When it comes to traditional



When it comes to traditional lehenga-cholis, reds have given way to peaches, pinks, lemons and even white and black. Though not on the main occasion but people don’t mind wearing a cream ensemble on the reception and a touch of black is no more considered inauspicious,” says Seema Sharma, fashion designer from Impressions-19.
Designers like Rocky S, however, feel that you can’t take tradition completely out of the trousseau. “Fashion keeps coming back and something which may be outdated can make a return as a new trend,” he says. And talking about the outlook of the younger generation, he adds, “Trends are changing, so is the attitude. The new-age bride is not tradition smitten, she wants an outfit that has a traditional touch to it but the cut and the style has to be contemporary.”
