When fashionistas meet!

 I met with my school friends the other day. We were talking about fashion and movies in general. One of us showed her picture of 90's, that Google Photos reminded, 'this day that year'.

Remember the red maxi dress Madhuri flaunted in Hum Aapke Hai Kaun (HAHK)? That was a total hit when I was in my junior college (What you call 10-plus grade nowadays). She was wearing the same dress in the picture.

"Most of us had got this stitched right?", I asked, recollecting my dress. "Mine was a pink coloured though, the pattern exactly the same, the bell sleeves, flowy garment and the iconic belt", I laughed.

"The other day when I was scrolling through the online shopping site, I spotted a similar dress. Hmm! History repeats, so does fashion, Hai na?" , I said.

"Hey yes! And the famous Rangeela costumes that Urmila gladly brandished, the A-lines, how we loved wearing those, in denims and colours",  another friend recalled.

"We used to have these coloured days or dress coded days back in college. And when it was the A-lines, every other girl was dressed up in her best A-line frock, with ankle high boots", she said. "I know, you all can picture this, right?", she was nostalgic.

"Yeah! Those black boots were a rage in 90's, thanks to the film stars that usually made a fashion trend going", another one agreed.

"From Shahrukh's hairstyle to Akshay's built or Salman's floral shirts to Hrithik's dance moves, everything and anything would hit the chords of public fashion. Remember our class boys?", my friend giggled.

"Ha yaar! Our wardrobes were full of such replica outfits, either stitched or from some fashion street. They were budget friendly and elegant. Presently, we've those first copies of high end brands, that are not equally, yet somewhat expensive", I said.

"Fashion wasn't a big deal, like it's now. We weren't brand conscious, but yes, moderately, were trend conscious, don't you agree", I asked. And my friends affirmed.

"Aur woh Madhuri's step cut in HAHK, it was hip and you could find sequential occurrences of such hairdos all around", my friend said, flipping her long tresses.

"Arey ha and Amir's 'Captain' cap in Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahi or Salman's cap sporting 'Friend' in Maine Pyaar Kiya, was a must've for boys", I added.

My friend opened another picture from her gallery,  "See, 90's fashion of dungarees, overalls or 'jumpsuits' as they are labeled now, has made a grand come back.

But kuch bhi kaho, paring a fresh white tee with denim dungarees, was a smash! Never went wrong. Also the combinations of black and whites was a hit, remember? The denim jeans and tee - any coloured, looks classy whenever or wherever you wear them", she added and we all were thoroughly enjoying the flashbacks.

" How can you forget those bell bottoms?Abhi kya kehte hai usey....boyfriend jeans na?, one of us recalled.

We had so much to talk about that day, sipping hot coffee and enjoying the sandwiches, imagining ourselves dressed so, in our school and college days. We were total fashionistas in our sense, even then. And everyone agreed to this.

"'If you like it, wear it', is always going to hold good, be it any era, 90's or Gen Z. If you've that confidence you can carry any garment with elegance, kya kehto ho ladki log?", my friend asked and we all had a hearty laugh while asserting her.

They say, "Fashion fades, style is eternal", so get your own style and flaunt it!
