This season, traditional outfits have made a comeback, along with the new trends topping the fashion charts. HT City take a look at the trend.
“Sustainability is a key focus this year, with people repurposing their old sarees or heirlooms and pairing them with modern pieces. I feel it adds a unique touch to any outfit,” says designer Romaa Agarwal.
Young girls in particular opt for versatile outfits that can be styled multiple ways, eliminating the need for single-use pieces. It’s all about embracing sustainability and practicality without sacrificing style, she adds.
Recycle is the way for them
The trend of recycling and reuse is surely a hit among many. For Poonam Singh, of Ananya Boutique, the customer today spent smartly.
“People this Eid have segregated in two with one half still getting it all customised, starting from scratch, then there is a majority that wants to go for designer pieces that can be reused on different occasions. Earlier, it was not so as all preferred to dress up for particular occasions.”
On recycling demand, she adds, “No doubt recycling has surely gone up as people are highly budget conscious and spend sensibly. This is more the reason that recycling saw a surge in both these festivals, that is Holi and Eid. I had orders for recreating old attires like pleated dresses, Banarasi sarees, and gowns too can be recycled into co-ords with skirts or trousers.”
Farshi still to find ground
The farshi trouser trend is still to catch up in Lucknow. “The clients I got were keen for Pakistani suits as they are summery, loose and very comfy. I had negligible orders for farshi but it was just a few days back I got a few orders for it. Average Indian female height remains five feet and a bit over and these trousers go beautifully either with tall girls or the ones who can carry heels,” says Geeta Shukla, a designer and Colorz boutique owner. She has stopped taking fresh orders for ten days now.
