Ruffle your fashion feathers

 

Nothing says girly like a bit of dramatic frills and ruffles. As a departure from her usual urbane and sedate self, Sara Shahid played with colour, structure and ruffles for oomph, glam and totally nailed girl fun with her 'Colour me Sublime' collection at the PFDC Sunsilk fashion week. This top in deep plum is sexy meets edgy meets sophisticated without going overboard on the ruffles so the look is sleek instead of plum pastry. Like all interesting style statements, ruffles too have the tendency to go off, so play with them with caution. Ofcourse there are many who would relegate ruffles as a thing of the past, as a relic from the gentleman's wardrobe of the Victorian era, but there's a certain structured look that ruffles create that can add visual volume to detract attention from a not so flattering part of one's body, to adding that extra vivacity to accentuate certain assets.

While Sara Shahid has opted for drama, the king of couture, Hasan Sheheryar Yasin, goes to the other end of the spectrum with an almost nude white and the most minimalistic ruffles possible to offset the glitz of the black and gold mukesh palazzo pants.

Deepak Perwani takes a cue from structured volume and sets off his printed cape with a pale white blouse accentuated heavily on the front with a clustered ruffle around the upper half for drama in an other wise free flowing silhouette.

The flower power hit fashion in New York when Ralph Lauren outfitted his English roses in multi-tiered gowns akin to a flamingo dress, while Zac Posen transformed a simple white dress into a layered, statement-making frock, and Jennifer Lopez, in her usual avatar, presented flirty dresses with a dash of sass.
