As we look back at the yesteryears, vintage fashion is making a come back with a bang. Speaking of traditional fabrics, they too are making a comeback. We are today looking at the yesteryears’ fashion because fashion has reached a saturation point”, says city based designer Sagar, who also owns XLNC boutique, a fashion hub for men. Fabrics like Kalamkari, Guntur cottons and Srikalahasti cottons are in vogue.
Khadi with western cuts are much preferred today. With more women going out to work, they look for practicality in dressing. Pieces of the past give creations a vintage look keeping the basic cut and silhouette modern. Today, if you’re looking to recreate the Victorian look in you designs you can’t have long overflowing skirts with bunches of frills.
On classy side, peaceful colors like white, pink , sea colors and pastels are in. Zardosi is has made its way out this year, embroidery in colored threads have replaced zari. The fashion at any point of time reflects the state of mind of the people. For instance, with the end of World War- 2 cossets were out because women had to go to work and so the pant-silhouette crept in.
