Sarees are no longer merely traditional Indian clothing. Experimenting with the saree to get the perfect and unique look has given rise to new quirky trends and revived the appearance of this classic Indian garment. Let’s have a look at some interesting and fun saree ideas…reports N. LOTHUNGBENI HUMTSOE
Belt it
Belt saris are popular these days. Simply put on your saree as usual and add a belt that cinches around your waist at your pallu. A Kamar bandh could be worn instead of the belt for a more traditional look.
Dhoti style
This is another saree design that is gaining popularity due to its distinct appearance. It differs from a traditional saree in that the bottom has a dhoti-style weaving, and a legging must be worn inside instead of a petticoat.
Mermaid-inspired
A lovely drapery technique that spreads out the lower half of the pleats to resemble a mermaid’s tail. This saree appears to need a lot of effort, yet all it requires are a few more tucks and pleats.
The Saree with pants
In addition to its flashy appearance, a saree with a pant design is also incredibly comfortable. It is great if you want to stand out throughout the wedding season!
Pallu in front
In this saree style, the pallu is worn back to front rather than front to back. This pallu pattern stands out without compromising the saree’s individuality.
Gown style, pre-stitched
If you want to pull off this style effectively, you must have a killer blouse. You can experiment with your blouse as much as you want with the pre-stitched gown design. Consider embellishments such as sequins, a net, a jacket-style bodice or a peplum-style bodice.
Placing a brooch on a saree
If you want to present your best face in terms of styling, go a slightly different route. Get a trendy brooch and pin it to your pallu for a fashionable look.

Vaishali S to showcase at Milan Fashion Week 2022(IANSLIFE)
The company was founded by designer Vaishali S because of her passion for traditional Indian textiles…reports Asian Lite News
In July 2021, Indian fashion designer Vaishali S made her international debut at the Paris Haute Couture Week. This year, she returns to Milan Fashion Week to debut her collection, “Ancestral Threads”.
In this collection, Vaishali’s distinctive sense of style highlights pret-a-porter clothing. She uses a variety of fabrics and supplies for the collection, including pricey West Bengali silks and lavish silks from Maheshwar and Karnataka, to create her trademark cording technique.
Her inspiration acts as the collection’s muse, transcending space and time. In “Ancestral Threads,” she goes into further detail on her ongoing love of nature and its importance in our lives.
According to the designer, it honours every single facet of nature, from the “hot summer tones” to the “timeless whites and off-whites.” The brand’s dedication to sustainability, with a focus on technological traceability, is evident in every product in the portfolio.
The company was founded by designer Vaishali S because of her passion for traditional Indian textiles. It has been working since July 2001 to create a common design language for the Indian handloom weave. Brands from all over the world have been looking for Indian artisans for the past 4,000 years, and Vaishali is now giving handloom weavers an international platform.
Speaking about her collection, Vaishali S. said, “I am happy that with my design I am finally putting back our precious Indian hand weaves to the platform they deserve. Doing this through sustainability and zero waste, enhanced by technology is just giving further voice to our homegrown strengths.”
She has various honours and recognitions to her name, including Membre Invite at Paris Haute Couture in July 2021. She has already won three times as the Indian Designer of the Year, the Best Trending in NYFW, and the Edida Award.

Camila was photographed enjoying the Italian fashion house’s latest collection while Gigi took the catwalk by storm…reports Asian Lite News
Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio has reportedly joined supermodel Gigi Hadid for her work at the Milan Fashion Week (MFW) amid rumours that they’re dating.
On Monday, the Daily Mail released photos of the 47-year-old actor hanging out with his friends in Milan.
In the snapshots, the ‘Don’t Look Up’ actor could be seen wearing a baseball cap with his casual outfit, reports aceshowbiz.com.
Prior to the sighting, Entertainment Tonight reported that Leo is in Milan with the model.
“They are fully seeing each other,” a source added of the couple, who was first linked earlier this month.
A separate source claimed: “Gigi and Leo are the real deal. They’ve been hanging out a lot and are very into each other. Things are going well between them and they’re both happy.”
The source also claimed that Hadid, who shares a two-year-old daughter Khai with her former boyfriend Zayn Malik, invited the ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ leading man to attend the fashion event with her.
Gigi walked the runway for Versace’s Spring/Summer 2023 show on September 23 during MFW and a perhaps too familiar face was sitting front row, Leonardo’s former girlfriend Camila Morrone.
Camila was photographed enjoying the Italian fashion house’s latest collection while Gigi took the catwalk by storm.
Hadid and DiCaprio are reportedly dating as the actor is reportedly “pursuing” the 27-year-old beauty following his recent split from Camila. Further fueling the romance rumours, the two were spotted getting cozy at a party in New York City on September 10.
After their first sighting together in NYC, it’s said that Gigi and Leo’s possible romance is “upsetting” for Zayn, whom the model dated for nearly six years.
“Zayn still has hopes of reuniting with Gigi, they’re on good terms right now for their daughter’s sake but he’s made it clear he would love another chance with her so all of this news about her and Leo has been upsetting for him,” an insider told HollywoodLife.com on September 15.
“Gigi is doing her best to manage it all, but it’s definitely stirring up drama on Zayn’s side that she’s having to deal with.”

Hair colour can enhance a person’s personality and character. Some people change their hair colour for a change, while others do so to seem different. It could also mean a sense of relief for those who are going through a major transition or under extreme stress.

Florian speaks about everything about hair dye with Schwarzkopf Professional’s extension of the Royal Igora launch.
What method of DIY hair colouring at home is the safest? How can one achieve a salon-quality look at the home?
Hair colouring is an art and one really devotes time to achieving perfection in mastering it. I would personally recommend you to visit a salon for hair colour and let the experts do their job.
Is the only way to achieve the ideal colour for hair dye bleaching?Florian: Not at all! You do not have to bleach your hair to achieve the desired hair colour. Professional brands like Schwarzkopf Professional are working on curating colour formulations that do not harm your hair while protecting the roots. The latest revamp of the hair color range by Schwarzkopf Professional addresses this very concern, offering an incredible formulation curated for all kinds of hair. Igora Royal assures stunning performance and 100% reliability. All the shades are perfectly inter-mixable, so it’s easy to work with Dual Application Techniques for a true colour match across the different Igora ranges without damaging the hair. Most colors are integrated with fiber bond technology that minimizes breakage.
What hair colouring product do you prefer to use?
As an artist, I am not in a position to compromise with clients who invest their faith in me. I only believe in using the best to deliver the best. The latest hair color range- Igora Royal by Schwarzkopf Professional is my holy grail these days. The formulation is great, the packaging is sustainable and it guarantees protection to virgin hair.
How would you describe the Schwarzkopf Professional’s Royal Igora extension?
IGORA ROYAL, known for its standard-setting innovation continues to be the expert name synonymous with Hair Colour. From classic expertise to fashion trends and inspiration, the brand offers the most advanced, high-performance & reliable solutions for all color services and therefore has been the trusted choice of hairdressers.

What value do Schwarzkopf Professionals bring, and why do they require your skills?
Schwarzkopf Professional continues to deliver better formulation with every range that they bring to the table along with powerful color performance. I feel as a hairstylist, I can bridge the gap of information between the brand and its audience
