Shawls
are no longer drapes used only for utility purposes. Changing times have
led the apparel industry to undergo a transformation as well. This is
evident in the highly innovative styles of ensembles brought to the
market by our designers. Shawls too, form an important part of them and
have emerged as garbs that further accentuate the beauty of any attire.
Fashion shawls reflect a host of attractive patterns that simply
allure the sight of the beholder. Some of them are as follows:
Paisley Shawls: These are known for their unique motifs
called paisleys which are intricately woven either on the entire fabrics
on line the borders.
Tie and Dye: Tie and dye is an art of dyeing the fabric
in a manner that it produces mesmerizing layouts. One such form is known
as Bandhani, a craft native of Rajasthan.
Abstract Patterns: They primarily display designs with
no specific design or an outline.
The combination of colors used forms an important feature of these
drapes. Fashion shawls employ the use of a variety of fabrics such as
silk, tissue, cotton, muslin, wool etc. These items are designed keeping
in mind the varying tastes of people. The reason the demand for these
pieces of beauty is shooting up day by day, in not only the domestic but
foreign markets as well.
