Aishwarya Rai In Sabyasachi Anarkali Suit

Aishwarya Rai attending was at the Giant Awards 2013 looking resplendent as ever. She wore a Sabyasachi creation for the évent and there was nothing very outstanding about the anarkali suit that Ash chooses to wear.

This Sabyasachi Mukherjee outfit was composed in three colours that are red, white and black. The colour combination made the outfit look striking with the bodice of the kurta black, the kurta plain white from under the bust and the drape of the anarkali suit in bright red.

Aishwarya Rai's Sabyasachi outfit made her look gorgeous enough.

Indian Wedding Outfits gothic style

We all know that Indian Bride rhymes with bright colours, heavily embroidered dresses and flashy jewels. Nevertheless the IBFW 2013, where black full-length Indian wedding outfits were showcased, suggested that this seems not to be the case anymore.

The most important fashion extravaganza in Indian bridal couture has started a few days ago in Mumbai. The first day saw an opening show by fashion designers Jyotsna Tiwari and Tarun Tahiliani. It was a line inspired from the seven colours of navratan jewellery for the first, while a mix of modern and traditional Indian bridalwear silhouettes for the second, especially in the bridal lehengas category. 

On the Day 2 the fashion show was led by Pallavi Jaikishan and by Gaurav Gupta’s Lightfall line, which featured saree gowns and exquisite bridal lehengas sets. 

The following day Indian designer duo Falguni and Shane Peacok stroke everybody’s attention with their collection made precious by heavy embroidered garments in luxe lace, georgette, chiffon and net, all adorning their collection of bridal lehengas and bridal sarees.

Fusion Fashion: Indian Trousers at Lakme Fashion Week

Bomber jacket and zippers skilfully presented in a new-age Indian context. That’s what Nupur Kanoi did, giving fashion lovers another taste of her version of fusing sensibilities. On similar lines, you could take a simple kurta and team it with a pair of well fitted Indian trousers. For that bad a** edge, throw on a cool biker jacket over the look. Remember to keep the colour story balanced using similar tones as opposed to a stark colour contrast.

 Fusion fashion is all about telling stories with the way you put a look together. Global Desi’s a/w ’13 showcase presented influences from tribal and gypsies, that were interestingly fused to form a look that is cool and free spirited. Printed indian trousers teamed with embroidered kurti tops can form the base for a fun look. A cool desi-graphic tote, a printed bandana and a pair of shades would add that sense of ‘street chic’.

The indian trousers have proved their versatility once again! At Krishna Mehta‘s winter/festive ’13 show at LFW, we saw model, Candice Pinto working a look that had a flow-y asymmetrical kurta worn over a pair of wide-legged pajamas. You could try to personalize this look with a voluminous flared kurta over a pair of printed palazzos.
