Two months ago when Deepika Padukone put in an appearance on a television show as part of promotions for her film Chennai Express, the Bollywood actor made heads turn with her sartorial choice. Clad in a peach silk outfit, Padukone looked resplendent. The garment with a narrow pallu, which looked like a sari, was in fact a one-piece outfit — the sari gown. So well-received was the ensemble that designer Sonaakshi Raaj, a young name in the fashion industry, got swamped with orders for similar silhouettes. Bollywood exerts a strong pull when it comes to fashion trends and with Deepika and even Sonam Kapoor wearing sari gowns, their popularity has extended beyond India. I have been getting orders for the sari gown from the UK, the US and Canada, she says. Raaj is not the only one who is revelling in the success of this silhouette. The runway too is being dominated by the sari gown — a hybrid creation combining the elegance of a sari with the lure of an evening gown. In fact, recent editions of the couture week and the bridal week have been inundated with leading designers offering their take on the garment. indianexpress/news/the-right-blend/1182543/
