CLOTHES OF INDIA

SEPTEMBER PROGRAMME:
Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th September
A rich and diverse cultural heritage inherited over 5000 years of history – this is the backdrop for Indian fashions as we see them today. The very mention of Indian clothes conjures images of vibrant colours, exotic textures, fluid lines, myriad patterns and above all a uniqueness of its own.
As one travels the width and breadth of India, the variations in dressing, both regional and religious, are obvious. Styles of dressing vary, as also the materials used and the colours favoured. Today's presentation will explore the traditional fashions in India for men and women with models displaying the different styles of wearing saree and dhoti, ghagras and salwar kameez.
This will be followed by a Hindi movie 'Chandni' (English subtitles) starring the vivacious Sri Devi who is famous for the lovely clothes she wears in all her films. The show starts at 3.30 p.m. and dinner will be served at 7.30 pm. There will be a traditional welcome, a small gift for all and a lucky door prize.The number of seats is limited – 60 per show – book early to avoid disappointment.
