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.

Bells of Joy

Now that Christmas is fast approaching and people had long ago started getting into the celebration mood, the streets and displays around stores and malls presented the same merry like fervor.

"Bells of Joy"

 

It’s red, bright, cheery, jolly, frisky, snowy, perky………and it’s all over the place! With a big cherry nose and long white beard, wearing huge black-boots and a suit of red and of course the long red cap, comes Santa Claus on his fabulous reindeer-driven sleigh. But does he come on just one special night or is he there all year round?

Indeed, he is!

Every individual comes across his own Santa some time or the other, a Santa who brings smile on your face, twinkle in your eyes and gives you a moment to cherish; turning the tables around, in different walks of life, even we wear the Santa cap for someone somewhere.

Not just about merrymaking but with this post we also celebrate the joy of giving!

Chapter One

 The girl and the moon

One frosty night, when the moon was crescent and the stars were bright, a cheery girl whose profound dreams had just come true, sat right there, in her own surreal sky, savoring every moment of it!

The girl, living her dream, wore blue polka dress and matching ballets with a red scarf, conveying her moment of joy through what she was wearing.

Chapter Two

The lad and the gift cart

Once upon a time, there lived a benign lad who moved from place to place carrying his marvelous cart filled with gifts and distributing them to one and all, thus, ringing the bells of joy and casting spells of glee and delight wherever he went.

Flashing his very humble smile, this joy-giving lad wore a plain white shirt and light blue faded denim teamed with red winter vest and matching shoes and, not to forget, the Santa cap!

Chapter three

The man and his reindeer-driven sleigh

Under the vast glittering skies, roving around the world riding the enchanted reindeer driven sleigh, a witty young man covered miles with the sole mission of spreading smiles.

Wearing a snowy white shirt and matching blazer with his blue trousers and shoes, red-white striped socks and his geeky specs and, yet again, the Santa cap, this vivacious man soared away in his magnificent magical coupé.

Chapter Four

The lady and the little dwarfs

Far far away, in the kingdom of Fairyland, lived a charming lady in the humble abode of the adorable little dwarfs, who’d go off to explore from time to time but the moment they were back, it was time to whoop it up like no one in Fairyland far and wide could ever imagine.

This young lady, dressed at her best, wearing red snowflake printed shirt over a bright white dress and pairing it up with red sandals and of course the Santa cap!

Merry Christmas and a very happy new year !!!
