KAFTAN WITH A CUT

The kaftan is that rare sheer garment you can throw on before getting into shape . That makes it the classic holiday cover-up for a day by the pool or dinner by the candlelight. However, full-length kaftans have a tendency to look bulky because they usually come with massive sleeves that end at the wrists. At Delhi Fashion week Spring Summer 2013, designer Gaurav Gupta presented a neat trick to resolve the snag . cut them halfway up the elbow, and you are left with an ultra flattering silhouette.



It can be in various hues, textures, prints, floral, fabric, such as silk chiffon, silk crepe and Lycra, Satin or jersey can look really good on Indian women, etc. On a holiday, these can be the best substitute to a cool summer dress. Its flowing silhouette will give you a dreamy touch. When autumn is already at its peak, the Kaftans provide the most comfortable feeling to our body. The Kaftans can be glamorous at the same time very comfortable.







The best feature of a Kaftan is that it suits all body shapes and sizes. For those who are little over- weight, Kaftans are the best options to hide those extra pounds. A long Kaftan is perfect for a holiday when you want to go out for a walk with your friends or the special one, a short one suits best for a beach wear, a tunic Kaftan can be best paired up with tights or jeans for a formal outing or even for a casual meeting.

Kaftans can also be a unique outfit for parties, marriage functions or other social events. When most ladies are busy with their drapes and long flowing gowns, you can proudly flaunt the Kaftans that will make you stand unique out of the crowd.


It can also be worn as a Churidar Kameez. You just need to check for the length. Team it up with a pair of leggings or a pair of matching churidar. Have a look here. Just make a few adjustments to grab the spotlight on you.

If you want a high-end classy and sophisticated look then you need to select the fabric of your Kaftan very carefully. Go for Satins or lycra. Blend it with some chunky accessories. If you want ,you can just pair it up with a solitaire and here you are ready to rock the world.

Dress as per your body type ang give yourself a fabulous look

PETITE OR SHORT BODY

Identifying your shape is half the battle, so if you are less than 5’3” and of a small build, then you definitely fit in the petite category. 

Petite or Short Body:
This means you are short in height and small boned in structure. The average height here is 5’3” so you are short heighted if you are below 5 Feet and 3 Inches.

What To Wear – Wear Vertical Stripes
  The vertical stripes on the top or on the dress add an illusion of vertical height thus giving you a taller look. Also, you should try wearing V-neck as it shows your neck and gives added height.


 You can also try wearing short skirts and this will make your legs look longer, Remember Rani looks taller and better in short skirts?

You can also wear shirt and trousers and try tucking in the shirt.



Wear dresses with heels, but please avoid wearing sky high heels as it will bring attention to your heels and thus to your short frame. You can wear high heel shoes over a trouser but make sure the trouser covers up the shoes. You can also try tying up your hair or adding the height onto the head by using a head band. Draping a well chosen saree can be a savior.





Jumpsuits: 
Don’t dismiss jumpsuits as a trend only for the column shaped girls. Take a cue form Rani Mukherjee whose single coloured jumpsuit along with killer heels makes her seem taller. Emphasize with similar coloured accessories, for example, Rani’s tan belt and shoes.


What To Avoid – Horizontal Stripes:
Large,wide or bright belts. In fact, you should avoid wearing anything in the horizontal look or anything that seems to divide your body into half.

How to tie a long scarf


READY FOR TYPOGRAPHY FASHION

  Printed letters and numbers on clothes and accessories--- the latest fad in trend





Your might have seen retro graphics in restaurants, or record labels or even your favourite perfume. But now, be prepared to step out in it --the new style diktat is to wear alphabets and words-- in a variety of fonts -- and numbers too. So, if you have always feared falling into a fashion rut, ere's how typography fashion can play saviour.......

BE A "WORDSMITH"


Want to rock the party next time you're invited ?Try leggings in Century Gothic font. Or to go wilder still, dress up plain denims in an over sized number, that's rare abroad.
Famous designer Giorgio Armani once said, " I've always thought of the T-shirt as the Alpha and Omega of the fashion alphabet," and that cant be truer with the new look. Graphic tees with the entire English alphabet and purses to match make for the 'it' look. There's no question of repetition either, as author Simon Garfield notes in his book of stories about fonts, "there are more than 100,000 fonts in use." So, ready to pull the letters out of books and into your wardrobe??????

Bring back the dhoti to your wardrobe:

Dhoti, a traditional Indian garment meant for men, is in vogue and how. But, this time , it is woman who are hotting it up . The classic Indian dhoti is being revived by many Indian designs in contemporary designs, and its no surprise to see the likes of Priyanka Chopra ,Sonakshi Sinha , Genelia D Souza and Kiran Rao donning its modern version .








RE-INVENTING INDIAN CULTURE :

Mumbai based masaba Gupta , one of those who has worked extensively on the garment, says that her whole design aesthetic is about reviving Indian culture and that's why this was a natural step for her . She adds," why do we need to be inspired by western designs when we do have so much here!  Angarkhas , anarkali , dhotis . we just need to modify them a bit and they are ready for a modern avatar. i have designed a dhoti jumpsuit with t-shirt on top and dhoti below. its one piece creation.
Designer Payal Singhal , who is also known for her innovative take on dhotis adds," my recent fashion week collection was inspired by many adivasi tribes of India and their culture. Dhotis are Indian traditional silhouette  . you can play with the proportions of the design, you can also play around with the tops and accessories to change the look that you are aiming for.
But of many kinds of bottoms in trend right now , how does one differentiate between a harem pant, a patiala salwar and the dhoti pant ? clarifies Masaba, "the placing of the pleats on the pants distinguishes a dhoti from a patiala or a harem. they belong to the same family though and look more or less similar."

She goes on to explain, "the construction of the harem is slightly different though, the pleats are generally places waist down to mid thigh on the front. the patiala salwar uses a lot of fabric. the patiala salwar also balloons up below the knee and adds volume or ghera to the silhouette. Also harem pants are most commonly available in fabrics such as licra, stretch and thus flimsier than dhoti pants, which are generally stitched and preferred in stiffer, starchy fabrics." 







STYLING IT WELL:


You can also dress it up with a semi-formal top, statement jewellery and heels for dinner date. for a casual outing, girls can pair it with a 'Ganji' like Priyanka Chopra
