India is a diverse country, the country with culture, the country with art, multi linguistic country where thousands of languages are spoken, where everyone love each other and share every festival together. The place where outsiders think that we stay in completely different universe. Soo I decided to do more research on Indian culture and fashion. And when I started my research at that time I realized that India does not have limited culture and Fashion Ideas so my next few blogs will only be on Indian Fashion And Culture, some designers who keep Culture in mind and make some extremely out of the world designs. Which you desire to buy it desire to wear it. I’ll be going from India’s K2K (Kashmir to Kanyakumari). I hope you will love the Indian culture which I’ll bring in front of you. Soo please tell me how you feel about this idea in my comment section below.

Seasons and fashion go hand in hand every season have there own fashion style, everyone want to stay up with fashion trend as it was said in my previous blog i feel fashion is all about comfort and being confident at the same time. So basically there are 4 seasons in fashion industry winter/fall, summer, autumn and spring and the fashion week goes according to it. Spring/Summer goes for six months period from January to June, and Winter/Fall/Autumn goes from July to December. Summers/Springs are basically for nudes, pastels and resort wear clothing and Winter/Fall/Autumns are for woolens heavy jackets and Multi-Layered Jackets. Prints usually in summers are floral and other prints whereas for winters Solids are my choice. which season is your favorite and what are the prints you like let me know in comment section below.
