If you land in Goa and suddenly
feel the need to up-chic your wardrobe for your beach holiday, make a bee-line
to the ever-stylish Bebel boutique in Calangute, near the quaint
chapel-in-the-middle-of-the-road, and pick up a signature piece to glam up your
resort style.

Most of Bebel’s clothing and accessories are
exclusive, created by leading designers, unique to Goa. Choose from an eclectic
mix of silk drapes by Goa’s own up and coming star designer Stephany D’Souza,
boho-chic outfits from Scandinavian expats Hot Pink Cool Blue or cute shaded
dresses from Panjim’s Syne label.

 The Goan way of life is joyful and nonchalant;
it’s for the free spirited and the edgy. There is no surprise then that a common
trend amongst the small state’s designers is the easy wear. Whatever the
occasion, in Goa you are better off underdressing than over dressing, but one
can always make a fashion statement out of your chosen outfit. The flows and
deconstructed drapes are a must for evening wear just as the relaxed trousers
and cotton kaftan tunics are more likely to be seen during the day. Short
dresses, long kaftans and jumpsuits are worn over bikinis at any time of the
day or night.
 In terms of color, white is a timeless choice
and comes back season after season. However, the happy feeling of Goa’s Beaches
is very often translated into bright colors at all occasions. This year’s
trends are all shades of blues and aquas as well as tones of orchid, enriched
with hints of gold. Stephany D’Souza was selected in the gen-next
category of Lakme Fashion Week in 2013, and is designing an exclusive
collection of resort wear for Bebel, besides having the largest collection of
her brand housed at the store, exclusively in Goa.
 Hot Pink Cool Blue, is a brand new label out
of Goa but the people behind it, have been designing and showing collections
for over 10 years. Lena Falk has been designing and producing Pink India out of
Bangalore earlier and her partner Fredrik Moethe has been running large stores
in Norway.
Syne Coutinho, who also has a
store in the Latin Quarter area of Panjim, offers a really personal and
refreshing take on Goan fashion by mixing tradition and out-of-the-box features
in her eclectic yet affordable collection.
You can also browse through over
a dozen other clothing and accessories designers handpicked by owner Isabel
Hernandez Lelli, (Bebel to her friends), a Spanish-Italian expat who has made
Goa her home for the past several years. Isabel is especially excited about the
exclusive couture collection by the iconic Bombay designer James Ferreira being
displayed at her store. She is also partial to Australian resort wear designers
Easton Pearson and global nomad Pia Pauro’s hand-embroidered tunics, skirts and
gowns with eccentric prints.Bebel’s one-of-a-kind European accessories are also
a rare collection not only in Goa but in India such as hand blown, colourful
Murano glass jewelry, plexiglass earrings, maxi bangles, sun hats and bags.
These can be used to dress up the simplest of outfits on the beach or at a
club.
