Old Bollywood Glamour

And here I was going on about vintage styling and saris when this was in the – too be blogged folder all along.

I think it would be fair to say that some things have been instrumental in me blogging and continuing to do so, its was the other shoot that Amna did, that i fell in love with and if it meant I could blog pretty images like that ..then I was in..

So it no surprise that when she got behind the camera again, to shoot this fabulous retro inspiration, its went down a storm in blogland.

Talented Makeup artist, Radha Subramani - had a vision, so they worked together, to bring it to life.

Taking inspiration from what really was the golden era of Bollywood, it takes you back to a time when Sadhana Shivdasani &  Leena Chandavarkar were style icons and winged-out eyeliner was the craze {a must if you love your cat-eye}

Of course no beautiful shoot is complete without, it’s very own retro Bollywood vintage film – enter Bridget from first kiss films

The entire film was filmed with classic movie cameras and the 16mm motion picture film was hand processed for extra texture and beauty – no post-production tricks here, everything you seen on-screen is authentic and gorgeous thanks to the beauty of real film. Since I only create a style shoot every year or two so they are very special. – Bridget

You can see more from the shoot as filmed in a timeless, cinematic way! along details for all the other talented people involved.

    Absolutely <3 this…i absolutely love the fashion from this era also Its well thought of because it gives us ordinary asian girls a platform a sense of belonging because during this era there wasnt many asian women in england but its gives us a chance to show the world out beauty…loved the quirky music and the models were not only beautiful but represented true asian beautyy!!
