The
dhoti covers both the legs and is tucked in behind from between
the legs. The sari is made of cotton, silk and many other
materials. The turban made the wearer stand tall as it filled
him with pride.
While
the traditional garments still breathe, India has the nerve
of western wear too. On the world map India geographically
stands far apart from Paris. But when we're talking about
fashion. India has made its statement on the international
scenario.
The
world is always hungry for something different. Although off-shoulders,
deep necks are perennially in vogue. The
Indian fashion salwar khameez
and the exquisite national dress - the sari have claimed the
heart of the European haute couture.

RECONSTRUCTION
Ritu
Beri, Rohit Bal, Monisha Jaising, Ravi Bajaj and Krishna Mehta
have put Indian fashion on the international charts. They
have pumped new blood into the veins of the Indian dress.
Giving the world a peek into handwork, glasswork and other
handicrafts that was only confined to the Indian wall.
Fashion
is taking off in this country too. People are growing fashion
conscious. They buy clothes according to the colours of the
season. Well-suited accessories and apparel play an important
role for the overall look of the dress.
Even
men are looking at fashion in the eye. Justice is done to
sleeveless and body-fitting t-shirts, colourful patterned
shirts and trousers. The bland self-coloured shirt is changing
into stripes, chequered and a variety of body complementing
designs.
But
this does not suggest that the traditional outfits are losing
control over the western wear. Traditional outfits are expressed
even more strongly with new twists and turns. Uneven hemlines,
Kolhapuri
slippers, short kurtas, are a few of the conventional looks that are
given to the traditional Indian wear.
Branded
or not branded every Indian tries to give himself a different,
more fashion oriented look. Modern in mind and body is the
look that is seizing the Indian of today.
