TONI & GUY star-studded Launch

The premier British hair-styling brand TONI & GUY made an incredibly stylish entry into the Indian market with a star-studded launch brought to life by Celebrity stylist Mark Hampton, Ace designer Manish Arora . Strutting the Hair-Meets-Wardrobe philosophy were the Indian Divas - Malaika Arora Khan, Soha Ali Khan & Anusha Dandekar. Shiamak Dawar's dance troupe set the stage on fire and the evening saw the most scintillating dance moves!

Press Conference was followed by a Performance by Shiamak Dawar's troupe & the 3 Divas

Attended by the who's who of the fashion & film fraternity these are
My 5 favorite highlights from the Launch:

1. TONI & GUY: I so look forward to trying the TONI &GUY products especially because it has been a trend setter in 16 fashion week seasons so far! This British hair-styling brand marks 50 years of its successful existence this year. It is the official sponsor of London Fashion Week over the last 8 years.For your information- The TONI &GUY salons were founded by brothers, Toni and Guy Mascolo, who opened their first salon in Clapham, South London in 1963.

2. Manish Arora : A favorite on the Global fashion scene and a favorite of Pop music divas like Katy Perry, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Fergie, etc. Manish is one designer whose collections can be spotted from anywhere. Quirky, Blasted with happy colors, dramatic silhouettes , a blissful marriage between Indian and western elements and there you have a Manish Arora. This man has the humility you don't find often. RESPECT!

4. Shiamak Dawar's troupe: The lead dancer from Shiamak Dawar's troupe Aneesha Dalal was a treat to watch. I wish i was even half as good as her ( ....puts on her dancing shoes & shrugs) 3 performances with show-stoppers Malaika , Soha and Anusha and a surreal backdrop screen that changed with every song. The creative genius of Shiamak was witnessed by me for the first time! I must join him! Here are some snippets of the performances specially for you!

The Grand Finale performance with Malaika,Soha & Anusha

Happy Ending!

5.Desserts : Forget all the amazing finger food and Mediterranean -inspired main course I downed with my Virgin Mojitos. The desserts created by Taj Lands End pâtissier were not just visual delights but gastronomic too. Let the pictures do the talking!
