On the twenty-first of August, our Wearable History class took a trip to downtown Bowling Green, to visit Mosaic Confinement Studio. The studio had an old-fashioned vibe, and was like a vintage-garment haven. There, we were asked to choose a piece that we thought was vintage, identify the time period it actually came from, and also take some additional notes on the style and the garment’s details. After searching through multiple racks, the first piece I found was a lace blazer. It turned out to only be vintage-inspired, so I went searching again. I came across a few other pieces, but nothing was really jumping out at me. Eventually, I came across a lavender dress that immediately made me think of Julia Roberts in “Mystic Pizza”, and I knew I found my garment.

In chapter five of Suitably Modern, Mark Liechty discusses the action of “doing fashion” and how it affects the middle class and consumption in Kathmandu. Chapter five poses the question; what is new and what is not? This concerns the class distinctions and if modernization is actually occurring. The middle class in Kathmandu is claiming its own domain through clothing and ostracizing themselves. The author deems this action as adornment he defines it by stating, “It is used to set individuals and groups apart from some and to signal sameness”. Adornment can be a class distinction but also a gender role distinction. Women practice adornment to be indifferent in their relationships with men. For example women can chose to use flashier make-up which can distinguish a married woman from an unmarried woman. Liechty associates fashion with freedom. Film coming to Kathmandu quickly generated the modernization of fashion and consumption. Films exposed the residents to different types of fashion. Ultimately, the middle class wants its own cultural zone; through fashion and consumption it hopes to completely fit in with one another and still be distinct from other classes.
...ococo patterns with henna paste, this act is also known as Mehendi. The groom wears a traditional sari while his bride is decorated in bright colors, flowers and yellow/gold jewelry, she also wears a women’s sari.
Additionally, cotton and silk were used for women’s clothing more often than men’s. Women’s clothing trends are broken into three categories— rich, poor, and children's.
The short story “Clothes” by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is about a young Indian woman, Sumita, and her cultural transition to America that is symbolized by her clothes and the color of her clothes. The traditional Indian attire for a woman is a sari and each one has its own purpose. Her clothes also indicate her progression from daughter, to wife, to woman.
“For as long as men and women have been wearing clothing, there has been a hierarchy based on garments. The clearest example arose when the sexes were segregated into skirts and pants: women would only wear dresses (a symbol of submission) and men would only wear trousers (proof of domination). Women’s clothing was created to impede and hamper movement (through tight or many layered skirts), while men enjoyed the ease and comfort of pant legs.” (Meza, Echazarreta) Women’s fashion throughout the ages can be used to trace the history of equality between men and women. As women achieved greater independence, they claimed the right to choose what they wore, and that included women being able to wear pants. There are three things that were instrumental in making it socially acceptable for women to wear pants, they include: the invention of the bicycle, WWII, and influential women.
...enture into overseas market comes with expectations as well as uncertainties due to unfamiliarity. Charles and Keith, the fashion retailer, has to understand clearly that what appeals in one market might not be accepted in the others and this is almost the same for all industries. Thus, a thorough research on cultural background has to be done before entering an unfamiliar ground.
Each culture has its own manner of clothing and features that define them. Arab women and their "hijab". The PuertoRican women with their "bomba" and "plena" clothes. Around the world, several clothes are observed that although the majority are not used in the daily life are considered typical clothes, a symbol that represents a culture. Similarly, it happens with the physical appearance. People try to classify a person only by observing their traits. In the past, this technique would have worked but today it is only a stereotype. A person of white complexion, blond hair and light eyes was considered a British or American but today a person from another country like South Africa can have these traits. Today, the mixture of nationalities and races is commonly observed. When people moves abroad, this element can be affected by the culture of this country. Their appearance and dress change because the way of dressing and fashion is
From a historic point of view, Western travelers had remarked on the slow pace of lifestyle and fashion change in Turkey and Persia. On the other hand, many people were of the opinion that the western culture is getting out of hand in terms of dressing fashion (Cumming 234). In most cases, change of fashion and dressing style took place hand in hand with economic and social changes. In the developing world, changes in fashion began with the coming of the whites in Middle East. Changes began in the 11th century when the Turks came to central Asia and Far East. In Europe, continuous change in clothing fashion is believed to have started in middle 14th century. It started by a sudden introduction of shortening and tightening of male garments, it further brought the introduction of trousers and leggings that were worn by men (Cumming 235). After the advent of change in men fashion, it was followed by changes in female c...
The groom will wear many different outfits throughout the day of the ceremony. He will wear a Dhoti and some type of shirt until he arrives at the bride’s house. A Dhoti is an unstitched garment that tied to the waist and covers a majority of the legs. Upon arrival he will be wrapped with a sheet. When it’s time for the ceremony to the groom could be seen wearing a white silk suit, a sword and a turban but it may vary in different locations.

For hundreds of years, clothing has always been a way for people to express themselves and as the fashion trends continue to change it allows younger minds to open up and have fun creatively to express their personality’s through clothing.

Though this time of 21st century in India mostly people are affected by glamorous world and style of fashion but still they have not forgotten our traditions and culture which is the priority and symbol of our
It is very well said that fashion comes from within ourselves and not what we see and copy. It is reflected in our attitude, the way we walk, talk or even eat. There are no boundaries set as to what is fashionable and what is not. Whatever makes us happy, comfortable and confident is fashion and that is something that we should keep in mind. Fashion has become an integral part of any contemporary society. It is an omnipresent aspect of our lives and is one of the focal topics of the print and electronic media, television and internet, advertisements and window displays in shops and malls, movies, music, modes of entertainment etc. Though the term ‘fashion’ is often used synonymously with garment, it actually has a wider connotation.
