Evidence
from the 1st century AD shows some cultural exchanges with the Greeks.
Indo-Greek influence is seen in the Greco-Buddhist art of the time. The
Buddhas were portrayed as wearing the Greek himation, which is the
forerunner of the modern saṃghāti that forms a part of the Kasaya of
Buddhist monks.During the Maurya and Gupta period, the people continued
to wear the three piece unstitched clothing as in Vedic times. The main
items of clothing were the Antariya made of white cotton or muslin, tied
to the waist by a sash called Kayabandh and a scarf called the Uttariya
used to drape the top half of the body.
New
trade routes, both overland and overseas, created a cultural exchange
with Central Asia and Europe. Romans bought indigo for dyeing and cotton
cloth as articles of clothing. Trade with China via the Silk road
introduced silk textiles into India. The Chinese had a monopoly in the
silk trade and kept its production process a trade secret. However, this
monopoly ended when, according to legend, a Chinese princess smuggled
mulberry seeds and silkworms in her headdress when she was sent to marry
the king of Khotan (present day Xinjiang). From there, the production
of silk spread throughout Asia, and by AD 140, the practise had been
established in India. Chanakya's treatise on public administration, the
Arthashastra written around 3rd century BC, briefly describes the norms
followed in silk weaving.
Clothing
in India varies from region to region depending on the ethnicity,
geography, climate and cultural traditions of the people of that region.
Historically, men and women's clothing has evolved from simple Langotas
and loincloths to cover the body to elaborate costumes not only used in
daily wear but also on festive occasions as well as rituals and dance
performances. In urban areas, western clothing is common and uniformly
worn by people of all strata. India also has a great diversity in terms
of weaves, fibres, colours and material of clothing. Color codes are
followed in clothing based on the religion and ritual concerned. For
instance, Hindus lady's wear white clothes to indicate mourning while
Parsis and Christians wear white to wedding.The Didarganj Yakshi

India's
recorded history of clothing goes back to the 5th millennium CB in the
Indus Valley Civilisation where cotton was spun, woven and dyed. Bone
needles and wooden spindles have been unearthed in excavations at the
site.The cotton industry in ancient India was well developed, and
several of the methods survive until today. Herodotus, an ancient Greek
historian described Indian cotton as "a wool exceeding in beauty and
goodness that of sheep". Indian cotton clothing was well adapted to the
dry, hot summers of the subcontinent. Most of the present knowledge of
ancient Indian clothing comes from rock sculptures and paintings in cave
monuments such as Ellora. These images show dancers and goddesses
wearing what appears to be a dhoti wrap, a predecessor to the modern
sari.The upper castes dressed themselves in fine muslin and wore gold
ornaments[ The Indus civilisation also knew the process of silk
production. Recent analysis of Harappan silk fibres in beads have shown
that silk was made by the process of reeling, a process known only to
China until the early centuries AD.According to the Greek historian

In
India, the traditional still takes precedence over modern aspects of
society. This is particularly true in Indian households, where many of
the old traditions are still practiced. The salwar kameez, for example,
is still one of the most common styles of dress worn by Indian women
today. It is a traditional set of garments consisting of trousers and a
long tunic that have existed for thousands of years.
The
salwar kameez is known to have existed for several centuries, dating
back to at least the 1100s when India was part of the greater Mughal
Empire. While it may have ultimately been developed by Turko-Iranian
horse riders and spread throughout Central Asia through invasion and
conquest, it is now a popular garment all over many parts of the world.
While often associated with Islam, today it is worn by more non Muslims.
Styles and colors have changed as aesthetic views evolve, but the basic
garment has remained the same and continues to be a large part of
Indian fashion today.
Beyond
India and Pakistan, it is also the most popular dress in all of central
Asia. Over the centuries since its first introduction, various types of
the salwar kameez emerged to accommodate different rituals and
occasions. For example, there are wedding and summer varieties, as well
as different regional varieties such as the Punjabi and Putiala salwar
kameez. So even though the basic garment has remained, different styles
have been developed to more uniquely reflect the customs of a particular
area or people.
