This world is like a dream
This world acts completely like a dream, He whose heart is open will realize it.
Its kindness replaces cruelty.
Its happiness replaces sorrow.
Why are you so content with this world, When everything is not in order?
It has a nice face but has bad habits.
It has charm but has bad manners.

The international silhouette of the 70’s, snug fit printed shirts with wide collars or velour jackets with wide lapels worn over seriously flared pants worked its way into Indian film and was immortalized by stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna, Dharmendra and Shashi Kapoor.

This era marked a fusion of Western trends with Indian sensibilities, creating a unique and memorable style that continues to be celebrated and referenced in contemporary fashion. The flamboyant fashion of the 1970s, as immortalized by these Bollywood stars, remains a nostalgic and influential chapter in the history of Indian cinema and fashion.

Safari suits, as the name suggests, were versions that came about for going on a Safari. The silhouette found unparalleled favor with Indian actors. It allowed a whole gamut of action, and offered the actor the flexibility of performing stunts, jumping off trees, mountains or serenading his love interest – all while looking impeccable!
Worn differently by villains and heroes the Safari Suit was a Jacket and Trousers of matching lightweight fabric, with extra pockets, epaulets and loops, and a self-belt all finished with double-stitched detail. While many actors may have contributed to its iconoclastic status, Dev Anand’s version - belted, with a cravat or polka-dotted scarf is possibly the most memorable.

If Cary Grant and Fred Astaire can be credited with carrying Saville Row’s Lounge suit to fame in 1940’s America, Raj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar and Sanjeev Kumar can be credited with bringing it into mainstream Indian fashion. Worn slightly oversized, with padded shoulders in the 50s, the suit in all its avatars - as a 3 piece suit, or a double–breasted suit, and with all its separates- the Jacket, or the Waistcoat – has always epitomised international flair.
Through the choices of actors like Raj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar, and Sanjeev Kumar, the lounge suit became an integral part of Indian cinema’s fashion landscape. It symbolized a fusion of global sophistication with a touch of traditional elegance, embodying the evolving tastes of the Indian audience.

24/12/2023

A classic Indian silhouette that is impossible to separate from its fashion timeline – the Bandhgala is a close-necked, cut-collar jacket mostly worn long, over crisp cotton pajamas, churidars or pants. The silhouette was famously adopted by the country’s Prime Minister, Jawahar Lal Nehru in the 1960’s, earning it the eponymous title of the Nehru Jacket. Nehru wore it to great effect with a trademark rose tucked into the front button.

Bandhgala remains a powerful emblem of Indian menswear, embodying a perfect amalgamation of tradition and style. Its enduring influence underscores its ability to transcend time, making it a wardrobe essential for the modern Indian man.

The Dhoti Kurta was the standard uniform of well-educated, respectable Indian men of pre-independent India. The ensemble was often worn in the 1930s with a jacket and closed slip-on pointed shoes, giving it an air of British formality combined with Swadeshi pride and comfort. It was worn by many actors like Ashok Kumar, Dilip Kumar, and Rajendra Kumar as a relaxed semi-formal attire until the 60s. Soon younger stars of the late 60’s and 70’s like Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan dropped the interstitial Jacket and wore the kurta on its own with slim trousers to a show-stopping effect.
The model in the image is donning a white dhoti paired with kurta, a timeless indian, symbol of elegance and cultural pride

Bring your attention to the first ever online exhibition on Google Arts and culture. The Two part exhibit is an interpretative bricolage of the key fashion silhouettes from Indian cinema that have infused the Indian aesthetic with their transformative capabilities and vice versa

The Angrakha- a traditional South Asian garment, gained popularity in the 1920s and became a fashion trend embraced by Bollywood actors of the time. In the golden era of Indian cinema, the Angrakha was often worn with flair and sophistication, seamlessly blending cultural heritage with contemporary style

As seen on the image, our model adorns a graceful white Angrakha channeling the timeless allure reminiscent of Bollywood actors. It serves as a sartorial bridge between eras, preserving the enchantment while remaining relevant and captivating in the present.
