The India Influence

Celebrations of Indian clothing are seen in large strokes across the recent spring/summer runway. Sometimes in factual translations, like dresses sparkling with embellishment in silhouettes mimicking lehengas, and other times through luxurious colors pulled from memories of unforgettable Indian adventures. The gracefulness between West and East is more evident than ever this season. What is certain is that India’s influence for spring/summer has allowed for something more varied and a wide net of influence that is steeped in a rich appreciation for all things Indian! Borrow It Bindaas explores the catwalks of this season to see who has the exact Indian touch!

Matthew Williamson

Matthew Williamson has visited India over 40 times. He experienced the Holi festival in one of his trips, and the idea of carnival-goers throwing brightly colored powders over each other really had him thinking, moreover he drew on this for the powder prints in his Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

Matthew Willaimson

Pinks bled into whites on a smooth sheath dress with ambers dripped into ochres over a mountainous scene printed on Bermuda shorts, all of which were brought to life from Matthew Willamson’s colorful India memories.

Marchesa

Marchesa is one of our favorite designers who also found their influence in just a beat of a heart from India this season! Layered gowns were fashioned to form saree-like shapes. Meticulously arranged crystals sat encrusted on radiant fuchsia tones, while a white lehenga inspired two-piece dress floated with feather-like softness down the runway.

marchea1Untitled

We love how the result of the line honored Indian costumes with evolution towards modernity while retaining the classic elegance and modification of our traditions. This season’s designer, Georgina Chapman said that she used traditional Indian techniques and that the silhouettes are embellished with pearls and crystals.

Vera Wang

Vera Wang’s use of layering coupled with South Asian textures, colors, prints, and embroideries. Her inspiration was the masculine tailoring of Indian men’s traditional dress with the delicate grace of saree, and new less literal translation of Indian glamor.

verawang1Untitled

The sumptuous, intricate brocades, gauzy ikats, and the deep color palette of jade, sapphire, and gold were suggestive of India. We think Vera Wang’s dance with the country and its sweeping history and luscious visual liveliness was expertly assembled.

verawang2Untitled

Mary Katrantzou

Mary Katrantzou sure knows how to command a crowd, and she sure knows how to command a print to do something different with it and move it on to a whole new place. Her Spring/Summer collection was of beautiful old Indian stamps splashed with symbolic birds, icons, national symbols, history, and works of art.

MK1

She used earthy tones of amber and green to represent India’s rich agriculture wealth, and hints of fresh blue to represent the all-year sunshine and blue skies India experiences. The zig-zag lines are not only to represent the stamps’ edges but also the hundred of railway lines that goes around India. We love how Mary’s perception of the line was more about the stories and print!

mk2Untitled

So there it is! The richness of India’s visual heritage is always an inspiration to abroad designers. The embroideries and color from India are so magnificent that they will always be an influence in the fashion industry. What’s your take? Leave us and comment and let us know!

Memoirs of a Bindaas Diva

This month we’d like to take the time to thank our Bindaas Diva Erika, who wrote us a heart-warming email about her rental experience….

2013-04-27 15.50.11

From the very beginning, the customer service is what made me confident about the process. It was my first time attending an Indian Islamic wedding and the glossary in the In’s and Outs section was very helpful in helping me understand the pieces. The collection was absolutely beautiful and I ended up selecting the Raven Black Sharara and my husband rented the Azul De Mar Kurta Pajama. The response I got at the event when I wore my Borrow It Bindaas items was that people thought I looked stunning! I felt beautiful and plus I wore the free headpiece that the team sent as a little gift with my package. The return process was very easy especially not having to fuss with return shipping costs. 

Overall, Borrow It Bindaas’ excellent customer service is what made the experience extraordinary. When my husband’s first kurta didn’t fit, the team rushed another one before we left OH for FL.  I felt like the Borrow it Bindaas stylists were my personal shoppers helping me find an appropriate piece for an Indian/Islamic wedding and also for my body type.  I was in unchartered waters so I definitely appreciated the guidance. Well done Borrow It Bindaas!

Celebrity Spotlight: Neha Dhupia

neha-dhupia-the-gossip-monger-c5f1b2d6

Sometimes she dazzles in a funky dress and other times she goes classy in a feminine gown. Yet this diva makes great style statements on the red carpet almost every time. She sure does have style and no one can challenge it! In this edition of Celebrity Spotlight, Borrow It Bindaas features the striking actress, Neha Dhupia!

Neha-Dhupia

Hard to believe but Neha doesn’t have a stylist to dress her at red carpet events or when she has to make public appearances! Her mother and friend, Chola tell her what works and what doesn’t!

Neha-Dhupia1

Her favorite international designers are Paco Rabanne and Stella McCartney. She likes Victoria Beckham for the simple and clean cuts and Diane von Furstenberg because of the feminine clothes. Her favorite Indian designers include Masaba, Gaurav Gupta, Anamika Khanna, Sabyasachi Muckherjee, and Rohit Bal.

neha-dhupia-gq-best-dressed-men-2012-magazine-event

We love how innovative Neha is when it comes to mixing and matching! For example her lehenga look-skirt with a blazer! Or that one time when she wore a red Victoria Beckham dress and wore it again with an embellished jacked and Indian jewelry.

304303_10152399211220413_1235347889_n

Neha’s must have accessories are shoes and sunglasses. She loves shoes from slippers to knee-length boots! She once also revealed that she couldn’t do without a watch! “I just can’t do without a big dial watch. Watches are my weakness. I love to hoard as many watches I can. And I feel a big dial black or white or chrome watch can instantly add oomph to a dull and simple look.” We can’t agree more with Neha’s statement!

MG0250

Her fashion icons include Hollywood diva Audrey Hepburn and Bollywood diva Sonam Kapoor. “I love Audrey Hepburn for her classic style and elegance. And in India it is Sonam Kapoor as she carries herself very well be it Indian wear or western vintage outfits that she accessories it with a quirk. I feel that I’m in a happy space now and I love it this way”.

toifa-neha

You will tend to see Neha in white, black, and gray a lot. Those tend to be her favorite colors!

kpc4

Neha also has plans to venture into fashion e-commerce, as she herself is an online shopping addict. She says, “I myself shop for shoes and clothes all the time from various sites and if I can get to see what the dress I wish to buy will look like on me in as good as a 3D avatar. What more can I ask for? It’s a boon for all of us e-shoppers.”

neha_dhupia_lfw_600x450

Since Neha is known to be one of the better dressed women in Bollywood and is usually spotted in desirable creations by top designers. She also has a large number of followers on Twitter, and these two factors were instrumental in Neha being chosen for Twitter face for Wills Lifestyle Fashion Week this past season!

She loves to wear what she feels comfortable in, yet she’s very fashionable. However she always looks different and takes risks while always getting it right!

Ask any groom or their groomsmen if they’ve ever worn their sherwani/kurta from their wedding or their friends wedding chance are you’ll either hear no or maybe once in the last few years.
