Textile Value Chain|October 2019
India has given the world yoga, architecture, heritage, traditions. One more contribution that must be added to the list is fashion. India has long been a muse to the international fashion. The sheer amount of diversity and influences that designers can draw from every region is immense, and no other country can come close to it. 1With the world communities coming closer, the influence of Indian culture and heritage on international fashion is only growing. Indian fashion designers have contributed a lot in the international fashion arena with their incomparable weaves, embroideries, fabrics and designs by bringing together their vast expertise, creativity and innovation. In this paper attempt has been made to discuss the application of Indian traditional accessories, draping styles, to create western silhouettes. The headgears used in ancient India footwear’s like jutties and mojdi Indian maangtika and various embellishment used in bridal jewelries are kept as an inspiration by international designers to make a fusion in the fashion world.
