Unlike a decade ago, fashion in today's times is easily accessible and affordable even to the average middle class. Popular fashion brands no longer restrict themselves to the elite but have been churning out affordable fashion to the masses. The advent of online shopping websites has also helped change the fashion game. Even Bollywood celebrities, who largely influence the fashion scene in India, have also stepped into the business and come up with their ingenious fashion labels.
A lot of young celebrities from Bollywood (and also sports) have started their clothing lines and have entered the online shopping market. Most of these brands are reasonably priced and designed to suit the everyday needs of young men and women. Here is a list of seven such popular celebrities who decided to share their personal style with their fans and make it accessible to them online.
All About You By Deepika Padukone
In 2015, Bollywood diva Deepika Padukone launched her fashion brand All About You. In line with her elegant sense of fashion, her brand aims at bringing to the market clothes that are designed specially for women who like to club feminine grace with sophistication and comfort. All About You has both ethnic and western sections and is available on various online shopping stores.
Ms Taken by Kriti Sanon
In association with Anjana Reddy, the Founder of Universal Sportsbiz, Kriti Sanon launched her clothing line called Ms Taken. The clothes are colourful, trendy and reminiscent of Kriti's personal style. They are aimed for the chirpy, happy-go-lucky women, who like to don bright, colorful pieces.

Wrogn by Virat Kohli
Cricketer Virat Kohli also ventured into the fashion business when he launched his brand Wrogn in 2014. Kohli describes his brand as a 'breakaway from youth fashion'.

Nush By Anushka Sharma
Following the footsteps of her contemporaries like Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor, Anushka Sharma also launched her brand in late 2017. Her clothes distinctly define her own personality i.e. perky and youthful. Nush's collection has a range of comfortable yet designer clothes. The star is often spotted wearing clothes from her brand.
Being Human by Salman Khan
Salman Khan is one of the first Bollywood celebrities to enter the online fashion space. He launched his clothing label Being Human in 2013, as an extension of his charity brand by the same. Salman's collection is not aimed at catering to fashion enthusiast but for charity. His collection has designs that are on the spottier side and all of them have a 'Being Human' tag printed on it.
