FLORAL SHEATH A sheath floral dress worn with a pair of beige pumps spells unadulterated vintage glam, perfect for a day look. We teamed it with subtle makeup — pearl base finish and peach lips. Vintage fashion icon Marilyn Monroe believed in pearl finish base, and used petroleum jelly under her foundation. We used the same trick and got stunning results. Multiple coats of mascara finished the look.

istory repeats itself and so does fashion. Going by global fashion trends, it seems that old Hollywood glamour is back with a bang. The trend popped up on the runway in the recent shows in New York, London and Milan. Closer home, Bollywood’s fashion forwards are also experimenting with vintage looks. We re-created three vintage looks in a modern context. Inspired by the very glamorous old Hollywood era, these looks are very real and very doable when you want to renew vintage charm with a dash of modernity.
LADYLIKE ELEGANCE A navy blue lace dress featuring a white bow neck is just right when you want to keep it classic, feminine and elegant. Add a dose of Old Hollywood glam with side-swept curls and grey stone earrings. We completed the look with oxblood lips, winged liner and multiple coats of mascara.
I think the vintage era celebrated a woman’s beauty in the most stunning ways. From hairdos to dresses and makeup, everything was so effortlessly feminine. NIKHIL MEHRA, DESIGNER

FIERCE ROMANTICISM This look re-imagines romanticism in a bold, fearless way. An ink blue corset dress worn with a blazer livened up with metal detailing makes for a romantic, yet grounded and self-assured look. Pop red lips, winged eyes, strong brows and wavy hair work well for an evening look.
