Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week 2011


Known to be Asia’s biggest business fashion event, Wills Lifestyle India Fashion week (WIFW) showcased some of the most wonderful and stunning textures and colors we’ve seen this year. An assortment of designers integrated Indian crafts and traditional pattern into urban design, and the results were definitely captivating, to say the least!

One collection, for example, really caught our eyes, and felt would be well complimented by our new Spring collection:


The designer, Tanvi Kedia, presented this an electric collection, which was designed of kutch embroidery, ikat digital prints, tribal prints, geometric patterns, and folk art. (Moni Moni handbags, from left to right: (Luna Candy, Splendor Intrex Chocolate, Hobo Mint)


If you’re thinking about picking up some of the top trends India’s fashion week showcased, we’ve got the scoop for you: bright colors, palazzo pants (very retro and cool!), and shades of mustard were among the hottest looks shared amongst the designers.

We at Moni Moni LOVE seeing new fashion trends on the rise, and always keep them in mind when working on new designs. Our lovely designer, Cinzia Moniaci, is hard at work on new collections, so between the inspiration she got from her trip to Italy and the various fashion weeks she’s followed, it’s exciting to see what we’ll have in store for you!

Fall/Winter Trendsetter: Sneaker Wedges

Fall/Winter 2011/2012 collections from designers have introduced a curious new line of footwear: sneaker wedges. The lines seem to be dedicated to sport style lovers and include sneaker wedges that Domenico Dolche and Stephano Gabbana advise to wear with skirts featuring transparent frills, knitted garments and trousers. These sneakers are trendy and undeniably fashionable, and while they probably won’t go well with dresses and formal outfits they’ll do well with more casual outfits with jeans, shorts, or skirts as mentioned — golf clothes and yoga pants work, too! Thinking about jumping on the new trend? Well, Moni Moni is here to show you how – even with these new, creative shoes – we’re able to make coordinating your outfit a cinch with our handbags!

Our more casual and semi-casual handbags are sure to, along with your new pair of sneaker wedges, highlight your entire outfit and the fashionista inside you:

Our casual, yet stylish Tote bag in Red would go well with a pair of these hot shoes!

Enjoying the day out or running errands in these? Our Gypsy messenger bag in dark grey would be a perfect companion!

Even with a pair of sportier sneaker wedges like these, bags like the Savana Tie Dye and Hobo in Mocha Latte from our Spring collection ensure that you’re stylin’ no matter what the occasion!

Cinzia’s Visit To Italy, Part 1

Enjoying her trip to her native Italy, Moni Moni’s designer, Cinzia Moniaci, is being constantly inspired by the country’s beauty. Known for its roman ruins, renaissance palaces, captivating landscapes and unique food, it’s no wonder why Italy is a perfect muse wherever she turns. Let’s see how her visit is helping her flourish her rich, creative background!

 
The rolling landscapes are a sight to see. Cinzia noticed a beautiful contrast between the open fields and the city behind it and took note (Pictured Left).
“The depth and attention to detail in Italian architecture is exactly what I always want to implement in my design,” thought Cinzia (Pictured Right).

 
The nature is especially beautiful during her trip — the flowers seemed more radiant, and the grass more lush (Pictured Left).
Nothing beats relaxing on the shore with a caressing ocean breeze. This is the perfect setting to think about a Summer collection, wouldn’t you say? (Pictured Right)

  
Food isn’t only about taste, but texture and presentation. And, hey, a creative mind can’t work on an empty stomach! (Pictured Left)
With a captivating view like this, how wouldn’t anyone be inspired? (Pictured Right)

 
Italy, where “Art Nouveau” and “Art Deco” was born and still thrives. (Pictured Left)
The only thing more grand than a Roman Colosseum, is the love in a happy family. (Pictured Right)

    Cinzia has already given us a sneak peak at a leather jacket collection she has going to production. Cinzia shares, “Each jacket matches a bag, this one with the ‘Splendor bag‘ detail on the shoulder will be perfect for Halle Berry” We’re eager to see the collections Cinzia is currently hard at work on, and we’ll be sure to share it with you once they’re revealed!

Stay tuned next week, when we continue Cinzia’s Trip to Italy and discover the muse that inspires with her – no matter where she goes.

Celeb Pick: The Moni Moni Splendor Bag

When it comes to the most wanted handbag amongst our favorite celebrities like Halle Berry, Jessica Alba and Brooke Shields, there’s no competition — it’s Moni Moni’s Splendor Handbag! So what makes it so popular and in-demand? As our signature bag, it has everything you want in a handbag: the super soft and slouchy leather that makes Moni Moni so popular, a detachable strap allowing for different carrying options, and outside zipper with pouch on top of the already generous carrying space lined with cotton. The effortless, distressed look is one of the key factors of its chic, yet semi-casual design. Even more impressive is the wide array of available colors! Keeping everyone in mind, the Splendor takes on different forms like the Splendor Large for those who need a bit more carrying space in their lives, or the Splendor Fly for those who love a touch of glam!

There’s even a Splendor messenger bag, for a fashionable look that also helps with running those daily errands!

We’re not surprised to see so many celeb-spottings with a Splendor handbag, like on the arms of Denise Richards or Kourtney Kardashian. It just proves that if there were ever an “everyday” handbag for a girl, there’s no doubt: the Splendor is the “it-bag” to get!
Keep an eye out for upcoming Splendor handbag collections, like the Splendor Glamour and the Splendor Rock & Roll!
