IS INDIAN FASHION AN OVERDO.......?????.

  a statement..."I HAVE NOTICED A TREND IN INDIAN FASHION TO OVERDO,TO OVER-EMBELLISH CLOTHES.FASHION DOES NOT MEAN OPULENCE.- SONIA GANDHI @nift Raibarely convocation (source "The Times of India ,Patna Times)

As being a Niftian and a Fashion design student I not fully agree with this not completely dis agree with this .A designer is the one who makes or suggest clothes according to its customers taste,viewpoint ,social status and occasion.and going through the Indian Heritage it is always been rich in textiles and brocades embroideries. what is done in our country cannot be found in any part of the world and as Indian we are all proud of it and if anyone is getting garment he/she will defiantly not go for something  simple because reports say Indian wedding are the most expensive and lavish wedding in the world . We celebrate most no of festivals. We as a part of Asia we go for maximilation do more ,we wear more .with such things keeping in mind is it fair to just wear simple clothes ??........for obvious reason a bride will not wear a western wear for   such occasions . As a designer we need to strike a balance between the work and appearance.we need not to just emphasis on  embellishment but also on textiles .As for me it is an art of depicting our rich heritage what we are a part of  our culture and creativity has no limit and so has fashion without any defined boundaries.but a harmony should be made so that the garment does not look like an antique showpiece and what is bad in showing what we are good at  the present generation of designers have taken it forward in a glorified manner they have worked on textiles and have given a new dimensions for it. but keeping it apart we will defnetly not prefer to wear it in daily wear or saying it we have different occasions and we have variety in that and thanks to Indian fashion industry we have designers who work for Indian ethnic wear as well as for the daily or western wear garments also ..and it all strucks to the occasion ......and I am proud to be a part of it.
