It's kind of a common trope of wedding and fashion blogging that every trend must be referenced to a particular icon or epoch. I think it's meant to make the task of writing easier, or maybe it's just that we are in a time where we are moving so quickly forward, it's comforting to look for some grounding in the past when we speak of fast-changing trends.
But I am starting to find it hard. The truth is, that often designers and stylists draw from too many places at once for me to condense into a few lines of copy, and at other times I just can't put my finger on where I've seen a particular lipstick shade or hairstyle before.
I see lots of references here, in this latest feature of Sonam Kapoor for filmfare magazine, but I think it's fair to say there are several overarching trends in terms of makeup, styling, and fashion. Dark, wine red lips are everywhere, as are thickly drawn eyebrows. I've seen them in several places now, and I'll be featuring those lookbooks in the weeks to come. Another trend is yellow gold, on black. Big, big, big. Again, I'll be blogging other signs of this trend in the weeks to come.
