The tresnd has been observed since long. People from western countries have followed Yoga and meditation. The have realised the importance of OM. While we were busy following them they took all the good things we had and ractised all of it. Now when we Indians are tryign to fit in to those bermudas and shorts they have adated one more thing .. 'Lungi'!!! Yes lungi has become a fashion trend in Europe.
The IOU Project, based out of Madrid in Spain, is buying lungis from weavers in Kurinjipadi, near Cuddalore, using designers and craftspeople in Europe to hand-stitch them into garments and selling them online using social media marketing .
It's not just Madras check lungis that are making waves in Europe this summer. The must-have tote from Prada's Spring-Summer 2011 collection is the 'Madras Bag' . The bright orange-and-black leather woven bag has caught the fancy of celebrities like Sienna Miller and Uma Thurman. Fashion blogs and sites have posted photographs of the stars carrying the large' boxy tote often enough. But we in Chennai would probably call it the 'pinnal' basket' which granny carried to the market or the plumber brought his tools in.
What more ? This is an online market which allows you to track how the lunig was made and what difference id it make in life if common people who made them. Who wonderful it is..We too should try to go back to our roots.. Isn't it??
