Sheikh Arif Bulbon :
Fashion is a statement. It is a language which is spoken globally. It stands for human choice-culture-climate-something new beyond any reasoning. Global fashion is in flow of continuous variation or modification for a flavor deviation. And in Bangladesh it has its own way and devotion. The holy month of Ramzan here is not only month of fasting and long prayers for devotees it comes with great prospect for fashion retailers as the month will be leaving in return the gift of the largest festival for Muslims and the countrymen the Eid-ul-Fitr. As Eid is the time of festivities for Muslims so let’s find out style tips for Eid to make it trendy. As Eid is coming in between summer and winter this year when the weather is hot and humid so Eid fashion styles should also according to the weather. Hence, speaking of Eid-ul-Fitr, I was wondering what knew we could do with the latest fashion flows and below are the latest trend for Eid for making you look stylish on this Eid.
Eid is the time of celebrations and Muslims really look forward to it every year. I feel affection for this time of the year when families get together; new clothes are to be worn, varieties of sweet-dishes are made, a dinner is held, all in all it is a time to party! Now when we declare it is the time to party it also means new clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, etc. Most of the shopping is however done way before Eid yet girls love to go out at Chand Raat for Mehndi and Churriyan where as boys goes around by the cause of left out shopping but more to enjoy beauty. Unlike the boys, girls and ladies usually spent long time in shopping throughout the Ramzan.
Meanwhile in the international arena, to carry a tremendous diversification for Eid a number of Arabic as well as international fashion labels and brands has instigates their collections specifically to furnish to the occasion. The names include, Marks & Spencer, Al Yashmac, Keshwah, Ann Rose, Gul Ahmed and Collage. Marks & Spencer’s exclusive Ramzan collection for girls and women comprises of attractively designed chiffon and silk tops, long elegant crocheted shirts and evening dresses. Al Yashmac’s collection of Jalabiyas for the season comes inspired by magically renewed spirit of Ramzan, kindred spirits, fascinating sunsets, enchanting nights and soulful moments. Salama, the Emirati designer has created a collection for Arabic brand Keshwah. The collection highlighting various colours is trendy and yet modest. Pieces like a wide-sleeved abaya worn over a white summer dress with embroidered sleeves marks the collection. Eid collection of Ann Rose, another popular name in the fashion industry, mainly includes three-piece dresses for women and girls. The collection comprises of duppattas, shalwars, long shirts, pants and modern dresses.
As loose and elbow length sleeves are in vogue your forearm is visible making ample of space to wear bangles. So another Eid style tip is to match your bangles with the laces or ribbons you use. Fortunately platform heel shoes are also in this year so go out grip a pair of those heart throbbing shoes. Designs from Stylo, Comley, Milli, Oeces,Metro can be used.
In Bangladesh, most of the brands and non branded shops has taken there Eid preparation. Local trend shows a great combination of uniqueness and fusion. Fashion has been well speeded through different market segments. Choosy ladies are hopping around selecting there fabrics colours and accessories to make their dresses. And leading brand Aarong is setting the trend here as it was doing always. The brand is a clear leader in local market using fabrics made of local artisans. Aarong’s relatively new brand Taaga targeting the youth and teen ladies has become with a lead called ‘Break Free.’ Fashion indeed has Brocken out in a new way where the origin of fabric and ‘making ideas’ come from local instincts and uniqueness.
As always, on Eid, designers here in Bangladesh strive hard to give the exclusive look to the apparel of shalwar kameez. They explore new dimensions; new styles to give the chic look in their collection. Now-a-days, the shalwar kameez outfit worn by some celebrities in happenings and varied styles in high profile events has made the dress as trendy as in western zone. This Eid, involved work of thread and beaded work on the neckline and shoulders, heavy sequined work all over on the face, few large droplets marked all over the front, mirror work enhanced by spell binding patterns and colors is very in. So check out, Eid clothes and make the occasion as multi-colored as possible!
Finally, Eid is just around the corner. Time to enjoy and rejoice, a moment to share and celebrate the cheerfulness or joy by donning heena on hands, wear new Eid clothes before the day begins and everyone flashes for Eid prayers.
