Make this winter stylish with woollens

As winter knocks on the doors, stock up on a mix of clothes with Bohemian and hippie influences. From asymmetrical jackets, heavy knit mufflers, Grecian-draped knits to peplums and bejewelled headbands - get stylish this season.

Clothes, accessories and new styles - Indian designers suggest a range of options you could use to glam up both everyday life and the party.

"There are many trends and options for women this season, especially for those who like boho chic, floral and gothic looks. People can experiment with them in the most daring manner if they want to stand out, or wear them wisely to look stylish and cool," designer Pam Mehta says.

"But before you choose your clothes, it is important that people identify their strongest body feature and then highlight it with the right attire. Also, it would do great if you learn the tricks to conceal your problem areas with smart layering," says designer Aniket Satam.

"Layering is the key to keep you warm yet chic this winter. Don't simply pile on clothes. Rather invest in smart winter separates, which you can layer to create unique style lines," Satam said.

Some trends in vogue this season are the peplum or fit-and-flare skirts in dense palette like burgundy, sapphire and teal, which add warmth to the eye. One can team them with dainty flimsy georgette lady-like blouses with retro prints.

The faux fur look continues its successful run this year too.

"The leather with fur trimmings, fake fur vests, jackets, boleros, scarves with fake fur trimmings are all in vogue. Also skinny jeans and tights tucked into boots enhance the chic woman in you," said designer Pria Kataria Puri.

For those who like it simple, vibrant coloured knits and chunky knit scarves are a stylish option when teamed with V-neck sweaters, buttoned sweaters and fitted dresses, which are here to stay, Puri said.

Also formal coats with jeans for a semi-formal look and full-length dresses with waistcoats are good for girls.

Fabrics like Cashmere, silk wool, wool crepe, fake fur and stretch denim work best in winter.

What about colours?

"Always pick accent colours for day wear. Evening wear should be sported with deeper blacks, browns and tans. Hues like orange, aubergine, burgundy, purple, teal blue and indigo in fabrics like silk dupion, organza can work wonders," said Pam Mehta.
Accessories can also play a significant role in winter styling.

"Nothing beats the trend of chic cocktail bejewelled hairbands which instantly glamourise any ensemble. Textured stoles in crush silk, handloom scarfs, heavy knit mufflers add character to one's dressing. Try mixing and matching chunky handmade costume jewellery for a dressier appeal," said Satam.

So, hit the markets and start stocking up!

The Big plan of ASOS.com in India?

Online shopping may well have replaced diamonds as a girl's best friend.
And few people have bigger success stories to tell in this space than Lord Waheed Alli. The former founding chairman of Asos.com, the UK-based leader of the online high street cult, is now looking to ply his trade at Koovs.com, an Indian fashion portal that’s hoping to follow the same trajectory.

rajnitsharma1990@gmail.com “When we started Asos 12 years ago, there were a handful of us with four million dollars that we’d raised on the UK stock exchange,” Alli recalls, adding, “And when I left at the end of last year, we were worth 3.5 billion dollars.”

The stratospheric ascent, he attributes to three basic elements: trendy clothes of good quality, competitive prices, and the ability to sell to a bored teenager just browsing the web from her cellphone.
Now, overseeing the launch of Koovs’s first namesake fashion line, Koovs Private Label, Alli insists the same principles apply. “We’re launching trendy, quality clothing at great prices. We’re not going all out to promote ourselves, because if the clothes are good, people will talk about them. That’s how we live or die in the market.” With him, Alli brings former Asos product director Robert Bready as creative director for Koovs.
While he hasn’t noticed any distinction between the UK market and India – except for our studied love of “sparkle”- Alli promises that all the label’s collections will be as trend forward as the offerings on any international portal.
It's clear that they do not want to depend solely on local clothing manufacturers to keep up with the frenetic pace of fashion trends. And unlike with Asos, Indian customers don't have to wait two weeks to get their hands on the products.
“I was at the New York Fashion Week, and the trends that were on display for Spring/Summer 2013 can all be found in this collection. We have ‘monoplay’ which is black and white, and ‘70s romance (as seen at Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton)," says Alli.

Plans for the website include finding more “Indian-looking models” to connect better with the customer and that all-important catchphrase: designer collaborations.
“There are three in place, but we can only make the formal announcements once the legalities are complete. But I can promise it’ll be a mix – some unknown designers that will blow you away with their talent, and household names that you’ve always wanted to see online.”
