Colourful hair accessories in vogue
Colourful hair accessories are back in vogue this season in quite a big way. While American sitcom Gossip Girl started the trend of chic hair accessories in the West, in India the upcoming Rajyashree Ojha-directed Aisha is making waves among fashionistas for its chic designer labels and its funky hair accessories.
" When we were given the brief about Aisha's look in the film, we were told to visualise something in the lines of Audrey Hepburn, particularly the way she did up her hair. Besides, internationally, hair accessories are quite huge now," says Namrata Soni, 29, the hair stylist and make-up person for the movie. Likewise Kapoor's character in the movie sports cutesy black sequin bow hair bands and silver-linked hair piece while Ira Dubey's character too sports hair-bands and other hair accessories. "We picked up most of the stuff from New York and LA, from stores like Accessorize and the legendary Henri Bendel. Besides, we shopped from Colaba Causeway in Mumbai too," adds Soni.

Fashion designer Malini Ramani, known for her eclectic fashion sensibility, says it's a trend from the seventies that's on its way back. "Traditionally in India, we have always used flowers as hair accessories. I love hair accessories because it enhances the look. I usually use flowers or head gears in my shows and I design hair accessories which are available at my store in Goa," she says.
Head gear designer Shilpa Chavan, known for her out-of-the-box creations, says that hair accessories are here to stay. "It's more to do with a particular kind of attitude than with trends. I've always been in awe of Indian gods with their huge crowns and I grew up watching Mary Poppins, so my work is a juxtaposition of these influences. I don't really block hat shapes as it's something you can buy over the counter. I like to create something unique, which is why I do head pieces," says the Goa-based Chavan, who trained under well-known British milliner Philip Treacy.

High-end fashion stores like Accessorize, Miss Jo and Forever New are bringing in new styles like meshed bow clips and hair bands with floral prints to their stores in the Capital. "We have neutral colours like blacks and creams that are more suited to formal events. Our range is quite popular with school and college girls. Also our prices are affordable at Rs 300-Rs 600," said Anjani Ghai of Forever New.
Youngsters seem to love the trend. "I like the vintage feel that head-pieces add to outfits," says 20-year-old Sachi Gupta, a Delhi University student, flaunting her ecru hair band with faux pearls.
