May 27, 2009 at 3:09 pm (Articles)

Wondering which colors should you include in your wardrobe this season? Here’s presenting the entire colour story of spring /summer 2009.

Spring is synonymous with freshness, vibrancy and new beginnings. Designers don’t quite forget to get inspired from the lively spirit of this flowery season. Bright colours are always in demand this time of the year. This year colors like yellow and electric blue popped up in almost every collection with deeper, translucent and neutral tones tempering down the vibrancy.

THE MAGIC OF BLUE CONTINUES

For the past few seasons blue has been ruling the fashion runways and this season, too, designers like Nachiket Barve, Araiya, Ruchi Mehta splashed the ramp with tints and shades of the colour BLUE. Worth mentioning were Gayathri Khanna and Babita Malkani’s collectons that included an environmental theme titled –‘SAVE THE OCEAN’. The colors and prints used in this collection were inspired from various under water sea life.

Capturing the magic in our dresses and accessories we offer you a varied range of shades and tones of blue.

FASHIONABLY VIBRANT YELLOW

It’s time to brighten up your spirit and wardrobe with vibrant yellow. Designers opted for this vibrant shade that is all about fun and frolic. While some designers such as Priya and Chintan ,Manish Gupta and Gayathri Khanna stuck to vibrant yellow, others such as Arjun Saluja and Preeti Chandra opted for its subdued shade.

We have included a lot of yellows in our collection too, ranging from the vibrant to the softer shades. Not many like or can pull off a really vibrant yellow. For them, what we suggest is pair a yellow accessory or include at least one item of clothing in yellow with the rest of the outfit in subdued shades.

HUES OF GOLD AND ORANGE
Gold is back this season and it’s back with a bang. Not only does it flatter the tropical skin tone, it exudes luxury and grandeur. It is a big mistake to restrict gold only to jewellery , it looks great as the color of embellishments along with the base color of an outfit. Gold screams high glam quotient. It renders an extremely bold look.
Its summer, so one would naturally expect loads and loads of white, right? WRONG!! Surprise, surprise but warmer tones, especially ORANGE, stood out in this fashion week. It was overtly endorsed by Atsu, Tarun Tahiliani, Preeti Chandra, etc.

CLASSIC WHITE AND BEIGE
Summer is synonymous with classic shades of beige and white. Therefore outfits in beige and white are simply wardrobe essentials. Many designers had whites and beiges in their collection in the Lakme fashion week and Wills life style.

JEWEL ENCRUSTED CLOTHING

This season doesn’t restrict jewels to just jewellery and accessories but has found its way to adorn outfits and items of clothing. It’s not the first time that bejewelled outfits have been popular but they are back this year with a brighter, bolder and more elegant look.

Lehenga Style Sari – Sari with a difference….

Lehenga Style Saree

Lehenga Style Saree

Since the sari has been considered as the most important item of clothing, for ages, when it comes to the Indian woman, it’s only natural that this Indian garment would undergo various kinds of experimentation and metamorphosis. True that the saree rules when it comes to versatility as this gorgeous 5 – 5.5 metres of cloth could be draped in numerous ways. In India, each region boasts of its own way of draping a saree. By virtue of its being an unstitched piece of cloth, the sari provides its wearer with multiple options to choose from, when it comes to draping it.
Along with the addition of new ways and style of draping a sari, recent times have witnessed certain changes in the sari itself, to give it a fashionable and modern touch. One such example would be the ‘butterfly pallu sari’ which was quite a rage few years back. A ‘butterfly pallu saree’ is similar to the ordinary sari except for the pallu. In a ‘butterfly pallu sari’, after a certain part the width gradually narrows to a few inches till it reaches the shoulder and the pallu flares out from the shoulder to almost its original width. It is similar to the effect created by an ordinary saree when the pallu is pleated and pinned to the shoulder part of the blouse. ‘Butterfly pallu sari’ achieves the same look without the pleats, hence imparting a modern and urbane look.

Another example of a modified saree is the ‘Lehenga style sari’, a trend that is catching up pretty fast. Once again, it is similar to the ordinary saree except for, in this case, the pleats part. While an ordinary sari requires pleats to be formed and tucked into the waist, a ‘Lehenga styled sari’ relieves its wearer of this bit of work. It simply doesn’t require any pleats. That doesn’t mean it looks plain and boring. It looks anything but that!!

Where pleats form an integral part of an ordinary saree, the ‘Lehnga style saree’ flaunts embellished flared patchwork at the front. It could be in the form of embellished godets, embellished panels or just a single wide embellished panel or godet at the front. Quite often, a ‘Lehnga styled sari’ flaunts a pallu in contrast color. This, further, makes the saree attractive and eye-catching.

The next question would be- how is it draped or worn? It’s easy. It’s draped just like a saree, without the pleats of course. However, there are various kinds of ‘Lehenga style sari’ and some varieties would require a different method of wearing it. But most of the ‘Lehenga style saris’ are draped like an ordinary saree. Since it is draped like an ordinary saree, accessories such as a blouse or choli and a petticoat are indispensable. It’s a good idea to stitch the blouse or choli of a ‘Lehnga styled sari’ with a fashionable design and cut. Think bikini style blouse, halter neck blouse, blouse with spaghetti straps, bustier blouse, etc.

Don’t forget to check out the fabulous ‘Lehenga styled saris’ in our very own RAIR collection!
