must have items. Drop me an e-mail and let me know what you think of the concept store, I look forward to hearing from you.

FEATURED CELEBRITY:HAIFA WEHBE-LEBANESE POP SUPERSTAR

                                                       

Lebanese born singer, actress and model Haifa Wehbe remains to be one of my favourite middle eastern celebrities.. Not only is Haifa known for her singing, her glamourous looks, sexy and controversial image makes her one of the Arab Worlds most sought after celebs.

Haifa Wehbe rose to fame after she was a runner up for Miss Lebanon and later through her debut music album. In 2006, she was in People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful List.

The International Fashion Diva and singing sensation has also been a fashion inspiration to girls around the world. Her Arabic Inspired makeup looks have been copied by many makeup artists and women worldwide.

If you would like more style inspiration, visit her at http://www.haifawehbe.com/ or follow her on twitter @haifa wehbe. Watch THIS SPACE for an upcoming tutorial on HAIFA INSPIRED MAKEUP LOOKS!!
