A designer line for the pregnant
New Delhi:
Mothers-to-be walked down the ramp here Saturday to unveil
a new fashion-wear line especially meant for pregnant women.
Three designers under the aegis of '9-Months' presented the
stylist clothes. Aparna Jain, the Chief Executive Officer
of '9-Months', said the objective behind the new range is
to provide mothers-to-be with brighter and stylish clothing
that not only complements their shape but also makes them
look glamorous and sexy. These clothes are also meant to provide
workingwomen with a smarter and more official alternative.
"What's available in the market is mostly nighty-like or they
wear oversized clothes that are very boxy. We wanted to break
this barrier, we want women to look beautiful, we want women
to look glamorous, we want women to look sexy when they are
pregnant," said Jain. This new line of apparel has come as
a huge relief for many mommies in the national capital, who
have an eye for trendy and fashionable clothing. "It's fantastic,"
said Melissa Sood, five months pregnant with her second baby,
who was present on the occasion, and added: "I remember with
my first child I went shopping and I couldn't find anything
but large clothes, casual clothes, nothing to wear out in
the evening." Now Sood can bank on the new designer line that
would present her in a much better way. Neha Chandiok, another
expectant mother, was overjoyed at not having to look sloppy
in oversized clothes "Very nice, very flattering clothes.
That's something very important... to feel good especially
when you're pregnant," she said. The fashion show showcased
a range of casual and evening wear for working mothers-to-be
as well as for stay-at-home mums in bright colours and stretchable
fabrics. The clothes blended comfort with style, using empire
waists, wraps and bellybands to enable the tummy to expand
comfortably within the folds of the outfit.

Woman hair stylist scores over fast male
counterparts
Bhopal: Hair
stylist Kanat Sood has done 500 haircuts in 12 hours to beat
the record of some quick cutters in the city. She said, "I
wanted to do something unique. Many barbers in Bhopal are
famous for their speed and accuracy. I thought to set up new
yardsticks in the field of women's hair cutting." Kanta has
mastered different styles of haircut - as razor-cut, diamond,
step, blunt, layered and many others. "This is special because
she is cutting so fast and that too with so much perfection,"
said Shivani, a customer. No wonder in response to her 12-hour
marathon 'free service', women of all age groups made a beeline
to Kanta's parlour. "One can easily see her perfection in
one minute, particularly a new comer as we regularly get hair
cut from her," said Parul Yadav, another customer. Kanta's
hair styling charges range from 70 to 500 rupees depending
on the style.
