Fashion and film have always shared a bond that links fairytale with reality. Whether its the illusion of Prince Charming or a happily ever after, we can always count on the fashion influences to withstand the test of time.

Here’s looking at a few of Bollywood’s most iconic fashion trends…

The Anarkali:

This style of traditional attire was made famous by Madubala in the filmMughal-E-Azam. This epic movie created an impact that influences fashion till today with empire cut kurtis still very much in vogue. Be it a simple design or embellished to the tee; the Anarkali transforms any woman into the epitome of glamour.

The Bikini:

The bikini has been a debatable topic in Indian culture, but thanks to Ms. Tagore’s famous two piece scene in An Evening in Paris, the bikini depicted the coming of the modern independent woman.

The Sadhana:

She not only brought about a fashion rage with her signature fringe but her the tight fitted kurtas and churidars also had women cued up to get the Sadhana Look. She executed this snug fit style with the utmost grace and elegance which has been an inspiration for future fashions.

The Hippie Chic:

Where would we be without the relaxed hippie style? The over sized sunglasses, rudraksh beads around neck and floral prints were made popular by Zeenat Aman in the movie Hare Rama Hare Krishna. She brought the fabulous hippie chic look to Indian culture.

The Knotted Shirt:

Another bold move - showing off her bare midriff with the knotted shirt and mini shirt, Dimple Kapadia created a wave of new age style. This trend has made a comeback on the fashion circuit, with different variations.

The Jewel Adorned Saree:

Madhuri Dixit created a fashion frenzy when she donned the glamorous purple satin saree encrusted with crystals in the film Hum Aapke Hain Kaun. Every woman wanted that saree which lead to thousands of knock-offs across the country.

The Sexy Saree:

Yes, you read right! Being a traditional outfit the saree has been a symbol of grace and elegance. But, leave it to Sushmita Sen to turn this classic style to something sexy with the hot teacher look (her black and red polka dot saree in the film Main Hoon Na). Now, maybe if we had a teacher like that we’d do better at school. ;)

Haute Couture:

The Mandarin collar shirt is a classic piece of clothing that never seems to go out of fashion. The simplicity in its construction and the sophisticated look is what’s made it a fashion classic.

This shirt is the perfect pick for any occasion, if it’s class and elegance that you’re looking for, a mandarin collar shirt will work wonders – undoubtedly!

This Oriental style is easy to pull off but the grace that goes along with it – that’s all up to you!

Casual:

Team a Mandarin collar shirt with dark denims and leather boots for a smart casual look.

Formal:

If there's one piece of clothing that you can never falter, we would say it's the classic blue jeans. No doubt that coloured and printed denims have been on the fashion forefront you must agree, nothing can beat the classics.

The classic blue jeans can be worn in any style you can imagine, so it's no surprise why it's everybody’s favourite clothing choice.

How to style classic blue jeans:

Relaxed:

Laid back attitudes with a comfy pair of ripped blue jeans, a vintage print tee and neon flip flops. If ripped jeans is not your cup of tea, then a pair of regular fit denims and a crop top may be more to your liking.

Night out:

A skin tight pair of jeans that flatter your figure and a sheer top are the perfect match. For a little more sophistication pair a shimmer top with a well cut jacket. Oh, and don't forget the stilettos!

A lot can be done with a studio, a camera and some extremely awesome people. It's no wonder there's nothing ordinary about work, at Inkfruit. How are you making your days interesting?

Bulky overcoats and boxy jackets that hide your awesome shape and the dull colors don't really seam to help. However, winter does not need to be a dreaded fashion affair.

Winters are now seeing brighter and more vibrant colors; feminine cut overcoats and jackets and not to forget the floral designs that drape the winter wardrobe.

The best part about winters is the layering; cardigans, knit blouses, sweater-vests, jackets and everybody's favorite the pullover.

How To Layer:

Work:

The smartest way to layer up at work is with a well tailored jacket. You can also pair a chic sweater vest over a shirt and add a quirky printed scarf to complete your look.

Play:

You can have a lot of fun experimenting here. Pair brightly colored cardigans with a graphic tee and jeans and complete your look with quirky hand warmers. You can also pair a graphic pullover (very much in trend) with ripped jeans and colorful footwear; complete your look with a pom pom cap in spunky prints.
