Women Fashion, It is interesting to see how the Sarees are adopted to local culture. The most notable element that changes is the color combination and this saree reflects that as well. Other day I was at a Bangladeshi restaurant in Los Angeles, a place that is perfectly nestled in the Little Bangladesh area, and I watched the Bangladeshi satellite channel. Interestingly, all the newscasters and almost all of the female guests were wearing sarees, or sharis as they call it.
And it occurred to me that except for showcasing Bibi’s designs off and on, I haven’t been posting any pics from Bangladesh.
Indian Saree, The photo of Katrina and Amir is for a coffee table book on romance in Indian Cinema, Katrina in Light Blue Indian Saree with Greenish Blouse and greensih Palu. The iconic poster is in the background. I think they are making Guru Dutt movie.
Indian Saree, Indian Saree Fashion is most popular fashion in the world, I like this saree. There is an inherent glow to the saree and I like the mesmerizing pallu and understated border.
The design of the blouse is consistent with the theme of the saree. Some might say that this saree is slightly outdated, may be, but as saree designs go, I like it.What I hate about this is that the execution of the blouse – seems like it is trying to provide support where she doesn’t need… let me just leave it at that.
Pakistani model Vaneeza Ahmed in a saree inspired ensemble. I don’t want to call this a trouser saree; but it is close.
I have seen some really interesting pictures of her in sarees, hopefully I’ll get a chance to show some more.
I am really delighted to hear that sarees are being popular again in Pakistan – after several decades of ban as unpatriotic, it is becoming a trendy thing to wear.
Western culture is developing a grand love affair with the distinctive fashion style that is India. Along with Indian music and spirituality, Indian Clothing is having a huge impact on the mainstream identities of western style and culture.
Sari, Choli & Shalwar Kameez
The latest designer shows from Armani, Fendi, and Miyake all draw on elements from the exotic Indian culture. In Paris Dries Van Noten, one of the new fashion leaders and member of the so-called Belgian Four, presented a collection of layered chiffon wraps, dresses, saree, and kurta look-alikes. The color palette these western designers are drawing from is as vibrant as a Rajasthan desert at sundown, using rich golds, reds, and greens.
Choli & Shalwar
Indian designers like Sunita Shankar, Vandanna Roy, Ritu Beri, Monisha Jaising, Ravi Bajaj and Krishna Mehta are leading the way in redefining Indian fashion. Rohit Bal presented his latest collection, Sanskrit, at a New York benefit gala organized by Children’s Hope, and stunned the audience with exquisite embroidery, beadwork, and tie-dye fashions with a decidedly Indian flair.
Many U.S. design companies are taking Indian fashion and transforming it for western audiences. Silk Threads in Dallas, TX is a premier provider of dresses based on Indian design.
