Nekiwa SmithSlumdog Fashion on the rise...
April 10th 2009 15:41
After the debut of the Slumdog Millionnaire movie, Bolly fashion has been one of the crazes on the rise in the entertainment and fashion industry. The movie debuted a wide variety of beautiful and unique bolly fashion. With tones of deep orange, blues and green's, the fashion industry has welcomed it's style. But I do wonder(of course), why it's called Bolly and why it's entertainment elite is called Bollywood? Maybe you guys can help me out, if you know, please comment and teach me a thing or two
And also, why call it Bollywood? Maybe after Hollywood? Probably right! Well, I totally understand the pun on it's actors and Hollywood, but I am lost pertaining to the bollyness of it.
I like this piece, it kinda reminds ya of Aladdin. Highly sexy and princessisy(if that's a word). The world has totally embraced their fashion culture, which is rich in detail and embellishment. When I refer to their, I'm speaking of the Arabic world, including India, etc.
This is one of my favorite bolly fashion pieces. I love the rich color and the design. It's not something that I would wear everyday, but it's definately something that I would love to have in my closet, that I can bring out for a special event or occasion. It will definately make a huge fashion statement.
I really like the first piece, though it's not something that I may wear to work, but it's something you I would wear out with friends, I call this a 'speechless' piece!
The second is something that you might catch me in at the job, though, it's a little too plain for me. I definately would change the accessories to liven it up a lttle bit, but to me, its a fashion hit! I think this trend will not be around for too long, as in others, but I do believe that the best of Bolly fashion is yet to come!

For one, India is not part of the "Arabic world" at ALL. you can't just but an "etc." and pretend that means all of western and southern asia can be lumped into a massive belt of "Arabness", aka "foreignness".
Secondly, i have no idea where the hell you heard that indian fashion is called "bolly", but it most certainly is not. Bollywood is a play on Bombay Hollywood, Bombay being the anglicized name for present-day Mumbai, India.
Thirdly, Indian things in general have been popular since the beatles went there in the 60s, there has just been a recent resurgence. The last three pieces on your list don't even reflect the popular indian tradition-imitating styles, anyway.
