The Indian garment

Recounting our history, Indian garments have been quite a trendsetter. Most of the recent designs in today’s fashion have been an inspiration from the past fabricated with recent technology in the present and have been highly appreciated. For instance the recent fashion weeks that had a glamorous display of artistic talent, vibrance in attires with display of colour and designs had been an inspiration from the natural beauty prevailing in the environment. Peacock designs, animal prints and colour combinations had been exhibited with much creativity an arty. The ironic fact is that in ancient days when technology of colour mixing and dye had not been invented, people used colours and designs from the surrounding ambience they dwelled in. in those days colours were obtained from careful cutting of vegetables and selected shrubs till they would get powdered, colours then obtained would be dried and mixed with water and then made ready for use.
The garment called saris, which in older days was worn by women to signify feminity and their married status is now worn as a fashion statement. The difference being in the way it is worn and with the varied blouses available in the market it can be made very appealing and desirable. The latest fashion of saris with the palla being thin can be observed even during pre independence days in the highly royal families. Another Indian garment, the suits have been in much rage in the west of late. In our own motherland the revival of the pajama suits that emphasizes on the skin tight pajamas for the legs has also been a muse from the sixties era. The Patiala’s worn by college goers now was a range in the north of India during our parents and fore parents period. Fashion in itself has been of repetitive occurrence after every two decades but the Indian attires are perennial and legendary since they never die a death, they are untimely precious. Women even during the mughal era wore suits with a layering of skirts on certain occasions. On others they would wear saris in different styles varying on their area of dwelling. For eg: hyderabadi or tanjore.in short suits and saris bring about the very essence of a woman. It defines the woman to be an individual of high character and moral. the jeans can be said to be a derivative of our pajamas, the skirts as a miniature version of our heavy lehenga’s.its the Indian mind after all be it in fashion or mathematics!!!!!!!!!!!
