Fashion refers to the way we style our garments. On a basic nine to five basis too, there are certain opportunities where fashion is crucial. When there is a Freshers’ Program at college, fest at college or a friend’s birthday party, fashion matters the most and is quintessential beyond comprehension. Women’s fashion has evolved, and been evolving since time unknown. Starting from a single drape saree in the ancient times, we now have ready to wear sarees which can be worn easily in one minute. The transition from no blouse to blouse was a direct aftermath of the colonization of India.
When India was colonized by the Britishers, there were loads of cultural changes which consequently took place. The colonial rulers considered women’s bare shoulders to be “vulgar “, compelling them to cover their bare shoulders with a fitted, sewn piece of clothing called the blouse. In Kolkata, Gyanada Nandini Devi, the sister-in-law of the eminent Bengali author Rabindranath Tagore, started the trend of blouse, initiating a new wave in the fashion industry. Western clothes, including dresses and gowns, jeans t-shirt, also gained massive popularity amid the colonial aftermath. Even several decades later, in the nineteenth century, when Bollywood was as afresh and new as the dawn , western apparels were worn by actresses for movie songs and later on became one of the key ways to identifying classical hindi film vamps .
