Kitschy, Kooky

Comment image 60


Wearing prints isn’t the easiest thing to do. Especially wearing a mix of different (and overwhelming) prints/patterns but, when done well it’s bohemian, fun, statement making and makes kitsch starved souls like me smile. Of course, when done none too well only means an unmitigated WTHey’ish disaster. Not in this case though; love Sabina’s look.

Conventional wisdom would have perhaps dictated pairing that crazy jacket with a more neutral dress/top but love how it works with that dress. So refreshing. If I changed anything, it would have to be the hair. Not working for me at all.

  1. There’s definitely potential here, but I’m not digging the footwear. They seem too aunty-like for such an edgy combination. Who’s the jacket by?

  2. What is in the print on the jacket? It is pics from old movies or pics of her family members? Can somebody with better eyes (or glasses) tell me !

  3. I love love love the dress! Can we have an ID on it puh-leease? And the hair just about kills her look…pity ‘cuz anything simple would have looked good.

  4. Please please say you are joking. Some kind of an April 1st type thing in say November? This is one of the biggest WTHeyy’s in recent times. Dear Lord.

  5. I am wondering who all the ladies are on her jacket…. madhuris and sridevis? haahaa… that’s a good way to attract people by wearing such jackets….

  6. What happened to you P and P ? I thought you had a good fashion sense. I agree that there can be a difference of opinion but come on guys this jacket looks like many movie posters on a Pan Ki Dukan.
    And the hair are atrocious.

    The dress is plain OK. I remember many wearing version of that dress growing up when we used to get our frocks stitched from my mom’s old silk sarees.

    The complete look is way too Tacky !

      • After reading your posts complimenting Sophie’s sequinned trash bag, Priya Tanna white bedsheet and now this hot kitchy mess, I am starting to wonder wether YOU are qualified to comment on other people’s style sense.

        • @disappointed…u disappoint me.
          u have no right to put people (koel) down. we all have our opinions, that’s what makes the world more interesting.

    • again, fasion is completely arbitrary
      I don’t get your criticism- you can disagree, but what kind of “qualifications” would you use???

      I would suggest The Satorialist if you really wanted to be inspired by mixed patterns and fresh looks; but P&P still do what they are good at- and I agree with them most of the time 🙂

      • I agree with you @pdaervo, Sometimes I get very emotional because I am really a big fan of P and P ‘s work but when there is so much disagreement between me and them then that frustration takes the best of me..

        I think people do have different tastes and that is the reason why the world is not so monotonous…

        Again , I still disagree with P and P on this one but guys please ignore my comments on you…

        Come to think about it I did not hate the saree version that much. Sometimes it has to do with the whole getup of the person as well and I guess the hair in person with the jacket looked too Behanjee Chaap to pull off that look…

        • Plus @pdaervo what “qualifications” are you talking about ? I am just a middle aged woman, having a good time by commenting on celebrities clothes on the platform that actually posts my opinions unlike my husband who just know how to say ” Hmmmm” , “Achha” , “Uh-Hnnn” at regular intervals..

  7. Please don’t call it bohemian if anything! The footwear with the dress?? That hair??? A jacket with actresses (in kind of wedding deck-up) pasted on it is too tacky to be edgy! The look is over the top!

  8. I’m sorry, but this look just does NOT work. I love the jacket and the dress, but induvidually. How in god’s name do they work together. And that hair has to go.

    The jacket i would wear with a black silk knee-length tank dress (I love contrasting textures and fabrics) that’s completely unembelished and plain and a pair of metallic stillettos in coppery gold.

    The dress with sky-high neon pink pump and a pair of silver chandelier earrings .

  9. the jacket is fun and the dress is cute
    but i dont see them together at all…and she doesnt pull it off either
    the hair is terrible and so are the shoes

    that jacket definitely has kitsch written all over it
    trying to figure out who the faces are…the only one i can ID so far is Kajol – second picture from the top on her left

  10. Huh? P & P–sometimes I really am taken aback! this is not working.. I like the dress. Don’t like the jacket-her hair, bag and shoes are completely off… its a tacky outfit though Sabina herself never looks tacky.

  11. I’m all for kitsch!!! and this look is 100% awesome.
    lol… ur right… its JUST so refreshing to c somebody so totally confident to carry this off. she looks fab

    Now if only you could tell me where cud i pick up that jacket from and i’d be on my way!! 😀

    you rock, sabina!!

  12. as for dat dress, as seperates it’d work…2 carry dat jacket u esp need a lot of guts…
    i cnt believe it, i used 2 love dis sabina female earlier, bt nw wid every passing day, her pics prove dat she seems 2 b losing it…

  13. Those sandals are hideous…maybe some edgie closed shoes in a neutral shade would have completed the look…plus i dont think the dress compliments her her body type…makes her look heavy on top and the legs look disproportionately skinny…Uggghhh for me!!!…though i like the dress and the jacket individually..
