"RIOT"

When the whole milieu is blanketed by so many colors, how do you stand out and be vibrant at the same time? 

Well, the answer is, defy all assumptions and add some more color to your ensemble. Come alive; if you were happy- be happier, if you were partying- party harder, if you were chuckling, burst out laughing, but do not hesitate to put that extra effort to look chirpier. Yes, you do have to be a li'l spunky to go ahead with it. But after all, what's fashion with fearlessness!

Mocking at those who couldn't dare pull it off. His plain pink polo neck t-shirt over a bold blue jeans is just brings out the frisky and funny personality in him.

The ecstasy on her face is shouting out loud though her clothes. Matching up a green flared tube top with a mustard yellow sweater, she looks absolutely fresh and vibrant.

A dreamer he is which is quite evident from what he's wearing- an indigo blue polka dot polo neck t-shirt teamed with red pants and white belt. Totally out of the world!

Poised and pretty, she flashes her million dollar smile as she feels confident in her gorgeous red dress. People are really giving up on little-red-dresses but well maybe it’s about time to get them right in.

He doesn't shy away from looking all young and childlike in his Sash blue-preppy pink polo neck t-shirt and, to top it all, a pair of foam green denims. Who would have thought  something so colorful could look so good.

Electric blue has a long way to go as it has only recently been accepted by some few nervy ones- just like this dauntless young lady, who is completely enjoying every bit of her one shouldered dress with lace layer from the waist.

TRIBAL ECHO

This summer, do not hesitate to pull out all the junk jewelries that you'd kept lying in one corner of your wardrobe and dare to team them up with ethnic prints or even traditional hand-painted garments and accessories cos this is just the right season to go "tribal".

"Tribal Echo"

What's funny is that while tribes across the world are oblivious to even the word "fashion", intrepid fashionistas are going gaga over ethnic prints and designs. From shoes to stoles, dresses to denims, bangles to bags- everything is going wild with the tribe vibe! The tribal look is sexy, quirky, smart and vibrant and yes it does make you stand out in the crowd.

So, splurge on!

Boho-tribal; she carries a dreamy-mystical look about herself which is all the more enhanced by her aztec printed colorful top accompanied by a beige waistcoat over it and military shorts. The rings, bangles and gladiators add a lot of tribal essence and the embroidered sling bag just completes the entire look of a stylish vagabond.

Geeky-tribal; reluctantly putting his book down to show off his checkered shirt with ethnic prints in the yoke, inner cuff and collar, teamed with a muted green t-shirt and cargo pants. His matching brown belt and boots add a bit of a ruggedness to the ensemble of the geeky lad and that colorful aztec printed scarf along with the patchwork jhola bag hanging from the ladder perks it all up.

 Chic-tribal; standing bold and brazen in between the whole pile of mess, she carries herself elegantly in her hand-painted yellow dress with a navy blue blazer over it. Her aztec shoes, blue neckpiece, rings and hair pins on her braids intensifies the tribal look keeping the classy element intact.

The Dark Shadows

Dark glamour has always been a part of the fashion closet.

(Auxilary magazine, Yale university press, uncommon creatures fall2010, wiki, L’officiel Brazil – Fabiano Pedrollo, Interveiw magazine, Harpers bazaar Spain, Unholywood, Billy Ballard) 

"The Dark Shadows"

As she slowly closes her eyes and shuts herself from the reality that lies beyond, as the brightness of the outer world metamorphoses into gloomy darkness and all she can see is nothing, and as she descends deep down into the whirlpool of shadows trying hard to shove off her creepiness, she falls into a misty pit and for a minute the world comes to a halt. Bit by bit the mist disappears and she realizes that she is not alone in this darkness and that’s when she sees them….

….and that’s when chill runs down her spine….

As the spiteful sight of the malicious satan comes to vision, she knows that there’s no escaping from here. He always appears with his black hat and gray overcoat on, over his black henley tee, denim and boots. The chains hanging around his neck symbolizes his way of torture…..

….. he strangles his prey.

This horrifying wicked vampire walks down the alley wearing a black leather overcoat over her skull printed shirt and denim and not to forget, her brown studded belt and boots…

…her lust for blood can be seen all over her face.

As overly gorgeous as she may be, this seductress demon jinxes her victims with her charm and beauty. She is wearing a grey halter dress, her black blazer hanging on her shoulder, and black stockings and boots. And there she is, eagerly waiting to cast spells of misery upon them all.

Yes, he is a guard but you’re anything but safe around him cos he’s the devil’s guard. He stands tall in his brown hoodie beneath the black blazer, denims and oxford shoes….

…Come closer to him, thinking he might be your savior, and you’ll choke to death on his toxic smoke.

"that one thing in my closet"

 "that one thing in my closet" 

This post is dedicated to “that something” in our closet that we would never wish to part with.

“That one thing” which we at some point of time had either inherited or bartered for or simply grabbed it by hook or crook.

Each one of us at Polaroid brought together “that something special” for this story. We also thought of sharing the truths behind how each one attained that curio, but then on second thoughts we really didn't wish to unearth the evil side of ours ;)
