Indian Bridal Wears – Symbols of Ethnicity Since Centuries

2013-05-22T18:14:00.001+05:30

The Indian bridal wears have been the part of the country’s marriage rituals and cultural traditions. It is believed that wedding sarees, the most popular bridal wears worn in different states, were popular in 1000 BC as well. Lehnga choli, another popular form of wedding costumes in India, was introduced by the Mughals.

These costumes have evolved in terms of design over many centuries. Today, the skilled craftsmen as well as renowned fashion designers significantly contribute towards the contemporary styles of costumes for Indian brides. The brides in the western countries usually wear a white wedding gown that resembles the Indian wedding lehngas. However, there are many things that differentiate between the two.

The bridal wears in India are known for their vibrant colors. One can find them in the lively and glittering shades like red, maroon, magenta and pink. Lehngas are designed in many other colors like gold, blue, green and saffron. Such a wide choice of colors for bridal wears is hard to find in any other part of the world.

The bridal sarees are mainly designed using chiffon or silk. Some of the popular designs for these Indian bridal wears include Banarasi sarees, pure Kanjivaram, leheriya georgette and many more. Crafted in different states by expert craftsmen, many of these sarees take a long time in the process of designing. Sarees with intricate and irresistible patterns and designs obviously cost higher. For example, sarees with zari work and those with woven embroidery consume great efforts of the skilled designers. So, they are among the expensive bridal wears.

Lehnga choli is a popular bridal wear in the north Indian weddings. These Indian bridal wears are highly attractive and carry more weight than sarees. Some parts of the country known these bridal dresses by names like ghaghra and sharara. Straight cut ghaghra choli is the most popular variety of these clothes. Besides, one can find them in another popular style called fish cut ghaghras.

Embroidered lehnga cholis are highly preferred for the type of elegance they offer. Many of the lehnga designs are embellished with fine materials like sequins, beads, diamantes, pearls, kora and real stones as well. Lehngas with mirror work, zari work and patch work too are among the admirable Indian bridal wears. The use of these dresses in Bollywood movies and Indian TV shows has pushed their popularity to a higher level.

Bridal suits, mainly the bridal salwaar kameez, are great wedding wears as well. Though, their use is limited to few communities only. For example, the Sikh weddings usually have brides dressed up in these beautiful dresses. Mostly found in red and pink colors, these bridal dresses are light and highly comfortable to wear. A duppata is a common accessory with bridal suits as well as bridal lehngas.

Designer Indian bridal wears are taking these cultural dresses to the world. Many ace fashion designers from the country design these dresses with a great contemporary look and feel. This is the reason that Indian wedding dresses are highly regarded in different countries and are great items of interest for brides from these countries.

Jennifer Lawrence: “I Love Photoshop” - Vogue.co.uk

2013-03-02T10:43:00.000+05:30

JENNIFER LAWRENCE has confessed her love of airbrushing. The 22-year-old - who took home the Best Actress award at this year's Oscars - believes that a little digital altering of photographs is no bad thing.

"I love Photoshop more than anything in the world," she told Access Hollywood. The actress is the current face of the Miss Dior handbag, starring in the current spring/summer 2013 campaign. Of the images, Lawrence said: "Of course it's Photoshop - people don't actually look like that."

Lawrence was wearing a Dior Couture gown designed by Raf Simons when she accepted her Oscar - a moment now forever etched in Academy Awards history thanks in no small part to her graceful fall when stepping up to the stage.

"Dior represents beauty and strength in women, that's how I feel when I'm wearing his clothes. It makes you feel so confident," said Lawrence in a video from behind-the-scenes on the shooting of the campaign. "The Miss Dior bag is a classic look - it's a timeless bag that you can wear anywhere, at any age. I've always been a huge fan of Dior and being a part of something with such an incredible history is an honour."

What Influences the Range of Women Apparels Launched Regularly

2012-10-10T17:18:00.003+05:30

Fashion never remains constant and follows the footsteps of time to change. The main factor responsible for the varying trends of fashion clothing is the contributions that fashion designers and brands make all over the world. Women apparels are undoubtedly the main fashion items that are regularly introduced in wide ranges across the fashion markets worldwide.

What inspires the individuals and companies involved in women fashion designers? There is no single factor, but many that govern the women clothing designs and varieties. Needless to say, the designers get inspired by these factors and the ideas they take are suggested by diverse needs, tastes and preferences of the buyers and users. Here is a discussion about these factors.

Age and Body Stats

Teenagers have fashion sense that differs from that of women in their 20s. Aging women too have their ideas and preferences about fashion apparels. Women apparels for different age groups vary in terms of styles and colors. Another contributing factor is the body statistics which extends the available varieties of clothing. A tall and slender body shape demands different styles of apparels than women with shorter height.

Weathers and Environments

The fashion of women clothing designs is also commanded by different weather and climatic conditions. Fabrics, colors and designs differ in this regard. In terms of environments, women who work or actively participate in social gatherings set more inspirations for the fashion designers. Special events like proms, late-night parties, dinner parties, formal get-togethers and weddings demand for special women apparels. Those associated with the glam world are known to define the changing trends of fashion apparels.

Cultural Influences

Designers of women apparels don’t restrict their ideas to a particular culture these days. Inspirations are drawn from different regions of the world. For example, the ethnic women clothing designs from India are quite famous in the western fashion world. Some of the most prominent examples include kurtis, tunics, ladies suits, sarees and wedding attires. Clothes designed using artworks like embroidery have impressively secured place among the fashion styles. Likewise, there are many cultures in different parts of the world that guide the fashion brands to expand the range in different ways.

Comfort Meets Fashion

Women today have managed to attain the perfect balance between style and comfort. The fashion companies are leaving no stone unturned to make both the goals achievable for the keen buyers. No matter to which walk of life they belong, women wish to look good and feel comfy in whatever they wear. In other words, the amalgamation of casual and formal apparels has taken place.

Finally, cost can be considered as an important factor deciding the range of women apparels. Designers are more interested in entertaining buyers with different budgets in hand. However, they are not willing to reduce the importance of fashion even a bit in their creations and this means that fashionable apparels are becoming more general for the women.

The range of these fashion items extends further as fashion stores import them from all over the world. It is a matter of few minutes for women to choose trendy apparel that might have been designed in some other continent.
