Indian Fashion

Hey fellow adventurers! This is another blog post that I’ve been looking forward to writing! I’ve always been intrigued in Indian fashion but I’ve never looked into it.

Although India has had a popular style of fashion for a long time, Indians have only been interested in the fashion industry since the 1980’s. Popular items of clothing in the pre-1980’s were:

  • Kurta: a loose shirt falling somewhere around the knees, worn by women and men
  • Dhoti: a rectangular piece of unstitched cloth, usually around 15 ft. (4.5 meters) long, wrapped around the waist and the legs and knotted at the waist, worn by men
  • Gagra Coli: the combination of a midriff-baring blouse and waist or hip high long skirt, worn by women
  • Sari: a piece of fabric that is anywhere between 5-9 yards long (4.5-8 meters) wrapped around the waist and draped over the shoulder which symbolizes grace, worn by women

Now a day, there are a few regions that wear only traditional clothing but in most places, you’ll see a mix of traditional and new styles. There are so many different mixtures of styles depending on the occasion, the region and the person’s taste in clothing. Especially in places like Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad, you’ll see more western style clothing. A popular mixture of traditional and western style fashion is wearing a kurti (a shortened kurta) with jeans.

Some popular Indian Instagram accounts that cover fashion:

If you’re like me then you’ve been wondering how women wear saris. I found this YouTube video that explains how to put it on and a couple different ways to style it:

While researching Indian fashion, I came across a Hindi filmed called Fashion that sounds interesting. The audience gave it a score of 70% on Rotten Tomatoes (no critic score available). On Rotten Tomatoes, it’s described: “Set against the glittering backdrop of the glamorous but ruthless world of haute couture fashion, this film tells the story of a small town girl with big city ambitions. Meghna always knew she was meant to be famous, but she was about to find out the hard way that success came at a price. Fashion is the tale of what happens when the price of success becomes too much to pay.” Unfortunately, the trailer I found doesn’t have English subtitles but it’s still interesting to watch:

That’s it for the post on fashion! What’s your favorite aspect of Indian fashion? Please let me know in the comment section below! I’m loving kurtis but I eventually want to get a sari. Thank you so much for reading my blog! Until our next adventure!

  1. Krauthausen. Auf der Homepage sehen sie, wann ein Ort als barrierefrei gilt.

    Falsche Angaben sollen die Nutzer nach dem Wiki-Prinzip selbst korrigieren. Sind
    par exemple alle Räume stufenlos erreichbar, winkt ein grünes
    Fähnchen für “rollstuhlgerecht”. Die Datenbank zeigt auch, welche
    Sehenswürdigkeiten für Rollstuhlfahrer nicht zugänglich
    sind. Auch alte Gebäude mit vielen Stufen seien will nicht gefallen.
    Wheelmap” erfasst wird, zeigt sowohl den positiven, als auch den negativen Bestand in Berlin. Ich bin dankbar, dass derartig Abbild der Situation geschaffen wird”, sagt Jürgen Schneider, Landesbeauftragter
    für Menschen mit Behinderung. Der Grund: Im Falle eines
    Brandes müssen die Besucher auf eine andere Plattform ausweichen – diese ist
    aber nur über Stufen erreichbar. Seit September 2010 ist “Wheelmap” online.
    Das Angebot wird permanent weiterentwickelt, auch fürs Ausland.

    Auf Japanisch, Englisch, Französisch und Italienisch gibt es die Website
    schon, an der portugiesischen und spanischen Version wird gerade gefeilt.
    Im sinne Umfang arbeiten drei bis fünf “Sozialhelden” an “Wheelmap”,
    es gibt mehr ehrenamtlich. 2004 gründete Krauthausen bei seinem Cousin den gemeinnützigen Verein. Seitdem hat sich die Zahl der eingetragenen Orte
    verdoppelt. Einen Schub bekam “Wheelmap” durch die eigene kostenlose App
    für das iPhone. Eines der nächsten Ziele der “Sozialhelden” ist es, das Programm
    auch für andere Handys nutzbar denkbar. 10.000 Downloads wurden für die App schon registriert.
    Seit Anfang des Jahres arbeitet der 30-Jährige hauptberuflich
    für die “Sozialhelden”. Ein weiteres Ziel ist
    es, mehr Unternehmen zu beraten, wie man Orte rollstuhlgerecht
    oder barrierefrei umbauen könnte. Seine Stelle als Online-Programm-Manager beim RBB-Sender “Fritz” hat Krauthausen aufgegeben,
    um sich die kommenden drei Jahre ganz dem inzwischen mehrmals ausgezeichneten Projekt zu widmen. Für den Mann mit das Schirmmütze
    eine “Leidenschaft, die zum Beruf wurde”.
