“Luv to Bhang” is a celebration of Bhangra Music in the city of Toronto!
It is a new type of party that is limited to those 25 & up, a mature clientele. Each male to every event must be accompanied by one Female, otherwise ADMISSION WILL BE DENIED to all events. Everything will be Strictly Enforced. With no admission restrictions on females.
If you remember the days of Basement parties at your uncles, and the pounding beat of Heera, Alaap, and Premi, as you danced in circles, well then this Party is for you!
It is brought to you by two Bhangra lovers that feel it’s time that the culture and music truly be enjoyed in an atmosphere where everyone can relax and bhang to the music! Rav (Double AA) & Manny (Desi Wear) found their is major void in the market. Gone are the days of hitting clubs every week, let alone once in a while. Many of us now are professionals, entrepreneurs, working hard, involved in serious relationships, or starting young families. But the love for Bhangra music has not died.
Why is it that now you can only enjoy the music you love in a banquet hall, eating bad food, with watered down drinks, not to mention your family looking at you because…well you have had one too many! While the ladies have to wear uncomfortable footwear, trying to fit into traditional clothing that does not let them let loose, and oh yes visiting the bar when it’s crowding with unlces is not always a comfortable feeling! Not to mention the party is over by 1:00 AM…at 1 AM we’re only GETTING STARTED!
Ritu Kumar marked 40 years in fashion with an exclusive show at the first-ever couture week in India. The oldest design house put together a retrospective anniversary collection with a fusion of classical designs and modern twists. Models Neha Dhupia and Priyanka Chopra strutted down the runway in Kumar’s spectacular collection
Vogue India’s August issue presented a 16-page vision of supple handbags, bejeweled clutches and status-symbol umbrellas, modeled not by runway stars or the wealthiest fraction of Indian society who can actually afford these accessories, but by average Indian people.
Perhaps not surprisingly, not everyone in India was amused.
The editorial spread was “not just tacky but downright distasteful” said Kanika Gahlaut, a columnist for the daily newspaper Mail Today that is based here, who denounced it as an “example of vulgarity.”
Desi wear has been awarded the People’s Choice Award for Favorite Fashion House by Masala! Mehndi! Masti!.
The awards were presented at the Festival Gala on Thursday July 24 at 7 pm. With over 3000 votes cast we would like to thank everyone who voted for us this year!!

Cover stories have included Aishwarya Rai (Bachchan), Kal Penn, Lisa Ray, John Abraham, Jennifer Lopez, Mya and Nelly Furtado but to name a few.
The Event was Everything it was promised to be, and more, pictures speak a thousand words!
Well I guess the first post should be about the first post. First I’ll introduce myself. Jef is my name, Creative Director is my game. (Yes, that’s Jef with one f). Over there we have Manny, he’s the man behind DW. We got a few other people lurking around the back rooms here at DW, but we don’t bother them much. Heh
Why a blog. Why now? This is a blogevolution baby! Long have we sought after a platform to share some of the
more personal and exciting news coming out of DW. And now we’ve found it. We’ve jumped on the WordPress platform for this blog so prep for a rocket ride!
You see, we’re so excited about what’s coming for DW that we decided now if the perfect time to come out and share some behind the scenes stuff on what makes DW the number one Urban Desi Street Wear in the world. (Sorry “otherguys”). The news, the upcoming designs, the events, the clubs, the music, the personalities, the talent all making up this movement of Desi.
After all, being cool is what desi culture stands for.
Speaking of images, yea, pictures are a large part of what we’re about here at DW. As the lead photographer I’ve always believed in proving the look and feeling through a certain style of photography. Together we’ve done a pretty good job of 
creating a unique “photodesigraphy” style. I personally believe these pictures are works of art, designed with music, architecture, all the while keeping our feet firmly grounded in street style. And it’s for this reason DW takes the path less traveled and openly displays all of our pictures. If we do a shoot with 80 pictures only a few will make it to the advertisement stage. And we’ll make a point of making sure you get to see those 80 pictures.
Take this shoot for example. Done in 2005 this still is one of my favorite shoots, and still stands up to the most current work. This was shot on location at Ottawa University with Alexandra Rodionova, (Lexxxy) and Charles-Eric Boncoeur, (Fuzzy). We had a whole crew on this shoot and turned a few heads as well.
Can’t leave out the new, the hot, and the extreme! We’ll be going behind the scenes of some of our most well known works, events, and some tidbits on a few controversies. But we won’t keep the new away from you. No sir. Take this shoot with Parul Sharma. Hands down one of the most talents women your likely to meet. She was Miss world a few years back, and is now an up and coming singer..
This brings up the personalities who’ve gotten into our Ts. From Sugar Sammy, Gurinder Chadha, Jassi Sidhu, Lindsay Ferguson, Biff Naked, Alexandra Rodionova, Jaspal Binag, and the Dhol Foundation. They’ve all to got behind us in one way or another in support of spreading Desi Wear Gear.
One of the really cool things you’ll see along this ride is designs designs and designs. Oh, and maybe some designs. From old school out of prints Tshirts, to the ones that didn’t make the cut, to the hottest most current ones. And maybe if your lucky a few previews of what’s to come.
So stay tunned, join up, feed off us, post comments, bla bla bla. Do what ever you need to do to get your DW fix.
