FASHION

India has a well known textiles heritage which has, by and large, dictated the fashion scene in the past and continues to do so even today. In fact, India is one of the few countries in the world where traditional garments have not been replaced by western wear. Today, India's fashion industry is flourishing, with both traditional and western wear in demand.

Classic Traditional Styles

For women, the sari is, of course, the ultimate fashion statement that never goes out of style especially if it has traditional weaves and prints. The salwar kameez - a sort of loose trouser and tunic - which was originally was worn by women in Punjab, has now become the national dress worn by women across the country thanks to its high comfort factor. Other traditional attire like lehenga-choli are still very popular and a must for ceremonial occasions like festivals or weddings.

Traditional men's clothing is also very popular in the country. For leisure-wear, these include the traditional kurta pyjama or lungi with a kurta or shirt. On formal occasions the men bring out their Sherwanis - a long jacket with a Chinese collar - worn with churidar, pyjama or silk dhoti; kurta and traditional head gear.
A new breed of highly talented and trained designers are fast making their mark in the fashion business at home and globally. India is also one of the world's largest exporters of garments, supplying clothes and furnishings to some of the biggest names in the fashion business worldwide.

The Hottest Designers

If you are looking to make a real with-it fashion statement by flaunting a designer dress, then the first name that you will encounter is that of Ritu Kumar. Though better known as the lady who dresses Indian beauties, Kumar is India's foremost designer and is largely responsible for reviving India's textile and embroidery heritage. She has boutiques in India's metros where one can pick her clothes.

Other designers who are creating waves on the international circuit are Ritu Beri who has been showing in Paris for the past few years, Abraham & Thakore who are well known in hi-fashion stores in the UK and Europe, Raghuvendra Rathore, who is well known for his sleek cuts and Anshu Arora who caught the eye of may big retailers when she showcased her modern peppy wearable collection at the India Fashion Week last year.

Another well known designer is Hemant Trivedi who has designed some exquisite outfits for Miss Indias at international beauty pageants. Anita Dongre from Mumbai is known for her classic elegant styles and has also represented India at the IGEDO Fashion Fair, Germany.

India's fashion designers don't design just western wear - they are just as much in demand for making exquisite bridal wear which largely comprises traditional garments and accessories. JJ Vallaya embellishes exotic lehengas with Swarovski crystals, and Muzzafar and Meera Ali have rediscovered the best of Chikankari. Then there are designers like Rohit Bal and Neeru Kumar who have ably led the rediscovery of khadi as a fashion statement for the well-heeled.

Other well known designers are Savio Jon and Wendell Rodricks who hail from Goa, Priyadarshini Rao, Tarun Tahiliani and Manish Malhotra who along with designers like Rocky S are extremely popular in the film industry.

All Indian metros have boutiques that sell expensive hi-fashion garments and designer labels, but there are also plenty of markets, including street markets, that offer terrific value. All you need is a bit of patience, an eye for detail and some good bargaining skills.

Any human is resisting replace. What you propose via previous shaped? You propose, in case you do no longer shelter your loved ones , in case you marry and divorce at will, in case you utilize all cutting-side contraptions, dress at will and don't use your innovations , heart in direction of fellow people you're cutting-side. It applies no longer in basic terms to Indian way of life, yet to any way of life. Care and compassion for others and perception in noble values is a stable way of life, and if this is branded as previous shaped then, that's what's mandatory for people.
