Fashion adapts itself according to the changing times and thoughts of society, but it also repeats itself. In other words, one can say fashion is something that never goes out of the equation. The sense of fashion defines your caste, creed, and nationality, an easy way to distinguish people. If we take the example of India, it has rolled its textiles and yarns in the world from ancient times. The first evidence of the Indian looms was detected in Egypt after that, the finely woven and dyed cotton fabric was found in the Indus Valley civilization.The Veda’s also talk about the gold fabric and the different weaving styles practiced by the people, they called it “Varna Sutra”. It is also mentioned in the later Samhitas and Brahmanas.
