Hold on to your seats and hang on to your hats fellas for
today Faaya is introducing (cue drumroll) our first arrest on Confashion:
Confessions of a fashion-o-holic!
Before you start judging my dramatic and rather frivolous
use of words here, allow me to explain what is so great about Confashion.
Unlike our other regular posts, Confashion will showcase the personal style of
the readers and not the bloggers. Every once in a while we shall ‘arrest’ one
unsuspecting poor soul and have them pose for us (*insert evil smile*).
For our very first confashion, we managed to get hold of
this gorgeous lady, Siddha, who by the way can give Beyonce a run for her money
when she is on the dance floor.
ARRESTED: SIDDHA JAIN
Fashion Police: Tell us about your personal style Siddha
Siddha: Fashion to me is the simplest and most
lasting form of expression. I dress up to celebrate my happiness as well as to
lighten my mood in sadness - and it never fails. Fashion to me is to be able to
wear anything and everything in such a manner that I 'complete' the outfit - it
can be a simple piece of fabric that I wrap around to make a dress or the most
elaborate traditional wear - I should have a sense of oneness in it. The key is
that it should be effortless and comfortable - being able to carry off whatever
I'm wearing is the most important factor in determining how fashionable I
really am.
F: How did you put together your looks
for this shoot?
S: I generally use color and contrast a
lot in most of my looks - I believe they're the most impactful means of making
a fashion statement. So this time I tried something different - I tried to
stick to basic colors - white, black and blue - to come up with casual
street looks - with hints of formal streaks. I have added a bit of gold through
my accessories to jazz up the look a bit. Most of the outfits are unbranded and
have been picked up from the streets of Mumbai and Bangalore - so it is street
fashion in the true sense.
Look 1: Boyfriend jeans + off-shoulder
collared top
I wanted to mix the up the jeans with a
little sophistication - hence I folded a dress (look 2) into a top
I think it could've been funkier if I
added a short red-colored tie, tied my hair into a bun, wore red shoes and red
lipstick to complement the tie - but I kept it simple to give it the street
look
Look 3: Black shorts and asymmetric
white tunic
I put this look together to accentuate
the simplicity of the outfit. It is very relaxed and has a formal yet playful
orientation to it.
Look 4: Maxi shirt with the same black
shorts
This maxi shirt can be buttoned up
completely to look like a dress, but I prefer to wear it with the shorts to
make it look more playful. I have worn earrings woven in bamboo for this for a
hobo look. I feel that it can be coupled with brown boots when buttoned up to
create a different look.
