A layered look is one that you simply cannot go wrong with-multi-layered velvet outfits with brocade designs are certainly the ‘in thing’. Full sleeves, especially sheer sleeves are in vogue- The Lakme Fashion Week 2012 showcased several creations with such sleeves. Additionally, there is definitely a trend of East meeting west as more and more Indian designers are experimenting with Lehengas that look like western bridal wear. The result: fishtail or mermaid style lehengas and trail Lehengas. These styles are definite winners in creating a feminine, elegant and a classy look.
