Kids Ethnic Fashion Evolution
For thousands of years women in India
have been wearing traditional outfits. Depending upon the region the outfits
and the fabric differ but the custom remains same. Even in modern times for
important occasions, festivals, marriages and other religious events importance
is given to the traditional wear.
To understand the evolution of Ethnic
fashion we have to go back in time. The most loved Ethnic wear ‘Anarkali’ is
inspired from the Mughal Era were the female courtesan would wear tight
chudidar with long Kurti. This outfit makes one look slimming and elegant.
‘Lehenga’ is another ethnic outfit which is a full flared embroidered skirt
with a matching blouse and a dupatta. A bride loves to include beautiful
sequenced lehengas in their bridal clothes collection.
During the Swadeshi movement in India,
Khadi was used on a large scale. Women would wear sarees in the old style.
However with time, women started experimenting with fashion and discovered the
modern way of draping a saree.
As cosmopolitan culture slowly stared
immerging, life became fast. Traditional wear would take time so came in the
trend of wearing kurtis and salwars. With time, women started experimenting
with this ethnic wear by pairing it with western dresses and making an
Indo-western look which looks chic and modern.
