I don’t know why Indians look up to the West for fashion. In India, if we look our heritage, our trends in fashion are multifold. Right from salwar kameez to skirts to sarees to kurtas; all have its origin in the past and are available in multi shades, shapes, and designs.
Take, for instance, salwar kameez. This wear traces back its origin to the 16th century and is available in various shapes and designs, viz, churidar, patiala kameez, anarkali churidar, etc. As you all know, we have already discussed about anarkali churidar in my earlier post. So let me take this opportunity to talk about another style of salwar kameez, i.e., Patiala.
Patiala Kameez derived its name from the name of the city of Punjab. According to historical records, the king of Patiala used to wear baggy, pleated pants with his kurta and the design looked so comfortable and beautiful that the women of the kingdom started copying it. Thus, this beautiful and comfortable wear derived. Loud colors like orange, yellow, green, and other colors of wilderness often gives a chic look in a Patiala Salwar Kameez. Party wear Patiala Salwar Kameez with a lot of embellishments in the Kameez and dupatta are in trend these days. The dupatta of this kameez is generally heavily loaded with kundan stones and other costly crystals.
This comfortable kameez was mostly worn by women in Punjab but now days, as I mentioned, people are so keen to follow new trends that this kameez also became style within no time. And why not when bollywood actress like Kareena Kapoor sizzles in movies wearing this comfortable wear. How can you forget the colorful Patiala that she wore in Jab We Met, in which has performed the role of a girl from Bathinda, Punjab?
Nevertheless, I am really planning to sizzle this New Year with this billowing loose pajamas and a stylish kurta with lot of embellishments to add grace to the party mood that is taking its round everywhere. What say guys?
The other day, in a wedding I happened to meet my friend who is a professional fashion designer and somebody who is finicky about her look and fashion. Looking at her footwear, I was really surprised. I asked her why she is wearing a slipper kind footwear on a wedding eve. Looking at my not-so-happy and cynical face she said, “They are not any slippers darling… these are Kolhapuri Chappals, which are in trend these days.” “Kolhapuri chappals …” I thought, “it sounds so cheap…. And it reminded me of the song Main Kolhapur se aayi hoon … Lolz!!!”
ethnic. Trust me; it is bound to be a super hit in the fashion world. And above all, women can go in for a variety of Kolhpuri chappals, each of which can match with their sari or dress color as I have done. As they contain a zari border, Kolhapuri chappals can be ideally used for formal wear too. Evergreen favorites of many Indians, Kolhapuri chappals are most popular and not too heavy on the budget too. On the overall, they are quite sturdy, durable and long lasting in use.” Listening to her I wondered, “Is she true or just picking on me?” But anyway I agreed to her because hearing such things right from the horse’s mouth and not believing it is really not done.
The much-heated Copenhagen summit has finally come to an end. People all around the world are doing anything and everything for a ‘Green’ future. We Indians were always for it … Isn’t it? Remember, Gandhiji, the Great Father of the Nation, who revolutionized the use of Khadi, an organic fabric. Yes, it’s since then we Indians are striving towards a sustainable future. Even our fashion is chiefly inspired by natural fabrics, viz, Khadi, silk, jute, etc. Clothes and accessories woven out of natural fabric like khadi, silk, cotton, etc. have been our first priority. Even populace around the globe is inspired by our style of clothing and fashion. And why not when being environment friendly is the mantra of all conscious citizens nothing can compete with products made of jute or cloth.
women during sexual union as the carbon emitted during the sexual union is minimized by wearing a metallic (Gold, Silver) ornament in the nose. Thus, the Indian aesthetic befittingly adorns the female nose with an inspired ornament, which highlights its amorous connotations. Indeed, it is the most seductive ornament anyone woman can wear!
I have heard people saying that life is a cycle. Howsoever we become modern, unknowingly or knowingly we tend to move back to our older roots. I completely agree to this! This is evident even in the fashion trends. Women these days, especially in India, are going back to the old style of dressing. For instance, if you check the recent trends in Indian women couture, you will find that
