Spiritual Sari Collection by 6Yards & More...

When it comes to Spirituality and Indian Fashion together, you can simply go for 6Yards & More's saree collection. The Gita updesha written on saris conjures the higher power, enlightened thought while the flute, peacock feather and Om symbols signifies prayer and meditation. The colors pay tribute to various spiritual philosophies such as: white for peace & cleanliness of mind, green for self-respect & well being, pink for love, orange for energy & power and blue for inspiration & tranquility.

The designer Neerja Bhasin has tried to combine the spirituality and materialism to create an exclusivity in her collection.

Lola's world Shop – Reviving Indian Craft with French Spirit

The very interesting 'mother and child' concept store located in the capital city Delhi, Lola's world has everything for children from infant to 12 years. They also offer some fashionable outfits for men and women.

Now...you must be wondering that how Lola's world Shop is associated with Crafusion and why are they featured in our blog?

Well...we saw something unique in their creations that matched with Crafusion's theme. That uniqueness was their creative use of Indian traditional craft techniques in contemporary styles. Even though being a French label yet most of their products are made in India and probably that is the main reason that we can see an essence of Indian craftsmanship in their garments and accessories. Lola's World weaves sophisticated European designs with authentic Indian fabrics like: cotton, pashmina, khadi, silk etc. to produce a fusion of kurtas, skirts, dresses, pants, shirts and leggings. The tribal and beaded jewelry presented by Lola's World Shop helps to Jazz it up.

We were also fascinated by the bags that were made of leather with Kantha embroidery, some bags were made with the hand-painted art showing day to day life of India. These bags are very versatile and can also be used to carry your daily treasures.

Indian Tradition Adorned by The World

The Indian ethnic wear has become a new fashion statement by contemporizing the traditional attire. Indian traditional wear has become a rage not only for women in India but in worldwide. The French fasion brand Chanel recently launched its Sari-Sque gown collection inspired by Indian sarees.

Some of the recent examples of few international female celebrities can be seen below who have been seen in sare of late. From Begum Inaara Aga Khan (the 2^nd wife of Aga Kha IV) to Hollywood celebrities like: Lady Gaga, Victoria Beckham, Paris Hilton, Anne Hathway, Blake Lively and more have carried off Indian Saree very well.

                

                            

Another traditional wear for women comes as Salwar Kameez. Not to forget the pretty look of Late Princess Diana where she had worn a lovely off-white salwar kameez at an event in India. Recently the hollywood actors Uma Thurman and Debra Messing were seen in salwar kameez in NYC for their TV series Smash. Similarly Catherine Rusoff was seen in a salwar kameez with heavy embroidered panels, dupatta and traditional jewelry at the red carpet.

Its not just the women who are adopting Indian attire but men also don them very well. Recently an American stand-up comedian Jay Leno donned a sherwani suit. Another such example can be seen where the hollywood blogger Perez Hilton wore a sherwani for his birthday.

Lot of credit for this much demanded Indian fashion goes to our Indian designers who have been experimenting and showcasing Indian craft and tradition along with exotic embellishments & uniqueness.
