New Shades
Of Ramayana
Pixar artist Sanjay Patel retells the ancient Indian tale with lush, whimsical graphics. Divine!
 A cobalt blue Rama poised to shoot his arrow at an intricately patterned Ravana; a gorgeously geometric Sita embellishing her hair; forests full of mutli-coloured deities, brilliant bursts of angular armies, demons being devoured by hungry orange flames: Supervising animator and storyboard artist at Pixar Animation, Sanjay Patel’s latest graphic novel Ramayana: Divine Loophole, is truly worship-worthy.

Go Figure:
Mannequins
Chanel copies hang on racks and six busy tailors sit in the back at Bandra's newest fashion store.
 Fray’s Anatomy
There’s a lot of unnecessary fat that can be trimmed off Mannequins, Khar’s newest fashion store. Ubiquitous Bangkok lycra tops for instance, or loud Indian outfits. And we suppose no one would miss the generic patent leather heels either. Actually, if it weren’t for the cute ground floor space with the red brick walls we spied while driving by, we wouldn’t have stopped by at this week-old store at all. Lucky we did. Copy That Don’t judge this mannequin’s whole without assessing its parts. We’ll even go out on a limb and recommend that you stay a while to explore its body of work. You might be rewarded by a yellow Marc Jacobs sheath with purple dots (Rs 2,100); or a Chanel LBD with cutaway shoulder detailing (Rs 3,250); a fluid floral Bebe dress (Rs 2,000) was also spotted, as was a summery cotton BCBG (Rs 1,200) frock.
