Welcome to the Fashion Jungle


Blumarine



Fashionistas have always been inspired by animals in their designing. Every fall winter collection has an animal print that rules the FASHION JUNGLE and this time it is the leopard. Take a walk on the wild side by sporting this audacious trend with a favorite fashion staple.

This season, the leopard replaced the snake which was the most favorite of all until last season. From Dolce&Gabbana to Balmain, Mango to Forever 21, every designer, Indian or international is trying his/her best to catch up with the leopard print. It has that uncanny ability to add sex appeal to any ensemble.

Leopard prints found their way from pretty scarves and dresses to finely shaped bags and shoes. This print has a very mysterious and sultry look that adds a little edgy effect to your wardrobe. You can embrace this trend from your common to a hot chic wardrobe. For a corporate look and you can choose a leopard print coat or shirts by MANGO and KOOVS, for clubbing you can choose from marvelous options by Femella from KOOVS and ZARA. When you see it for the first time, it may seem like it is difficult to put on that daunting outfit, but it is really easy to pull this off. You can rock this bold and striking look by going subtle on accessories and colours.

Get Coloricious



GeT CoLOrICIOuS


Bewildered about what to wear for your stint out in town? The grace of those blacks and single-toned dresses might look like an enticing option. Yet, have you been playing it too safe of late? A couple of dates with black and a time will come when you’d want to break out of the ordinary and go all out with something refreshing, exciting and new.



Here’s an advice for all fashionistas – go vivacious, go colourlicious! While it just comes naturally to some people to play with the palette and come out in strikingly charming fashion ensembles, others may find it tedious to mix &  match colours and might just end up creating quite a disaster. So, even though it’s usually right to go with your instincts while playing up your outfit some knowledge of a few little tricks of the trade can ease out the entire process and actually make it a whole lot of fun.     


Don’t be shy of experimenting. Any colour, be it neon blue or fluorescent green, can make heads turn if you can pull it off with flair. However,  it’s important to not go all out, all at once.



 You can create wonders by placing big chunks of colours next to each other. Apply this concept to your tunics, dresses and even shoes or handbags and, you’re good to go. Use the trend wisely and you can even create a slimming effect with the incorporation of stripes or some pattern! But, make sure you put the technique to use carefully. Use it to accentuate just one part of your look. Carrying a colour-blocked handbag with a colour-blocked dress is a strict no-no. 


 Too many cooks spoil the broth and, the saying applies to fashion as well. Using too many colours in a single look can take the focus off you and result in chaos.  Especially while using strong & bold colours, it’s advisable to be a little stingy on the spectrum you put to use in the ensemble.  All in all, there’s a reason why we call it ‘playing with colours.




Don’t think too much and just break out of the monotony of the whites and greys and blacks to explore a world that’s bursting with colours. Fashion is, at the end, in many ways like Physics.  The right amount of colour, carried off with a generous dash of panache,  a little X-factor and set to the right temperature, can create ignition. Or even fireworks, if you wish!
