if i'm being brutally honest, when people showed up wearing anna hazare hats to fashion week, i scoffed. i was naiive enough to believe that politics and fashion were completely unrelated - that the two worlds didn't coincide in or outside a fashion tent.
.
so here i am, openly admitting that i was wrong. while michelle obama in jason wu or cindy mccain in de la renta would be the obvious clues, i had my rude awakening when i was approached by a man who started to scream about how photography was prohibited in the area. i pointed out that it was a public street and since there was no sign stating so or a security guard to point that out to me, i wasn't in the wrong.
he then refused to discuss the matter with me rationally since i was a woman and threatened me with the police. when i agreed wholeheartedly to go to the station to sort the matter out, he had the nerve to ask me for a bribe!

{ cape : vero moda, t-shirt : bandra fair, dull gold leggings : hill road, clutch : gift, leopard ankle booties : forever new, necklace : aldo accessories, earrings : hill road, bangles : gift, sunnies : prada minimal baroque }
.
on a side note, how gorgeous is this cape by vero moda? i'm a huge fan of anything camel and it's oversized-ness makes it the perfect travel companion for all those long flights! i'm pairing it with leopard accessories and pleather leggings for fall!

following an afternoon at the police station (in gold leggings!) it was discovered that the man was not a cop, but a bmc cleanup official who had no right to give out tickets unless i was littering! also, there was no anti-photography rule in the area!
.
though the mumbai police have a bad reputation, they were polite, organized, respectful and fair. people can point fingers at politicians as much as they like, but corruption is rampant at the grassroot level, too. it's upto us to change that.
.
start today. standing up for what's right will never go out of style.
