From Maharajas to Millennials: The Journey of Indian Attire

Indian ethnic fashion is not just clothing—it’s a legacy. From the opulent garments of Mughal emperors to the graceful drapes of ancient temples, Indian fashion has always reflected our rich heritage. Over the years, the transition has been magical. Traditional sarees, salwar suits, and lehengas have evolved with modern cuts, prints, and styling. Today, we see fusion outfits like saree gowns and crop-top lehengas that blend tradition with trend. Designers like Sabyasachi, Manish Malhotra, and Anita Dongre have taken this legacy global, showcasing how Indian fashion can be timeless and modern. With changing generations, our ethnic fashion has embraced sustainability, gender-neutrality, and body-positivity. This blog walks you through each era—from royal courts to fashion runways—highlighting key styles, fabrics, and changes that define how Indian ethnic wear continues to inspire not just fashion but identity.
