7 Reasons why Handloom Saree is the new Little Black Dress (LBD)
Ever since Coco Chanel created Little Black Dress (LBD) in 1926, it has never gone out of style. For decades, this piece of outfit has ruled the hearts of women and continues to do so even today.
But what makes Little Black Dress timeless and so iconic?
If I were to forego all the fashion jargons and explain in one word. I would say – Versatility. LBD works for every woman, regardless of age, weight or height. With a little change in the accessories, the same LBD can be worn at the boardroom, formal dinner or a party.
No wonder! It is a must have outfit for every woman across the globe, including India. But in the Indian scenario there is one more attire that is drawing the attention of every fashion forward woman. This is none other than the six yards of hand woven fabric called Handloom Sarees.
The history of Indian Handloom dates back to Indus Valley Civilization. Since then it has seen many ups and downs. A sharp decline during Industrial revolution and British Era, its revival with Khadi during India’s Independence Movement and again near extinction situation post 90’s liberalisation.
But like Little Black Dress, Handloom Sarees has also managed to adopt to all the socio – political changes. And today, handloom Sarees are seen everywhere. From street market to runway.. red carpet (or any glam event) to office. Today women from across India proudly flaunts handloom sarees (owned by them) on social media platforms like Instagram. There are dedicated hashtags like #100SareesPact and #IWearHandoom.
