UNLEASH THE TRIBAL FASHION

Over the time we have seen lavish and extravagant gowns and those bold and audacious tight dresses taking away the spotlight, but we need to remember that style cannot be put in a bracket! If two people are looking at the same stole, one might drape it like a skirt and the other might just use it as an accessory. Same goes to the minute elements that go into making of any dress. Some of the fashion trends have the pinkish girly vibe while others have the classic and royal essence in them. But today we are about to unleash the raw aspect of fashion as we go about the ‘ELEMENTS OF TRIBAL FASHION’.

Since the early ages we have seen that there is a sense of styling that people had in them. Different kinds of stones, gems and beads were used to make elegant ornaments. Also, they used to use all sorts of leaves and animal skins to make aesthetically pleasing dresses! There were not much of resources but still everyone had a vision of how they want to perceive themselves. With the upcoming technologies, people started transforming their way of designing. The terminologies weren’t that clear but people started collaborating the techniques of fashion designing and a few elements picked up from the flora and fauna.
