Ethnicity and authenticity: FROM THE ROOTS



India is a land of multitude culture and tradition and within the radius of 500 km the culture, food, and of course fashion. It is amazing to see, that within the country there is a diversification of fashion and clothing which could be due to the weather condition and culture of the society. We are blessed to be a country with such range of sartorial choices. Traditional Indian clothing dates back more than a thousand years back. Different fabrics were chosen for different types of traditional dresses, mainly to suit the weather of the region. Art inspired traditional attire have gave birth to beautiful Sarees and ethnic Salwars such as Churidhars and fabulous jewellery that reflected the rich cultural heritage of the people.

The fact that each and every state of the country has its own distinct traditional clothing for men and women is what makes the Indian couture so very unique. Women’s clothing in India varies widely and is closely related to local culture, religion and climate. The culture, religion, language and attire of the people of India are as diverse as the landscape of this vast country. Due to its diversity India does not have just one dress, which can be called as the National Dress of the country.



If we are more speaking about the roots of Indian Fashion and Couture, we need to stretch back to 2500 BC, where India was a rich cultivator of cotton and silk reeling during the Harappan civilization. Cave paintings from the Indus Valley Civilization have depicted the human form with clothes that were mainly wrapped around the body. This is where Sarees and Dhotis came into being. The tradition of Silk Sarees dates back to this era, where women from aristocratic families draped themselves with opulent Silk fabrics.


Through years and ages of being ruled over by various dynasties, the fashion of the day changed accordingly. One of the most impactful was the Mughal dynasty. It gave birth to today’s most sophisticated and famous dress – the Anarkali. Indian clothing is colourful and free flowing and reflects the country’s cultural and ethnic diversity and is designed to be comfortable in the scorching heat of the Indian summer. The majority of Indian fashion and clothing history is influenced by Hindu traditions, though increasingly younger Indians look to the globalized fashion world for cross-cultural styles.
