The legacy of handmade Indian fashion
Indian fashion has a long history which is interesting to follow. In the past ‘kurtas’ and 'Om shirts' had their hits in 60s and 70s.However in January 2000, Ritu Beri presented her Summer 2000 collection in Paris, France. The first Indian fashion designers to exhibit their innovations at the world's largest prêt-a-porter fair in Germany, IGEDO,Wendell Rodricks and Anita Dongre made history the world over.
These designs are unique in that they carry the significance of the Indian style whilst bearing a global wear ability concept. The last decade has seen the Indian fashion industry growing significantly. This also brought the embroidery and traditional Indian fabric into fashion worldwide and has brought Indian fashion onto the centre stage of the global fashion industry.
Considering the fact that Paris and New York are at the forefront of dictating fashion trends, India has proved to stand the taste of time with its instinctive handmade Indian clothes. It has a great fabric legacy and isn't showcased in museums, but is found in the hands of its craftsmen.
The whole world stands at awe at the craftsmanship and designs of the Indians when it comes to embroidery and beading. Traditional designs and colour with an advanced Morden feel gives it a whole new interpretation that is appreciated all over the world.
