Gone are the days when fashion was associated to just a few European cities and a handful of celebs who were a common sight on the ramp wearing clothes which were created keeping in mind the western dressing sense. Over the decades and with the advent of Internet and social media, a new and refreshing bunch of self-made Indian fashion influencers have taken birth who showcase their love for the Indian ethnic clothing like sarees, kurtas, dresses and handcrafted apparels. They command a large number of following not only in India but all over the world.
We bring to you 5 of our favourite fashion influencers who are putting the beautiful Indian ethnic fashion on the global map.
