Fusion Fashion - An Emerging Trend

The fashion industry is prone to experimentation. One such experiment which gained popularity is fusion fashion. It is a forever growing area of fashion. Fusion fashion is a creative blend of styles from two or more cultures. Different countries and not just cultures try the flavors of their fashion with others. For instance, in Eastern countries, people are preferring fashion styles from the west and vice versa. People of all ages and classes prefer fusion fashion.

India is a country of variations. Right from languages to clothes, you can get everything in variety. Just like a food item, or a song, fusion works well with fashion too. In any boutique in India, you can find clothes that are fused with two or more cultures. Indian people are also adapting the styles which are inspired by Western culture. A recent trend is a blend of Indian fabrics with cuts and designs from Europe. An example of the same includes a mixture of a cashmere top with a ghagra skirt along with a pashmina stole. This outfit can never go without notice. You can carry it in style. Also, a trend from Europe integrated with American trends hybridized with Indian traditional fabrics is fresh and looks attractive.

This is the time where you can try innovations. The increasing consciousness regarding their looks can make people grow their preferences towards ethnic clothes with a modern hint.

The Indo-western style

Fusion fashion gets  Indian clothes a western touch. For instance, a salwar can be used trousers with a t-shirt. A dupatta can become a stole or a scarf. Also, you can wear a tunic as a kurta. In a dress, the cuts in fabric necklines, waistlines, and some other decorations can are also given a western touch. Mostly, the women get a majority in altering fashion. Hence, a simple-looking kurta gets a spicy and interesting glaze of western touch. You can pair a long kurta with tight-fitting leggings instead of a churidar or salwar. Also, a Patiala salwar is paired with short shirts or some semi-Kurtis. Indian prints glow up a western outfit.

A blend of Indian textures with the western charm is always a good choice. Imagine jeans with an ethnic print that you can pair with a sleeveless Kurti with a Nehru jacket.
