At a recent fashion show in town, one of the critics of fashion who manages to get away with her statements asked a very pertinent question, “What the hell was that?” This question was in response to the clothes that had walked the ramp thinly wrapped on the models and it wasn’t out of place at all.
“Less is more” is an idiom most heard in fashion circles today, following this as the principle while designing, however, could lead to disastrous results. Sketching an outfit with the least amount of cloth is not really fashion or style of any kind.
Many prefer to show off their cleavage, well turned out backs, tight hips etc. but there is style in which one does it. For example the Maid in Manhattan star, Jennifer Lopez is one woman who can show off a lot more than what she can hide. However, upon close scrutiny of her wardrobe over many public shows, one realizes that she doesn’t invest in over exposure at all. She believes in flaunting subtly and it pays her back quite well. Her outfits are usually never out of place or too over exposing in nature. They sit very well on her body and she is able to show off just the right amount as required for the occasion.
Indian styles and outfits are slowly but steadily making their way on the Red carpet at many shows and for the right reasons. The Indian sari is an outfit meant for every body type and when worn correctly, it can work magic for the woman beneath. However, the trend to wear funny blouses along with the Indian sari has the potential of making the whole outfit fall down the fashion disaster lane.
Full flowing dresses have never really been out of fashion and if anything they are back with lovely color variations and a slight cut, deep somewhere. Bold colors and tight darts make the full length flowing outfit look regal on the woman wearing it. The trick to remember here is to wear minimal accessories and salon supplies on the hair to ensure full attention is on the outfit and the person wearing it.
God is in the details is not an adage that is unnecessarily famous. Detailing in fashion can take the person places including the dustbin of forgotten public appearances. Therefore, planning slightly ahead than the actual show time holds the key to the right appearance and right publicity!
