Picture this: A simple innocent woman steps out, draped in a six yard long piece of cloth, exuding elegance and poise. Doesn’t this bring the image of a typical Indian femme to your mind? Certainly, it does.
India, the land of culture, the land of art, fashion definitely stands out as a country of elegant couture. The ‘saree’ being the epitome of the traditional wear, the Indian woman carries this convoluted outfit with sheer modishness.
Bollywood divas like Aishwarya Rai and Rani Mukherjee to name a few, set the ramp on fire with their sizzling beauty exaggerated by the saree.
Though the influence of the West in the style of dressing of these stars seems very prominent, nothing can ever replace this ever existent, classy traditional Indian outfit.
This six yard cloth piece is not only a mere outfit but also an ornament which adorns the Indian woman, making her look as a complete alluring lady. It is a symbol of pliability, continuity and timelessness of our age old tradition.
Keeping in line with the diversity that India showcases, there is a wide range of gorgeous saree’s from various regions of the country. Be it the ‘Bandhani’ from the West or ‘Paithani’ from Maharashtra or ‘Gadwal’ from Banaras or the ‘Kanjeevaram’ from the South, all of these have their individual uniqueness and importance which adds to the overall flavor and essence to enhance the splendor of the Indian woman.
Internationally too, the Indian saree has acquired its value with branding making its mark in this branch of the fashion industry.
