Sylvie, thanks so much for this link. I can quite imagine a lot of these inspiring ethnic daywear and eveningwear in India as well, just because Chanel's 'endorsed' it! Thought much of it not very far from what many women wear fairly regularly here, as evening or occasional wear. It's actually not so much inspired by men's formalwear as women's garments here, I think, looking at the shapes of necklines, the overall lines, the detailing. (Men usually wear higher, often collared necklines, straighter and simpler silhouettes, not as much surface embellishment.)
Daywear's less embellished for women too --- maybe only as much as the white outfit with the green bag and purple-pink-green embroidered 'jewellery'. But the mad beaded sandals even turn up as workwear with ethnic clothes in many cities!
I for one will be very curious to see how these translate to highstreet garments and street fashion where you ladies are.
When I was born, my grandmother got one of those dangly headpieces, called a maangtika or tikli, made up at once for me to wear when I grew up and got married! 27 years later, I did just that. The pieces shown here are of course far more intricate than my simple gold medallion.
PS: Silver anklets were common to the point where it was de rigeur for all little girls at least up to my own generation, Claire! Though many of the everyday ones will only include a single small cluster of bells, but they all tend to tinkle! These silver anklets typically turn up at weddings as well, and we always wear matched pairs, sometimes with toe rings added. They are often the only piece of non-gold jewellery the bride wears, because the goddess of wealth is identified with gold, and it is considered disrespectful to her for gold to touch the feet (symbolic of kicking away luck and prosperity).
