Fashion Police

Yes! You heard it right. Neon colours debuted on the international fashion runways in late 2019, now they have taken to the streets.

What if you were only wearing a sleeveless tee and a knee length skirt? It is bound to get chilly in a bit.

Wares Abdullah, one of our favourite designers, spared no effort to work on some dazzling kurtis for this Qurbani Eid, bringing forward a few of his selected best.

I think we have had enough of red, orange and fuchsia already! The summer heat somehow exaggerates the bright colours and turns them into a nauseating mix.

The luscious colours of the latest collection of MAYASIR BY MAHEEN KHAN encourage a splurge into poetry since the colours are vivacious and perfectly suitable for summer, which is already brimming with the charming hues borrowed from nature.

If you thought it was only the ladies who enjoyed wearing traditional, then you are probably out of touch with style! And it’s about time this misconception is cleared out.

But alas! Where do we get this kind of greenery in a world full of chaos, concrete and black soot? The answer lies only 3-feet away from where we enjoy our daily meals. It stands in the balconies that each of us own, in that tiny apartment of ours, a place most of us love to call home.

Rain, shine, work from home or not — you must always be in your best possible appearance! Not only because it is pleasing to others, but because it keeps your mood uplifted and your mind fresh.

But this article is not about despondency; fashion and styling can never be about anything but excitement! We need to learn to enjoy our time, wherever it maybe. So, we say, let’s not stop keeping ourselves from being trendy and hip, even if we are staying at home and staying safe.

Ever imagine going to a wellness retreat for a week or so, completely secluded from the outside world? No matter how hefty it maybe on the wallet, most of us have jotted down the option on our individual bucket lists.

Halter necks, spaghetti straps or a lovely sheath dress — any one of these words can conjure a vivid image of a fun night-out with that special someone. Coco Chanel iconised the little black dress, while Christian Dior mainstreamed leopard prints and silk chiffons.

I know I am not the only one feeling hopeless at the moment. However, I do believe that I have also found a nice way to divert my attention and boost my mind through all this.

This Eid, let things go back to the old flow, and that is with a splurge on peach and pastels. For the evening homely events, we can always opt for the darker shades like brown, navy blue, black, olive green, and greys.

And right she was. Flamingo pink saris with the unique motifs imprinted on them and black anarkalis with the deshi jewellery prints only made the designs stand out.

Tea and coffee will be flowing in as you browse through panels of saris, from comfortable cottons to sensuous chiffons.

All apparels are artfully arranged, every piece of clothing is carefully pinned and belted in position. The flow of the long robes and gowns are theatrical, with every pattern embellishing the garment in a perfect composition — almost like poetry. This very styling has trickled down from the land of the demi-gods and seeped into the fashion culture of the mortals.

Dewan, famous for her patchwork and unconventional cuts and stitches, does not fail to blow our minds with her latest spring wardrobe.

Call us impatient, but here at Star Lifestyle, we always try to stay one step ahead in the game of styling. So, when the rest of the country is still dealing with the woes of winter, we march ahead, already pondering over the attires for coming spring.

Once through the collection, they are most likely to find faux furs and foreign shawls — clothes that would seem only repetitive today and prove no valid point, much less make any worthy statements.

And that is perhaps the gist of the story behind ‘Club TAAGA BBQ Night,’ an event organised by Club TAAGA, on 8 December, welcoming winter in Bangladesh with an eventful celebration that highlighted both fashion and an imperative social cause — Saying No to Plastic.
