Being in Fashion world is not easy. One got be very alert and proactive. This industry has taught me both. That day I just thought to go out have fun on my own and witness the market myself. I should know what’s happening around, right? I’m from this whole so not mine fashion world. The buzz says that fashion is returning and this time it’s not that old. Are we running short of new ones? The luxury market is growing by 18% yearly, that’s a huge number. The disposable income is rising as the per capita has to Rs.54527 in FY 2011 increase from Rs. 47519 in FY 2010 (Did you know we are the ninth largest economy according to GDP and fourth by Purchase Power Parity (PPP)? This is obvious that our purchasing power has increased by double in past few years. An average urban Indian spends 43% of his/her income in luxury, fashion and branded clothes.
Let’s get to the best of fashion world, the latest what I saw. Animal prints are back in fashion. We do remember Akshay Kumar wearing a shirt in Salman Kahan Game show on Sony, Dus Ka Dum in 2008. Wonder this fashion has picked up so soon. Winters are super close, been strolling around and found out that the winter collection in many stores are already out.
God! F for fashion and so is f for fast. Change is the quickest to get changed. Anyway, we were talking about latest trends that are going to be in vogue soon. Leather (this fabric can never be out of fashion) one of my favorite was seen by my birdie. Celebs have been in leather dresses in recent events. I just loved Blake Lively in Gucci’s orange leather dress in the Teen Choice Awards this year.
Anne Hathaway has become quite a style icon after starring in Devil Wears Prada. I still love watching the movie whenever I want a fashion moment. Was channel surfing last night and this is one of my favorite movies in concerns to fashion. The dresses are definitely tasteful. The Channel boots were the one anybody would be envious for.
Alexander McQueen is the favorite in tinsel town since Prince William’s bride; Kate Middledon has walked down the aisle in the gown from the label. The gown combined the sleek long sleeves of 50s with elegance of modernity. The silhouettes made of ivory and satin was focused of Kate’s small waistline. Totally royal for the perfect Duchess Bride.
Lace and net are also in fashion as we see lot of these as the designer inspiration gowns around the red carpet. Liv Tyler was looking stunning in the strapless black lace gown with plunging neckline by Stella McCartney. A nice pick for New York Ballet Fall Gala, loved it.
The list is long but before ending it let me add the latest dress that I saw in New York fashion Week by the fashion label of Giorgio Armani. The 2012 collection is all about luxury and sophistication, inspired by mother of pearl. The color combination is amazing and the cuts and accessories are alluring to splurge out instantly. A unique combination by the label makes it already a hit in the market.
Mantra for perfect dress is never folly with what you’re comfortable in as fashion is what you carry elegantly not what makes you look clumsy. Will come up with more updates on fashion and luxury.
