Ethnic Innovations

The words conjure up images of traditional Indian outfits with an unexpected Western twist – of the voluminous ghagra choli taking on a form-hugging Mermaid cut lehenga, or the Saree transforming into a Saree Gown.

India is witnessing a revival of ethnic wear, as Western sensibilities open up to Indian elements. Indowestern outfits are the perfect epitome of Indian ethnic innovation
