What makes high heels a cultural icon? Why does the little black dress resonate in our culture? And what are the little known facts behind the evolution of the bikini? Love/Lust takes everyday items of desire, and deconstructs them to unpack the historical, social and pop culture events that made these the icons they are today. Love/Lust will premiere on November 7 every Monday at 8 pm on India’s favourite lifestyle channel, TLC.
Each one-hour episode will unravel the origin and evolution of various fashion items that we love and lust. Blending incredible visual elements with the perspectives of professional commentators and public personalities, Love/Lust delivers an entertaining and definitive account of how life’s cultural innovations progressed from novelty to ubiquity.
Rajiv Bakshi, Vice President-Marketing, Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific said, “Presenting an entire gamut of lifestyle programming from travel, cuisine to fashion, TLC is India’s ultimate lifestyle destination. Love/Lust is an in-depth analysis of iconic elements of fashion with in a fascinating narrative.”
Love/Lust stitches up the story of The Little Black Dress, revealing how a series of events – not to mention the formidable Coco Chanel – helped transform an emblem of rebellion into a wardrobe warhorse. It’s a fascinating story punctuated with attractive imagery and the colourful commentary of numerous fashion insiders, including designer Vera Wang; author and Barneys New York creative ambassador Simon Doonan; and renowned fashion historian Valerie Steele, the Director and Chief Curator of the Museum of the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). Subsequent episodes of Love/Lust continue the stylish inquiry with episodes devoted to the bikini, high heels and make-up.
Some of the iconic fashion items featured on LOVE LUST:
Common wisdom decrees that no woman’s wardrobe is complete without a Little Black Dress, a garment that can confidently see her from business meeting to seduction. But before it was an icon or an institution, the LBD was a rebel yell.
It's far more than a felicitous combination of a few triangles of fabric and some string. Raquel Welch, Brigitte Bardot - choose your weapon.
When Lady Gaga slipped into her Alexander McQueen lobster heels, she was following in footsteps painstakingly and proudly laid in Paris (of course) in the 17th Century (really!).
Beauty may be only skin deep, but makeup has worn the test of time as a staple of everyday life that reaches all the way back to Ancient Egypt. Along with rainbow colors, makeup has rainbow meanings: an expression of conformity and rebellion, class signifier, social commentary and, of course, rite-of-passage.
