World renowned Designers like John Galliano for Christian Dior , Marc Jacobs for Louis vuitton , Alaxender McQueen and Gianne Versace have been using Indian techniquesto name a few.

Hollywood celebrities also have often expressed their love for Indian Culture bydonning the Indian Attire, most popularly The Saree.

Fashion in India covers a whole range of clothing from ornate clothes designed for weddingceremonies to prt lines, sports wear and casual wear. Traditional Indian techniques of embroiderysuch as chikhan and zardosi, and traditional weaves and fabrics have been used by Indian designers tocreate Indo-western clothing in a fusion of the East and West, allowing the young urban Indians tochoose from the best of both worlds.

The sari is a simple attire that consists of a single, rectangular piece ofmaterial that constantly changes in looks, styles, designs and fabrics from generation to generation.The most popular Indian saris are Banarasi,Kanjeevaram, Bandhej, Chanderi, Chikan, Hakoba, Handloom, Baluchari, Patola, Phulkari and Parsi saris.The Indian Sari

When the girls made headlines with their Indian look at a fashion event, we couldnt help but notice Nicole Scherzingers sari which fitted her perfect owing to her sexy curves!

Another very popular and widespread Indian attire is the salwar kameez.

Many fashion designers in the country are focusing on this beautiful outfit, trying to provide consumers with some of the most unique and exquisite collections of salwar kameezes. Zardosi work on salwar kameezes is evergreen.This dress provides opportunities for a lot of fine embroidery and other ornamental work.

Celebrities are also partaking in this look. Indian jewellery can easily make it into anyone's wardrobe, once they enjoy opulence and glamour. Headbands, bangles, earrings, necklaces- You name it! Indian inspired accessories are a go-to for a formal function or a frocktail with some stylish ladies.

Karl Lagerfeld doesn't believe in subtlety. When he unveiled Chanel's pre-fall 2012 collection in early December in Paris, he showed how. Part of the Metiers d'Arts series, his Paris-Bombay collection had every grand cliche from Indian fashion and more.

The Pre-Fall 2012 collection has pulled off a spectacularly different approach to French chic with a creative twist on Indian couture. The presentation for the new collection showed off an excessively creative set with sensual sights, sounds and smells of India. Traditional Indian pieces of jewelry added to the scene, almost stealing the show from the clothes with its bling. The collection features intricate embroideries, raw silk and other extravagant materials characterise an exquisite combination of delicate Indian handcraft and Parisian fashion. An array of colours blended perfectly, from bright hues to ivory tones, deep pigments of red and shades of gold and silver.

Embellishments: The collection was enriched with intricate pearls, beads and other embroidery, decorating each outfit like icing on the cake. Not only do these embellishments add a bit of bling to each of the pieces, but gave them a certain touch of extravagant uniqueness, having been put together by hand.

Lace: Its been a big year for lace since Kate Middletons divine Alexander McQueen gown at the Royal Wedding in April. Chanel has added lace materials to the collection, enhancing the delicateness in the appearance of the pieces and another trend you will find in-stores everywhere!

This is one aspect where Chanel's Paris-Bombay collection stood out. From the classic tweed to the heavy dose of pearls, each piece was intrinsic to the brand's trademark design. But the addition of full skirts, paired with embellished leggings, seemed to channel the current bridal favourite anarkalis and churidar suits. So will the fashion-conscious, brand-savvy Indian bride's wardrobe include Chanel as well?

Acclaimed designer and queen of bridal coutureVera Wanghad the demi-monde and fashion buzzards raving about her India-inspired fashion show. The designers latest Spring/Summer 2013 line was unveiled at the New York Fashion Runway to an awed audience. Wangs designs have even made believers out of the toughest fashion police with her decision to downplay the cultural baggage of exotic-fetishism for India that most foreign designers succumb to.

The avant-garde seamstress kept her collection simple with bold and monochromatic combinations ingold, blue, whites and greensembellished with delicate Indian embroidery. The silhouettes were clean and tight, with careful attention to detail. Thinly veiledNehru jackets, and brocade cholisin modern avatars dominated the runway withballet-inspired shoesthat were a touch decadent. Wang kept it real with a collection that was royal and racy in the same breath.

Trinidadian designerMeilingdid some really rich designs for theBombay Dreams 3Fashion show, where traditionally patterned silk sarees were used to create garments in Western silhouettes. I always love when people make this combination of using these lustrous fabrics to create an unexpected look.

Marchesas Spring/Summer 2013 collection was heavily influenced by India, an inspiration that resulted in a show of undeniable glamour and opulence. The opening look a tunic, ornately beaded at the chest, cap sleeve, and hem, paired with slim-cut, cropped pants and gold-embroidered flats designed in collaboration with Christian Louboutin was an unexpected if ingenious choice from designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig, the duo who have constructed Marchesa into a label precedented upon evening gowns that are runway to red carpet ready. It was, of course, an indication of apparel to come, in the best of ways.

India InspiredCiting 1960s India as their muse, Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig put an awe-inspiring artisan spin on Marchesas signature show-stopping gowns for the Spring 2013 RTW collection. We love how Marchesa stays true to the saree silhouette in a lot of these looks, showing that the classic Indian style is more than ready for the Western runway. But what really sets Spring 2013 RTW apart from other Marchesa collections is the flawless handcrafted elements on these gowns. Bold brocade, elegant embroidery and stunning sequin work are the hallmarks of Indian fashion, and Marchesa knocked these techniques out of the park.

Sachin + Babi Spring 2013 RTWFor a Bohemian twist on Indian tapestry, were loving the new Sachin + Babi collection. The designers featured tapestry on every silhouette imaginable, from military jackets and mini-dresses to embellished jeans jackets. The brocade on this strapless red mini-dress gives it a gorgeous shine as it hits the runway, and mirror work adds instant impact. Another stunner, the navy and blue sleeveless mini, reminds us why Indian threadwork is so chic. And although were not a fan of the red bikini top, its hard to overlook the innovative pattern on the lehenga-inspired full skirt that closed out the Sachin + Babi runway show.

Taiwanese Canadian fashion designer Jason Wu, 29, also released his India-inspired Pre-Fall 2012 collection in New York at the same time as Paris-Bombay. Manhattan-based Wu sought inspiration in the era of maharajas. There was a streak of jewel tones and splashes of intricate embroidery, fused together with illustrations of American wildlife artist Charley Harper. "Combining the two meant a strict silhouette with stately embellishments," Wu explained.

Jean Paul Gaultier's Indian inspired Spring 1994 collection from Vogue April 1994Jean Paul GaultiersSpring 1994 collection. Using heavy Indian influences like a digital Rupee print, Gaultier accessorized his collection with nose-rings and other traditional tribal Indian jewelry.French shoe designer Christian Louboutin included the Bollywood shoes in his Spring/Summer 2012 collection, just in time for the opening of the label's first store in New Delhi. Adorned with Rajasthani needlework and kundan stones, the festive-looking shoe might woo fashionistas abroad with its 'exotic' appeal, but the gaudy design and bright colours are unlikely to find place in the style-conscious Indian diva's wardrobe.

While the designers fall collection was reminiscent of India, this one, named The Duchess of Windsor: Exotic Gardens, Fiery Skies and the Arabian Sea, drew heavily from Morocco, with geometric patterns taken from traditional art, floral imagery and fiery desert sunsets. Mr. Khan brought these concepts to fruition through prints, beading, threadwork and laser cuts in his signature dresses as well as in separates, and gravitated toward black, white and blue hues.Naeem Khan
