From making a style statement to creating on-screen avatars, fashion in Bollywood has evolved over a period of time. A look at how Bollywood designers have influenced our dress sense in the past and present
Indian fashion couturiers had often considered themselves quite a breed, apart from Bollywood designers, till just a few years ago. There was a distinct borderline between designers who dressed the stars and those who dressed the socialites and fashionistas. Then, somewhere down the line, Bollywood designers wanted to dress the fans of the stars and the haute couturiers didn’t think it was such a bad idea dressing the divas of the silver screen. So, do Indian fashion designers create images for the stars and set trends or do Bollywood designers influence the way you dress and change the way the stars look? Going by the past incidents it is apparent that images and trends are very easily created by Bollywood’s designers.
