Big Hair – Wear it loud, wear it proud! That’s the
mantra of the season as the hair just keeps getting progressively messier. Keep
it natural, big and bouncy and you’ve for yourself a winner. From the urban
wave by Calvin Klein to Versace’s super voluminous blow-out – it’s all about
keeping things simple. Keep ‘em tresses drippy, semi-dry with loose ends and
watch yourself transform. You could also try twisted knots and chignons, bouncy
blow-outs, slicked back wet roots with a natural unruliness at the tips,
voluminous up-dos or simply tousle your hair carelessly for that ultra-glam,
super-chic look. If you want that extra edge, don’t for a second hesitate
before wearing quirky, loud colours. Remember, the mantra is –just be!

Digital Imaging –Yawwwwn! Move over, Topshop, we’ve
had this trend on our kurtis for a while now. Yes, it’s bold, makes a
statement – but must the statement be “I’m right here f%#%^, turn around and
look at me!?” That apart, for the full-bodied Indian frame, loud prints just
don’t work, and end up drawing attention to all the wrong places :O

Admittedly, Moschino, Mulberry and even the more
conservative Chanel are drawn to it for the sheer creative leeway it brings,
not to mention its endless possibilities in terms of fabric, texture and
design. But aside from the runway, I wonder if walking along the promenade of
an uppity South Mumbai market would make you look as glam! Don’t get me wrong,
I love how fashion has embraced the sudden flurry of colour. But moderation my
friend, is always key.
