Style and Fashion of Bangladesh


Fashion stated differently to different people in different countries. Fashion is a connecting part of the global communication sector. It carries one countries thought to another countries. Though every country has their own style and cultural rhythm, they welcome fashion and culture of the other countries as well.

It is obvious that some cultural exchange will be happen as we are the neighboring country of India but how much should we adopt from them and what should we not take from them in our culture.

Let’s see what fashion we are in to and from where it is coming. In the global communication era the exchange of fashion is an obvious happening issue. And through the internet one can easily find out what’s happening in U.S.A or in the Paris. India with great respect improving and playing creatively with design in their fashion including dress, accessories, life style every where. Bangladeshi designers and market some how influenced badly by the Indian culture and trying to bring their flavors in our culture.

Now the question is where there is chance to go with the original western fashion and in a sense where India also adopts their fashoin why are we concentrating mainly on the Indian fashion and its trend? Is it because we have something common in the dressing segment or is it because the western countries culture is too different from ours.

In India bollywood movie and the Hindi serials is mainly the place from where we copied their style. Basically the cuttings of Salwar Kamiz, jeans, skirts, shirts or kurta, the design in sari the Indian fashion are obtained. If Rani Mukhaji wearing short Kamizez in the movie the trends start here and obviously in India. Its not mean that Rani Mukharji is making the fashion change, they are the medium of reflection .Aishwaria Rai’s Sari in the film Devdas hit our market as well as their.

The following trends don’t end in the list of dress it continued with the hair style as well as with the accessories. The hair color or the change in the cutting goes well with the Indian trends. The Baggy bags or the big beds necklace carry here by the girls smartly when it emerged in Bangladeshi market from the outside countries. Boys are somehow seems a little bit less effected by the Indian trends. They go with universal trend more, to my point of view.

Some of the Bangladeshi fashion boutique houses are trying their best to avoid the Indian culture and bring a fusion collection in their design with the folk and modern design. Jatra, Bibi Rassels Design, Shada-Kalo, Mayasir, Arong, Kay kraft are one of them. They are concentrating on more Bangladeshi element and design which also got the attraction of our generation.

Fashion is the reflection of each persons thought and how they want to carry their self in every day life. I am not against to see, learned or try the western style. No one should be in the globalization world. But my point why can’t we create something special from our own culture? When the time will be come to see that western countries are adopting our culture and wearing it as a fashionable part?
