Marriage is a holy tie between two people who want to spend the rest of their lives with each other. On this special day, a bride is dressed from head to toe with beautiful couture that compliments both herself and also the day. A Banarasi Sari is the bride’s wedding partner. Indian brides prefer wearing a Banarasi saree on their wedding as a sign of royalty and beauty.

Banarasi saree is considered as one of the most historical weaves because it existed since the times of monarchs. In this period, the sarees were weaved with golden and silver threads hence making it a statement of royalty.

AshaGautam was established in 1998 by Asha Gupta who has a very close relationship with Indian ethnic arts and crafts. The brand launched their small collection at first and due to its outstanding response; the label marked its journey.

Fashion Forecast - The biggest trends in 2018!

The best part  about India is that like its culture the trends are also multi fold and unlike in the west we are not unidirectional. Our country has two different segments which are different from each other so one side we have Wedding an Festive wear predominately catering to Indian market where as on the other side we have Pret and Luxury prĂȘt which caters to global market. 



Also another interesting fact is the today MILLENIAL are the main decision maker so trends are forecasted keeping them in mind.

As far as Indian wear goes we are seeing it in a revival mode as lot of old crafts, weaves and yarns are getting modified at the grass root level to fit in the aspirations of the millennial. 

Weavers have become more flexible and designers also realize the potential our country posses so the innovative mind collaborates with the master craftsmen to work on textiles and crafts and as a result we are seeing innovative handmade fabrics such as Munga georgette, tissue georgette, silk linen, stainless steel with cotton and many more. 

These fabrics bring in the perfect gap where today minimalism in the way forward and lot of stress goes on unique textiles, contemporary silhouettes and experimental color combinations. Speaking of silhouettes this may be the best phase for designers who love to experiment as the consumer today is all game for it so we expect to see lot of new styles coming in Indian bridal couture and festive wear. 

Long jackets paired with dhoti trousers, draped sari gowns, capes with Banarasi lehenga, shirt blouses or concept tops with sarees, short kurtas with shararas or skirts, concept dresses and styles which stands out. 



With today’s age and stage of social media style matters a lot as one tends to flaunt what he or she is wearing to everyone in their circle. Color palette in Indian wear shifts from pastels to neons however we are expecting more pastels and semi pastels shades to dominate 2018 so colors like Mint green, lavender blush, Celeste, peach, lemon, turquoise and Violet along with other mandatory ones such as Red, Pink, beige etc.

Indian wear is at its best age as never before so many variations were made or accepted. There is much much more to ghagra choli in today’s Indian wear fashion.

Coming to our Pret and luxury prĂȘt trends it is Geometry which will be seen as the biggest trend in 2018. I expect to see lot of stripes, checks and polka dots dominating 2018. Coming to silhouettes, Trench coats looks the flavor of 2018 with so many variations both for winters and summers. 

Comfort yet stylish is the feel for 2018 and this is why lot of boxy silhouettes will be seen more but that doesn’t mean it will become too repetitive or boring as lot of elements such as sheer, fringes and ruffles are making their presence to balance it out. 

So that sexy look might not be the dominant factor but it’s slowly coming back and may be by the end of 2018 we can see more of it. Coming back to patterns how can floral be ever missed and I am never seen any season or year in the past 2 decades where it is not there.

So 2018 won’t be an exception either. Motifs like flowers, peacock, tulips are the ones who bring smile and happiness and in today’s stressful world we need them so may be their interpretation varies from label to countries but their significant wont. 



Another aspect is increasing awareness of the damage fast fashion brings to the nature and seeing that lot of recycled and sustainable fashion is the focus point. Organic cotton, denims made of organics textiles, textiles developed from industrial waste and plastic bottles to innovative textiles developed from steel we are seeing a big revolution in textiles and in times to come this will be a big difference maker in India as well. 

Speaking of colors it is monochromes, pastels and nude shades that will make a big impact in 2018. Some years back we didn’t have that identity in this space as we were not using our resources but today Indian designers have created an impact as they have embraced our textiles and craft in such a beautiful way that in times to come we can comfortably say we are Global yet Indian. 

It’s like MADE IN INDIA will have its own design value as compared to the perception that Made in India means its low cost production.


Lot of trends in India varies from international trend as the mood and lifestyle here are different. As a country we are seeing violence, health and pollution as some negatives where as technology and entrepreneurship as some positives so the fashion trends go in the direction of being calm, organic, comfort and contemporary. We will see lot more ethical and responsible fashion in times to come.
