Blast from the past !!!!

If anybody had any doubts about the fact that fashion repeats itself, well, we are here to clear the air. Yes, fashion is cyclical and no matter how much you try and revamp it, it’ll take you back to time, over and over again….


…like it took us back to the 60’s and 70’s this time.

International Trends 

Retro Fashion comes on and off in the forefront as we see a lot of those looks in the cover of fashion magazines and in collections of various brands. Elle, Louis Vuitton, Vogue US, Harper’s Bazaar, Grazia, Tumblr, London Evening Standard magazine.


Blast from the past!

Overly expressive faces, polka’s all over the place, walking was more of jumping and talking was more of singing- yes you guessed it right- RETRO, it is!


Those might be things of the past but that doesn’t mean they’ve completely vanished from the face of earth. At least, in the realm of fashion, they do pay a visit time and again, livening up the whole milieu with a blast from the past!



Always dreamy and busy blushing her cheeks, Margaret is wondering if her red headband is flattering her blue collar dress with white polka dots. She is convinced when she finds her matching red stilettos to team with the ensemble and there she is; ready to break a dozen hearts.


Robert doesn’t just think he is smart, he knows it and it’s not just his head that is always held up high; his bellbottoms never goes down the waist either, flashing his brown leather belt. The yellow polo shirt and green-white striped tie add all the punch to the whole look but it is his classic 60’s moustache that brings out the Robert inside of him. 



Smart and sassy, Johnny Davidson is always effortlessly cool. He hastily teamed his blue polka dot shirt with a white trouser and picked up a black and red layered bow tie, as he is late for his high school musical party. He adds that green and black checkered belt in the last minute to tote up a bit more color to his otherwise toned down look.


Rebellious Miss. Dorothy has a huge collection of records and is an avid fan of classic disco music. She is definitely not somebody to mess with which is quite evident from her appearance - bold jeans matched with striped t-shirt and those black boots definitely could beat the hell out of you. The only thing that’s a little mockery to her brash attitude is the cute polka bow clip in the head.

May this May Day ignite some change…

Harshi Tandon (design professional from New Delhi), the winner of “Let’s Stage the Drama”, a Facebook contest that we’d come up with, gave us a very challenging theme to work on with.



After hours of wracking our brains we decided that what could be better than the less spoken and unseen special bond of Humanity.

May this "May Day" ignite some change…

On May Day, while we take out time from our busy corporate schedule and relish a leisurely holiday, Harshi gave an ideation concept which kick started the day very ironically differently.

We, the Polaroid Pages team, decided to pay a visit to Sumangali Seva Ashrama, a warm and pleasant abode for orphans and underprivileged girls.















The genuine zest and affection that every single girl exhibited left us with a smile that remained all day long and it did make us realize that there is still so much love around us and yet we, more often than not, crib about the absence of it.

All that is needed is a little bit of sanguinity and a little bit of conveyance.

A special bond for you and me
A special bond we cannot see

Thanks Harshi Tandon!

Smack on the face!

Have you noticed a sudden inclination of movies towards mafia-like subjects? Not that it wasn’t there. In fact some mafia protagonists turned out to become classic in the realm of motion pictures and have influenced the way a don should look. And not just don….

…. Also the double agents that make and break them.

Motion picture trends

Above is a collection of a few gangster movies. Black, white, black, red, black black black it is and suits and body-hugging dresses are the way to get the look right.


"Smack on the face!"



Sporting a bespoke suit and a red tie, Mr. Gambino, is immersed in a pool of thoughts as he has a long day ahead to sort a lot of things out. His brown aviators along with his black watch and derby shoes and not to forget those patterned socks add zing to his intense persona without disturbing the classic look of a gangster boss!  



Ronnie and Reggie, the boss’s puppet, abducted the mayor’s daughter, Alan. Blindfolded by a piece of white cloth and wearing a boyfriend fit white shirt, Alan is unaware of the fact that this is only the beginning of all her trouble.




The boss's right arm, Miss. Mia rarely takes her glance away from him, looking tough and elegant at the same time in her fitted black dress. The brown studded belt and red heels brings out her fearless facade.




But alas! She DITCHED him!
