Inspired by [Indian fashion and culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chinese-golden-age-models), the line features rich fabrics, sparking embellishments and tons of texture. Nevertheless, the designs have been tweaked for the modern Western woman. Instead of draping materials and over-the-top opulent details, the outfits are clean-lined and structured as well as vibrantly minimalist. Snapped by photographer Max Farago for the magazine's April 2012 issue, the Dazed & Confused 'Bombay Dreams' editorial stars model Lindsey Wixson. She brings her signature pout and gap-toothed smile to this hotel set photoshoot. Styled by Karen Langley, the American beauty lounges about her surroundings, playfully teasing her already tousled hair while staring seductively into the camera with her smokey eyes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Indian-inspired Couture:** Opportunity to incorporate elements of Indian fashion and culture into Western designs for a unique and vibrant aesthetic. - **Rich Fabrics and Sparking Embellishments:** Potential for creating luxurious and glamorous clothing pieces with intricate details and high-quality materials. - **Clean-lined and Structured Outfits:** Chance to design modern, minimalist clothing with a focus on clean lines and structure. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion designers and brands can explore the Indian-inspired couture trend and incorporate it into their collections. - **Luxury:** Luxury brands can utilize rich fabrics and sparking embellishments to create high-end, opulent products. - **Photography:** Photographers can experiment with capturing the allure of Bombay Dreams editorial-style photoshoots. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Couture Settings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026.md) - [Glam Indian Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anamika-khanna-x-hm.md) - [Fashion Brand Christmas Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-winter-tale.md) - [Majestic High Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanels-new-high-jewelry-collection.md) - [Luxury Fashion House Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/launch-on-nykaa.md) - [Quilted Jewelry Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coco-crush.md) - [Model-Collaborative Luxe Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cara-loves-karl.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Vibrant Upscale Makeup Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanels-spring-2025.md)
