App of the week: Slingshot

Facebook’s stand alone app ‘Slingshot’ is a new way of keeping in touch with your friends. You can share pictures and videos with your friends but there’s a small catch to it. Find out all about the app here.

Sling a shot just like you Snap a chat

Snapchat finally has a competition with Facebook’s new app Slingshot. Slingshot users can share videos and pictures instantly with their friends just like Snapchat. The difference is that the pictures or videos remain locked until you ‘sling’ something back to your friends.

Add doodle and your location

The app was launched last week on Android and Apple devices and has features like adding text, doodle and location. However, the app is yet to make an impact as massive as Snapchat’s. The interface could be a little confusing at first, but the app promises to be fun in its own unique way.

Bhane: Revolutionizing India’s street fashion

Bhane’s clothes promise to redefine basic street fashion in India. And Anand Ahuja, the founder of Bhane, talks to Trendspotters TV about Bhane fashion and his brand, founded on the values of ‘simplicity, individuality and respect’. Here are the excerpts from his interview:

Anand: Bhane is simple. It’s simple clothing and it’s about your own style and the idea of ‘live in the moment’. It’s just clean, simple and fun.

Keeping with the brand’s tag line ‘Live Simply, Simply Live’, Ahuja used regular people from different walks of lives as models to display his collection online.

Anand: We used this small group of people. But a lot of them aren’t even full time models. One is a designer, one is a student so we had this whole… like a small group but they were also people who had other positions and also friends of the photographer and stylist so that got us going. In our second season, spring/summer collection we had 150 different people so for each item we shot a different person, different heights, different sizes, different ethnicities, different everything.

‘Bhane’ stands for everything which signifies street fashion but according to Ahuja it’s a small coterie of people who have made it a trend to reckon with.

Anand: The idea of very basic style-forward and trend-forward clothing in India, I think it’s a small group of people. It’s kind of the early adopters. People who are already in fashion, people who are well travelled or people who are in some sort of related fields… they tend to be the ones who are the most responsive so far.
