The Trend to Try This Season – David Bowie’s 80’s Psychedelia

A major influence in music and fashion, David Bowie was and still remains a treasured household name, especially in the western hemisphere. Freakily stylish, David was a popular showy mod as he wore ensembles that expressed his individuality and his fondness for sexually enduring costumes. This Autumn/Winter 2016 season, many designers including British luxury brand, Burberry showcased their collections inspired by the late singer. To celebrate his glamourous persona, we picked out four Bollywood celebrities that have worn vintage inspired outfits in the past, and also suggest extravagant AW16 clothes that would suit them.

Kangana Ranaut

Kangana, being the showgirl that she is, has definitely set the fashion bar high especially when it pertains to channelling her inner Audrey Hepburn. A hint of her enjoys being the centre of attention and missioning herself away from the crowd. David Bowie’s extravagation style has surely impacted her way of dressing and we would recommend her to wear more androgynous ensembles that challenge the mythical norms in our society.

Sonam Kapoor

Another fashionista that has uniquely crafted an enamelling place in the Indian fashion scene. Sonam, time and again, has proved that beauty symbolises growth, and this has quietly impacted her stylistic attitude as well. Ever charming and alluring, this Bollywood brunette has tried both vintage as well as modern dressing. We recommend timeless and classic dresses to her that signify the glorifying blossom in her.

Priyanka Chopra

Hollywood heiress, Priyanka Chopra has a fresh and delicate perspective when it comes to fashion. Being dark skinned, outfits that exude a glowing representation would suit her. Be it the 80’s glam rock or the richness of the 70’s, her style has Bowie’s carvings all over it. We recommend a fundamentally feisty outfit that matches her go-to fashion formula of always dressing stunningly.

Aishwariya Rai

Aishwariya Rai always shines like a diamond, especially in the fashion sphere. Like her glowing skin, her style too calibrates a starry aspect. Vintage is surely her arena, and luxury brands such as Elie Saab have an intimate affection with her. We recommend flowy, natural gowns that reflect a sense of tricky drama, and represent artistic vintage appeal.
