Fantasy Fringes and Face Paint | Trends | Forecasting

I have started marking my fashion boundaries with a sense of peculiarity. There is a certain interest in fashion,which has piqued me to exploring appearing culture, trends and uniqueness of my mind to indulge in fantasy. This moment of fashion snipping from the flow of ideas, usually known to my brain and unending hours of  sifting images and genre on Pinterest, Jettisoned towards something more exciting and experimental, that either you would like to throw a chair at me, or embrace me with particularly elicit response. Either ways its my vocabulary of fashion, and I if you cannot be a student, then be a spectator, and take things with a pinch of salt, coz what you are gonna see now may not be everyone's cup of tea.

I tried my hands on face paint. I have been really fascinated by this controversial form of makeup, and dug deep in the roots. And look what I found !!!  Indian mythology has been full of it.

Body Paint which masquerade as art but fully inhibit the appropriation of a personal style statement was found from the birth of ancient civilisations and among the creepy sadhus and Naga Babas of vedic times to Lord Krishna . 

After witnessing coloured brows as exuberant as any visual drama,its time to take things up a notch. This outfit was conceptualised as a modern interpretation which resonates elements which I cleverly picked in accord with street style, and these painted brows which I practised outside the hidden runway of the most talked about high fashion show of Delhi, where I got to strut my experiments while still being low key.

The drama created by lots of silver cocktail jewellery,  the asymmetric draped slip dress and this fringe belt is quite playful, because I would have twirled a zillion times to make things move in symmetry, but guess my wardrobe has its mind of its own. I have a few shaken images for you to piss you off  ( That's some major commitment to photography). Can't blame, coz the man behind the lens (Abhimanyu ) is a major major major street style photographer. I see a little bit of  American street style photographer Bill Cunningham  in him. R.I.P Bill. 

Jewelry Inspiration and Indian Ethnic Fusion Wear

Offbeat fashion sensibilities whipped up with over abused resources is where my forte lies. Like today I am wearing this architectural print inspired W Kurta with a skirt which was bought parallel to my blogging journey. The blog stayed well, and so did this skirt and that too ,in a condition where I could boast of my upkeeping skills.

The Scarf is done up which meets up the accent of this Indian Wear,and in a modern drama, where it could switch places from my neck and land up on the head into a Scarf turban/Bun and apparently into a much better vision angle so that I could flaunt these cover-ups if they would want to seek some attention of its own.

Living in the new fashion genre where mixing prints has a very spontaneous take on fashion, and gets very tricky especially for those who wants to escape a judging glare,this is my generous dose on attempting the same. I stuck with the basic, just one color approach. So if you couldn't ever figure out  the correct balance, I would say the right technique would be just to not involve a lot of color drama or go for a Chaotic impression ( which sure does when many colors add upto many prints) rather just make this kind of tricky fashion in an appropriate mend with black n whites instead.

If you ask me, this fusion outfit could easily take you to your office desk, and a so much better way to transform the boring kurtas hanging in your closet and wear them in a fun way to work. ie with skirts.

Coming to the jewelry, as much as I love my Elite Jewelry to take me through events n glitz, I like to play around as much with mundane stuff in an non-mundane placement, Like wearing a roadside bought  earring and that too in one lobe.Of course the other side is enjoying the dark shadow of my swept up hair. And these gold with pseudo studded detailing pointed sunglasses, don't just dare and say that they don't count for jewelry. It took me half n hour to make up my mind on these.

Now tell me. Does this print mixing thing goes with a slew of fun or u have a thumbs pointing down on my take ?

Best Places to Shop Trendy Clothes in Delhi

The way we shop now a days, has changed over a last few years !! Wanna Know what should be an ideal wardrobe like, well then read on !
A few days back, I got a readers mail, asking me, my shopping preferences- Bangkok vs street shopping vs brands etc..
I'll tell you the truth. Zara , Mango and all the high end brands have penetrated deep in India.The clothes are well tailored, extremely fitted  though I wouldn't call them value for money ! They are not exclusively for the affluent class, but within the reach of middle class too ! For some its a status symbol, and it seems like everyone else is itching to race and blow a wad of cash on looking like everyone else ! Well that's my problem. Why look alike, when you can look different ? I feel like I can see the same dress I bought some days ago about three times on the same week walking through my city.
One word- The only thing I have with these brands is that you can't be experimental ! You just can't forge yourself on it !! You don't own a dress, damn IT OWNS U !!!
I love high end shopping , but its just been over an year the excitement of sale and clearance has died down for me at least in India where Zara and Mango rules the fashion snobbery ! That's a reason I have been hitting stand alone designers(meher chand market/hauz khas) Flea markets, Exhibitions and sarojini nagar lately !! I love picking up the rarest of the designs  and mixing it what I already have and evolve in my own way.
I  have blessed serendipity in picking up this scooter print jacket recently from Sarojini !! Its structured, fits well and is perfect for light layering! I was so excited about my find that I picked up three different prints Can't wait to show you all !!! What's your take on fashion now days ? Thrift ? Brands ? recession ? Future ?

I hope I could do more justice to this print, but the sun was too strong :(
