Trend Report: The Comeback of Over the Top Shimmer

Think glitzy shine and super glamorous cuts- it’s time to dial up the drama unapologetically. The party season is underway and ostentatious shimmer bling is being coveted more than ever! The proof of their popularity this season: From international connoisseurs, Celine and Christian Dior to party glam experts Rohit Gandhi & Rahul Khanna, Gavin Miguel and Neeta Lulla channelled the synergy of this season’s celebrations with dollops of shimmer to anchor their cutting edge silhouettes. 

Rohit Gandhi & Rahul Khanna’s Autumn/Winter line up ‘Interstellar’ at Lakme Fashion Week this season presented muted blacks and greys iridescent of pearls, beads and crystals in a tone on tone theme.

Overcoming its rep for being loud, OTT shimmer is ready to take over your party-season closet. Mavens point out tonal accents to counterbalance the statement. What’s more to love? Blingy embellishments are no longer reserved for evening affairs. Pull them off for a day in the sun for notable appearances. From old-school cocktail dresses to red-carpet-worthy designer gowns and metallic tops, line up statement-making numbers to get the party started. Fuel your fascination for the 80s and 90s clubbing glimmering elements with risque accents like sheer panels, cut-out details and figure-flattering silhouettes. Owing to the tonal theme of this season’s shimmer version, it’s charisma will appeal to all- minimalists as well as maximalists.
