Trend Alert – Bollywood Goes Floral!
By: strawberrylicious Date: October 21, 2013, 4:11 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Flower power now exceeds beyond the confines of spring and
summer wardrobes. Our Bollywood celebs have been embracing the
floral trend letting the theme translate into their evening,
casual, desi & western attires. Be it a Priyanka’s quirky ASOS
floral suit for International Girl Child Day or Deepika’s rich
Sabyasachi floral embroidery lehenga saree for the Ram-leela
audio launch, the trend has crossed boundaries of seasons and
has a landed a spot in every celeb wardrobe.
While floral prints are something that we’re accustomed to,
Indian designers’ enthusiasm for Indian textiles and artistry
has taken this latest style statement to a new level. One of
Masaba’s 2013 collection saw pink rose embroideries accompany
black/white rose prints. The designer took floral prints to a
new level with this incorporation of print and embrodiery.
Designers like Payal Pratap and Anupama Dayal brought together
the trend of pastels and florals together in Indian attire. Then
there were those who pushed the boundaries who took florals from
the casual/chic arena to top end Indian couture. Bhairavi
Jaikishen and Sabyasachi dared to make florals a part of bridal
wear and struck gold with this leap.

This year we’ve seen our celebrities embrace flower power in all
its glory. The 90s divas jumped on board as we saw multiple
sightings of Madhuri in florals on Jhalak Dikhla Ja, while Juhi
made a appearance on the ramp for Yash Chopra’s Anniversary
fashion show in a floral lehenga. Sridevi opted for floral
prints for her b’day bash and Karishma continued her love affair
with chiffon blouses in a floral print Dolce & Gabbana blouse.
The one that came as the biggest surprise was Kajol’s Shantanu &
Nikhil floral saree, which became an instant favourite for
fashion columns across the platform.

Film promotion events saw both Deepika and Kareena opting for
florals at multiple occasions. While Kareena opted for the pop
of floral color on black dresses, Deepika mixed it up with
floral pencil skirts, summer dresses and then a rich Sabyasachi
floral embroidery saree.

Sabyasachi’s floral print saree that Shraddha opted for for LFW
came as a refreshing change to the ultra formal dos the
designer’s muses tend to opt for. And whilst Taani, Parineeti &
Bipasha’s choices weren’t much to write home about, they easily
illustrated how adaptable the floral trend is for any event or
occasion. The lady to really catch our attention was Priyanka
Chopra who did an all-floral suit for a recent event. Not only
was it eye catchy but it some how also kept in tact the
formal/business feel that suits generally have despite the
floral print.

The lady to have gone completely ga-ga over the fact that
florals are taking over the many facets of fashion was Sonam
Kapoor. From her appearance on the Cannes red carpet to small
town movie promotion events, she seems to have ensured that her
love for florals doesn’t go amiss anywhere. Sarees to anarkalis
to ball gowns, it was florals all around for Sonam in 2013.

What we’d like to see happening now is the men of B-town getting
their florals right. This year we had only one winning sighting
courtesy of Farhan Akhtar at a magazine launch. The man wowed us
and how with his floral shirt and army green jacket. Sadly in
the previous sightings of our men in florals has been the
complete opposite to Farhan’s grand success. Adhyanan’s
borrowing of Dad’s shirt for a festival in Goa was not a pretty
sight for our poor eyes neither was Abhishek’s appearance in a
floral shirt at an airport.

On our wish list now is for some of our other ladies to dabble
in florals in their coming appearances i.e. we’d love to see
Katrina give the boring solid colors a break and have some fun
with floral prints. Perhaps we’ll get lucky during her Dhoom 3
promotion appearances. And while many of B-town guys have gotten
the hang of mixing pastels with their attire, we’d love for some
to take the next bold step and dare to wear florals. Farhan
pulled his off effortlessly so there’s no doubt it can be done
right. Salman Khan’s stylists on Bigg Boss 7 seem to be
favouring bold prints so here’s hoping they give a winning
floral look some time later this season. For now a word of
advice for the guys who do want to dabble in florals, stay away
from the big prints, go for the pastel and delicate/small prints
and wisely pair it up with appropriate jackets/blazers.
Leave your comments on which celebrity you think has made the
most of this latest fashion fad and which celebrities you wish
to hop on the floral-bandwagon. Also don’t forget to share your
thoughts on what you think of men who dare to be bold with
florals.
