After Hrs puts together standout runway looks which emit the festival's boho spirit...
Coachella is the comfort zone for bohemia. As a style watcher, I look forward to seeing the looks at the fest each year. For the fashion circuit, it serves as a great reference point for the entire year,” says Anaita Shroff Adajania, Fashion Director, Vogue India. In the style almanac, Coachella is definitely the week of high-decibel boho hysteria. It’s that time of the year when style junkies indulge in stargazing and kaftan gawking at the fest.
Azmina Rahimtoola, Owner, Atosa shares, “This year I have seen a lot of crochet bralets, paisley print dresses and fringed jackets with boots. Multiple loud, statement-making jewellery.”
Crochet, henna bindis, denim micro shorts, bralets and exaggerated jewellery have been the key essentials of the C-lexicon. For those who’re clueless about the fest, it is an annual music and arts festival held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, located in the Inland Empire’s Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert.
This week Kendall Jenner broke the Internet with her nipple ring and Saint Laurent’s palm print was seen on Justin Beiber, March Jacobs and Alessandra Ambrosio (check the inset pic). We asked some of the leading style arbiters to pick some runways looks which capture the essence of Coachella.
Anaita Shroff Adajania, Stylist
Saint Laurent
It has all the elements of a viral look! Denim, mesh, metallics and the supercool tiara.
Altuzarra
Double split tie dye for that perfect fresh festival charm
Anthony Vaccarello
Jersey at its sexiest, leggy and how!
Isabel Marant
The metallic parka is the perfect add on to any look. Trade the high neck for a lose knotted vest.
Azmina Rahimtoola, Owner, Atosa
Malini Ramani
First name that comes to mind is of Malini Ramani who did a fantastic line at Amazon. Her one-shoulder top with funky embroidery recently was sold out at my store. I'd love to wear it with sexy hot shorts.
Monisha Jaising
Her Lakme line fits into that look completely.
Payal Khandwala
She showcased some interesting boho tops which can be worn with denim shorts. Also her easy flowy tops and sheer organza jackets can be a cool layering options over bralets.
Valliyan by Nitya Arora
I'd love to complete Payal's look with OTT and statement-making Valliyan neckpieces.
Pernia Qureshi, fashion entrepreneur
Nishka Lulla
Her dungaree dress is cut, boho and '70s old school with a whimsical and retro vibe.
Masaba
Her kurta with chili print skirt is super chic and boho.
Quirk Box
Their shiftdresses sending out the message that it's not fashion but art represents hippie chic.
Ka Sha
This label is always boho with its great layering.
Roohi Jaikishan, fashion buyer
Monisha Jaising
Her crochet jumpsuit is perfect for Coachella.
Verandah
The label's cotton kaftans can be paired with boots.
Quirk Box
They did amazing bags with artsy slogans. The cross stitch prints can be worn with torn jeans.
Valliyan
The label's headgears and earrings will be great accessories.
