Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2010 is happening in full swing attended by fashion lovers from all over. And if you are of the many that are well-updated on the page 3 news and celeb pics flashing on the Internet and TV, you would know that LFW has proved yet again that we are getting back to our roots, at least when it comes to style and fashion.
Combining the most contemporary patterns and cuts with ultra earthy hues and tones with fabrics like linen, cotton, handmade fabrics...designers showcased the most chic garments in the most ethnic style.
Sabyasachi has always been known for his earthy styles, but who joined his league this season were Malini Ramani with her creations in shades of beige, browns and chocolate; Swapnil Shinde with his spring colours with dashes of dull grey, blue and yellow; Rocky S too, with his bridal collection showed his love for earthy tones that are rarely used for Indian bridal wear.
Even movie stars seem to love the new trend. Saw Vidya Balan at the 55th Filmfare Awards night? The subtle makeup coupled with earthy toned saree and the rudraksha neckpiece went just perfect together.
If it's not the actual garment, it's either the embroidery or the handwork or antique-look jewellery and accessories or the makeup...in some way or the other, earthy, ethnic fashion is catching up big time!
