Exotic Indian Party Wear

India is a land of amazing fabrics spanning the realm of colors, textures, patterns and intricate thread work. The sheer variety of textiles, from natural fabrics like silk, cotton, and wool, to man-made fabrics, like chiffon, georgette, velvet, crepe, jacquard etc, are popular not only in India but also being increasingly recognized and in demand in other parts of the world. Party wear in India is particularly exotic with a mix of color combinations and patterns in one outfit that seems disparate  but somehow comes together so seamlessly. The effortless mix of the traditional styles with modern patterns and weaves dominate the Indian fashion industry today.

Prodigious Patterns

I usually like modern, abstract patterns, but I also like some of these intricate patterns as long as it stays off the wall. The black and white pattern in the middle is from a site called Flavor Paper, where they sell the pattern as wallpaper, but these would look really good on pillows, and throws!
