Contemporary desi style is something that has evolved over just a few years. It blurs the line between modern shapes and traditional silhouettes. Hence, it is often a difficult style to not only balance but to also look good in. Designers nowadays are more open to portray their new take on desi with their designs. But to make them more approachable to the masses, B-Town’s belles are the ones who experiment with them first. We follow these fashionistas religiously and take note of their outfits to the T, so they are apt to showcase such new designs. A strong patron of this new, contemporary desi community is and always has been Sonam Kapoor.
Whether it’s on the runway or it’s at the airport, Sonam has been mindful of how to play along with these new silhouettes and make them look good. She proves that it is more than just the design that matters. The way she styles the ensemble also has a huge impact on making it a contemporary look.
