Fashion Forecast 2007
While greys, pinks and lace are set to dominate wardrobes in
2007, the natural look will be preferred as far as make up goes,
say fashion gurus.
According to designer Priya Kataria, both knee length and long
dresses will be in fashion in 2007. "The palette will offer hues
like greys, off-whites, beiges, rose pink and other shades of
pink," she says.
"This season, people would like to go for well-styled dresses
rather than going for jeans and tops. 2007 will bid goodbye to
heavy embroidery but laces will be more than welcome," Kataria
told IANS.
Pooja Arya, also a fashion expert, says the coming year may
bring back the retro trends of the 1930's and 1940's.
"People will either opt for straight fit skinny pants or very
flared full pants. Buttoned skirts and exaggerating silhouettes
will make a come back. Minimal to smaller prints will be in
vogue and a lot of geometry will rule this season," Arya
predicts.
The designer believes there will be unconventional combinations
like metallic juxtaposed with rough denim and sporty clothing
contrasted with glitter. The season will favour sequence work
but not much of traditional embroidery.
"A lot of funky jewellery will be teamed with casual wear. Hats,
scarves and big bags will be happening this season."
Yellow gold and diamonds will continue to dominate the jewellery
trends, according to jewellery designer Alpana Gujral.
"Long pendant necklaces, wide cuffs, chunky bracelets and slim
chains around the waist will be seen on ladies this season."
Gujral admits that individual choice will reign supreme but
contemporary designs would be apt for everyday wear while
traditional jewellery goes well for special occasions. She said
that international designs too are likely to have an Indian
influence.
"In 2007, coloured stones are the ones you should hop on to
while white gold is the metal you should stay away from," Gujral
remarks.
Well-known hair and make-up expert Shahnaz Hussain feels natural
long hair and soft curls will definitely be in.
"For women, straight hair with broken texture or jagged edges is
out. The more natural look will be back with plenty of movement
- more flowing and with a look of ease. Long hair with cascading
waves and curls with softer look will be in," Huusain says.
She adds: "For special occasions, one section of hair pinned up
with glamorous accessories and the other left loose will be in
fashion. During daytime, hair tied in a low ponytail, with
ribbons hanging loose and velvet bands will make a comeback."
For short hair, the slightly tousled look is predicted. Not
harsh or obviously structured, but a careless and casual look
will be in. The uniform curls, or straight cuts will be out and
a soft and natural layered look will be trendy.
As regards hair colour, subtle and natural highlights will be in
vogue, according to Hussain.
The natural look will dominate make-up trends as well.
"The dewy look will be in for the younger lot. Light tinted
moisturisers will find favour rather than foundation for both
day and night," says Hussain.
The expert advises that less mascara be used in eye make-up and
colours like browns, burgundy and purple, with a smudged and
smoky look, be used for lining the eyes.
"For eye shadow, purple tones will be popular - like lilac,
mauve and purple itself."
Frosted sheen, or shimmer will stay popular for the lips. Lip
liners will match the lipstick - there will be no obvious line
around lips. In lipsticks, red and shades of red will make a
comeback.
"Colours like lilac, mauve and rose will find favour for the
day. Orange will be definitely out. For the night, bright
metallic colours should be in."
As for nails, pinks are a complete no-no and dark colours like
burgundy and chocolate brown will help make a style statement.
