Verve sifts through the clutter of fashion galas and highlights 5 key elements for the upcoming season

FLOUNCES
Flirty trim details and ultra-feminine drapes add glam and glitz to any piece. Voluminous floor length gowns, artistically crafted with layers of tulle and flowing organza are reminiscent of an elaborate fairyland theme. Make a dramatic entrance with these overtly girly showstoppers!

PLEATS
Accordion, fluted or box – pleats are showing up in all kinds of creative shapes and forms in designer collections. Spicing up shirts, dresses and even necklines, they are the accent of choice for creative fashion minds.

SEQUINS
Thousands of shiny sequins are masterfully sewn together to create sheaths of sheen and lustre in vibrant hues. Exotic patterns and graphic elements magically come alive to add glistening shimmer and transform any outfit.

FRINGE
Tasselled trims and plumage make an instant impression and add a funky element to trendy dresses and cocktail saris. Taking inspiration from international runway trends, Indian fashion has become inventive with using these accents to glamourise simple ensembles.

NECKLINES
Crystal embellished, ruffled or stone studded halters and geometric necklines define an outfit, adding sensuality and character to an elegant evening dress or a simple white shirt. Dramatic and chic, alluring necklines make for head turning statement pieces.
