OTT goes underground!
Fashion sees a return to minimalism, as opulent sequins, embroideries and bling seem to go off the ramps
It may just work for markets that might see an economic recession in the future. We are talking about the trend that has already been making waves globally over the last few fashion seasons. But the Indian market, predominantly ruled by bridal couture and of late by high street fashion too, is starting to see a return to 'less is more'. For a long time now, opulent looks — embroidery, ruffles, bling and fringes have ruled the roost. But heavy embellishments on garments now seem to have taken a backseat. The last fashion week gave a peek into that very return to the world of minimalism.
Designer Wendell Rodricks feels that minimalism is not just a passing trend but something that is here to stay. " People are over and done with the highly done up OTT outfits. After all, how many chains, sequins and embellishments could you mix together? Customers now want sleeker pieces that emphasise mostly on the construction, shape, fabric, and colour. In fact, playing just with fabrics and colours with the help of construction is soon going to take over. And these looks will be very relaxed, easy yet extremely chic and elegant," explains Wendell.
In the West, this trend isn't new, but every season it redefines itself. This time, at the Delhi fashion week, visible change was seen in the creations showcased by various designers. "Lighter fabrics with intricate work will take centre-stage. The minimal look is soon going to become a classic trend. It is fuss-free and inspite of being minimal, it exudes sophistaction like no other. Even bridal looks can look as beautiful with the threadwork and blend of fabrics and colours. Without being OTT, yet looking chic and elegant is the highlight of this look. And if someone wants to add a little more zing, they can always accessorise this look like none other," says designer Rina Dhaka. So this fashion season, let simplicity add oomph to your look!
