Meet the #onlineready fashionistas!
Wondering what students are upto when you see them shop for accessories although college campuses are still shut? Well, get introduced to the batch of #onlineready fashion forward millennials who know how to show swag even when not physically present in campus.
“I’d browsed so many pretty masks on Instagram! Finally when I came across an affordable designer mask by Manish Malhotra I bought it immediately,” says Nandini Chauhan, a student of Hindu College, Delhi University (DU).” “We’re hoping that it’s only a matter of time now that we return to campus, so me and my friends have stocked up on quite a few funky masks and gloves,” says student Muhammad Salih from Hindu College (DU).
Siddhanth Unnikrishnan, a private academy student in Mumbai says that he’s never been appearance conscious, but “a good hair grooming and wearing comfortable T-shirts make for a refreshed look”.
“I love to coordinate my make up and lenses, so I got myself a pack of coloured contact lenses and some eyelash extensions,” says Amrutha Devan, a DU student.
Funkiness remains a major aspect for Mumbai University correspondence student Suraj Pillai as well, who’s “stacked up on masks and T-shirts that dictate his mood.”
Gayathri KP, a Miranda House (DU) student says, “I got some cool tops and hair accessories because that’s what will be visible in online class.” And Lekshmi Bency, a student of Ramjas College (DU), adds, “I got a hair cut and colour done! You can’t afford to have a bad hair day in front of the camera!”
Many are now shopping at street markets as well. “I was done sitting at home and browsing online... so I shopped for makeup palettes, quirky posters or printed linen to put in the background during online classes from Sarojini market and Lajpat Nagar market,” says Alka Yadav, a student of Indraprastha College for Women (DU).
