The OTT Style

In the absence of red carpets and ramp shows, we are taking style inspirations from over-the-top media services, says Sujata Assomull, fashion journalist and editor. Author of 100 Iconic Bollywood Costumes, Assomull says reel life has always played a huge role in setting trends. “Clothes are what make some of the shows bingeworthy,” she says.

For designers, too, it’s a platform to get noticed. Hemant Sagar, cofounder of Lecoanet Hemant, says,“OTT platforms are a great way for introducing young audiences to heritage fashion.”

Case in point: Shanaya Kapoor’s appearance in Lecoanet Hemant Couture in the Netflix show 'Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives' was noticed. Stylist Rishi Raj says it is a natural progression for the audience in terms of fashion consumption — from Bollywood to K soaps to OTT. And it goes beyond trends, he says, “These viewers have a lot of opinions to share and platforms to share it on. Now fashion is being looked at, discussed, given an opinion on.”

Here are shows that have set trends for quite some time to come.

Check Mate

SHOW: 'The Queen’s Gambit' on Netflix

Anya Taylor-Joy’s formidable performance as chess prodigy Beth Harmon is matched by a custom-made wardrobe, masterminded by costume designer Gabriele Binder. From bespoke, Beat Generation T-shirts to Harmon’s signature check, and a slew of decisively stylish dresses, the series not only made chess chic but also inspired fall fashion.

Gangsta Style

SHOW: 'Peaky Blinders' on Netflix

Few shows have had an impact on men’s style as 'Peaky Blinders'. A British period crime drama series, this show single-handedly scripted a revival for heavy fabrics, cropped pants, baker boy caps and sturdy boots. In an interview to Esquire, costumer designer Stephanie Collie says the reason its style is so popular is because “at heart, I think every Englishman wants to wear a suit”.

Yellow High

SHOW: 'Aarya' on Hotstar

The comeback vehicle of Sushmita Sen had to be noticed. Thankfully, the plot was as gripping as Sen’s looks in the title role. The standout styles have been handloom-heavy — a green-andgold sari and a yellow lehenga from Raw Mango. If Sen can’t sell a style, who can?

The Di Factor

SHOW: 'The Crown' on Netflix

With its previous season, 'The Crown' has brought Lady Di’s style back in fashion. From the Barbour jacket to cardigans to her iconic looks, it made Lady Diana the fashion icon of 2020.

Steven Knight, who created the hit TV show, said that the script of the film is also about to be completed. He had previously said that the film would be shot in Birmingham, which will be the grand finale of Peaky Blinders. The story of ‘Shelbys’ is set in World War II background. Knight said that he has three true stories about World War II that he will integrate into the upcoming film, which is all unknown yet. Knight has confirmed that Stephen Graham and Vicky McClure will be a part of the movie.
