BA2 THEORY CLASS - FASHION IN SOCIETY - FASHION IN INDIA GROUP SEMINAR PRESENTATION
FASHION IN INDIA. VANDANA BHANDARI. 2007.
1. FUSION FASHION
While Western styles have become more acceptable in India, traditional Indian styles have infiltrated Western fashion. Indian fashion - its styles and textiles - have fused with Western ones to provide contemporary fashions for Indians, as well as for the global marketplace. (Bhandari in Welters and Lillethun, 2011, pp.551-555).
From this week's Guardian, Chinese new year as marketing event
For a city-sized snapshot of how China's international image has changed, try this. At the beginning of this century, in London and New York, Chinese new year was something that happened in Chinatown. To the non-Chinese, it meant paper dragons and fortune cookies. Ancient culture, tasty food. Fast forward to 2014, and Chinese new year is a major event on the international society map, a retail red-letter day from Bond Street to Fifth Avenue, and a major driver of income. (Cartner-Morley, 2014).
Chinese designers
Huishan Zhang, 2012.
His polished, ladylike aesthetic, often featuring embroidered Chinese tropes such as pagodas, has got real worldwide appeal (Cochrane, 2012).
