"  Who:  Designer Saloni Lodha What: Her namesake line of versatile shifts, embroidered peasant tops, and handmade evening dresses currently crowding the closets of London stylists and party girls alike Why to Buy: Although the lasercut ribbon-weave gowns look superexpensive, they go for around $500. Where to Buy: Exclusively at Harvey Nichols Home Base: South Kensington, London Training: Lodha studied textile design in her native Bombay at Sophia Polytechnic and learned couture hand-sewing and pattern cutting at Central Saint Martins in London.  Inspirations: &amp;quot;I see the collection as a nomadic wandering among Japanese textiles, Egyptian geometry, embroidery, and watercolor.&amp;quot; Extra Touches: Hand-drawn fabrics modeled after Mexican cacti; gold tassel charms attached to each handmade zipper Fans: Actress Michelle Monaghan; London girls-about-town Lydia Forte, Jamie Winstone, Tolula Adeyemi, Hum Fleming, Morwenna Lytton Cobbold, and Margo Stilley Special Services: While most pieces are constructed overseas, evening stunners are sewn at Lodha&amp;#039;s studio, where she also accepts private commissions. Most recently, she made a dress worn by a guest to Prince Charles&amp;#039; sixtieth birthday party. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
