Fusion Wear – Ethnic, yet Modern


Fusion wear – the fine blend of ethnicity with modern accents; have been incorportae din the global fashion market. Indian Anarkalis are a perfect examples of contemporary Indian fusion dressing and spreading like hot cakes!

What is an anarkali? It's a skirt like framework but atatched to a top that covers the torso that looks like a blouse accompanied with a fitted churidar. Most recent fashion patternshave ditched the churidar (clinging pants that go with it) and the dupatta (the long stole) and re-created the Anarkali that resembles a ball gown, instead.

Many stars have adopted this trend and are wearing anarkalis as fusion dresses, discovering a unique blend of ethnicity with modern touches, like never before. The elegance of an anarkali is no less than any formal ball-gown for that matter, while the beautiful artwork inthe form of stone-work, patch-work or embroidery has a rich taste of its own.

Vikrish Tip : Get one of your old anarkalis to a tailor and get it custom made into a fusion gown, by letting go of the churidar and duppata , removing any sleeves and make it into a bustier with a low back. Viola, you’re the show stealer!
