The best thing about fashion in India is
that it doesn’t remain constantm with new ideas constantly springing up. West
meets ethnic is the fashion statement which has taken the country by a storm.
Peasant crop tops, solid anarkalis, printed trousers and culottes are just some
of the few wardrobe must haves. The glorious fusion of chic modern style with
quintessentially Indian fashion has created an explosion of unique designs and
a riot of never seen before colours. This is the future of Fashion in India.
Fashion blogger duo Shereen and Kayaan are
fun, challenging, confident and bold. They push their boundaries and wear
quirky outfits that leave us desiring some for ourselves.
Their Rakshabandhan blog post was aptly titled Raksha Fusion. Kayaan, as seen in the top image, has captured the absolute essence of India with her Debashree Samanta dhoti pants, and flashy gold jewellery while the crop top balances the whole look lending it a western touch.
Shereen, as seen in the top image, wears a Karishma Jamwal drape dress and tops it with a Kiran Uttam Ghosh
pleated cape. The loud and vibrant orange and red colours add that perfect smack of
ethnicity.
They also modelled for the next gen Indianfashion designer Tanya Sharma’s eccentric label named ‘GaGa’. Shereen, in the far top image, wears a quilted Bandhini sweatshirt, a croptop and bright lehenga skirt. Kayaan
on the other hand goes sporty ethnic (yes, that’s a thing now) with a quilted
jersey and tie dye anarkali. These outfits take this wonderful fusion to a
whole new level.
While the designer, Debashri Samanta, was
inspired by the plight of the Vietnamese fisherwomen when creating these
outfits, we can’t ignore the subtle Indian ness in them which is so chic and
strangely elegant that we can’t take our eyes off them.
Our absolute favourite is Masaba Gupta, the
originator of the avant-garde. With her zany, quirky and eccentric prints, she
has won over the hearts of millions. Such was the demand for her clothes that
she started a new line of unusual and unconventional outfits in affordable
prices!
Khyati Pande is an upcoming designer whose
creations are spreading like wildfire. She combines various elements to create
one outfit and the best part is that it doesn’t look garish or over the top.
She loves her colours and knows how to play
with them. Layering with flair is her forte and she loves bright waistcoats,
minimal kurtas and bold trousers.
