Traditional styles blend with contemporary visions in a trend influenced by the rich and vibrant country of India. New India inspires a cosmopolitan lifestyle, while national pride is embodied in an unwavering devotion to cricket and travellers seeking out unique cultural experiences.

Fashion interpretation:

Inspired by modernized Indian elements this trend incorporates a vibrant and opulent colour palette. This rich palette combines vivid violet, vibrant coral, citrus green and shocking pink, whilst the colonial military aspect of the trend is represented through tones of duck egg blue, raspberry pink and sepia. The clashing of colours with an earthy base tone is key. Haphazard layers cinched with a belt create an eclectic and slightly bohemian silhouette. Multiple prints styled together, coupled with natural fabrics and combined with tactile silks and wovens, leather sandals and accessories complete this look. Slick tailoring coupled with Eastern elements, smooth and luxury styled fabrics enable this trend to contrast between minimalist styling and flashes of opulent print. Gloss contrasts with matte effects create a formal sports style as Enlighten takes inspiration from traditional cricket styles, while an aged military edge harks back to India’s imperial past.