Nonetheless,
modern styling can often be just as influenced by European design as
the old traditions. For example, the typical kameez will have set-in
sleeves similar to European shirts and tunics. Designers further change
things by typically decorating the kameez using embroidered pattern and
other design elements. The modern salwar kameez is a perfect example of
how traditional blends with modernity throughout much of Central Asia.
While
it may have a long history going back to the time when Europe was still
immersed in the barbarity of the Middle Ages, the dress continues to
evolve as other elements influence style within the cultures where it is
still worn today. While it will certainly continue to be the most
popular dress in many parts of the world, one has to wonder what
designers will accomplish in years to come as they add their own
artistic touches to this timeless garb.
La
Salwar Kamiz o Shalwar Kamiz (hindi, सलवार क़मीज़ salvār qamīz o anche
शलवार क़मीज śalvār qamīz, punjabi ਸਲਵਾਰ ਕਮੀਜ਼ salvār kamīz, rdu شلوار
قمیض šalwār qamīz, ma scritto anche Salwar Kameez o Shalwar Kameez, in
inglese Punjabi Suit) è un abito tradizionale, sia maschile sia
femminile, di alcune popolazioni del sud-est asiatico (Afghanistan,
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc.). Il termine Kamiz deriva dall'arabo,
Salwar dal persiano. La Salwar Kamiz consiste di tre parti: Salwar,
Kamiz e Dupatta.
La
Kamiz è una camicia lunga che arriva almeno all'anca ma a volte anche
al ginocchio dando grande liberta di movimento a chi la indossa. Le
donne portano anche la Dupatta, una scialle lungo e largo che le copre
il capo, le spalle ed il collo.La camicia degli uomini è anche chiamata
Kurta.
Naturalmente
la Salwar Kamiz è disponibile in diverse fogge, colori e lunghezza,
senza rappresentare necessariamente tradizioni locali, ma solo per
soddisfare il gusto di chi le indossa.Shalwar kameez (also spelled
shalvar kameez, salwar kameez, or shalwar qameez); is a traditional
dress worn by both women and men in South Asia and specially Kazakhstan,
Bangladesh , Pakistan and India/South Asia . Shalwar or salwar are
loose pajama-like trousers. The legs are wide at the top, and narrow at
the ankle. The kameez is a long shirt or tunic. The side seams (known as
the chaak), left open below the waist-line, give the wearer greater
freedom of movement.Shalwar are gathered at the waist and held up by a
drawstring or an elastic band. The pants can be wide and baggy or more
narrow, and even made of fabric cut on the bias.
The
kameez is usually cut straight and flat; older kameez use traditional
cuts, as shown in the illustration above. Modern kameez are more likely
to have European-inspired set-in sleeves. The tailor's taste and skill
are usually displayed, not in the overall cut, but in the shape of the
neckline and the decoration of the kameez. Modern versions of the
feminine kameez can be much less modest than traditional versions. The
kameez may be cut with a deep neckline, sewn in diaphanous fabrics, or
styled in cap-sleeve or sleeveless designs. The kameez side seams may be
split up to the thigh or even the waistline, and it may be worn with
the salwar slung low on the hips. When a woman wears a semi-transparent
kameez (mostly as a party dress), she wears a choli or a cropped
camisole underneath it.
When
women wear the salwar kameez, they usually wear a long scarf or shawl
called a dupatta around the head or neck. For Muslim women, the dupatta
is a less stringent alternative to the chador or burqa (see also hijab
and purdah). For Sikh and Hindu women (especially those from northern
India, where the salwar kameez is most popular), the dupatta is useful
when the head must be covered, as in a Gurdwara or a Temple, or the
presence of elders. For other women, the dupatta is simply a stylish
accessory that can be worn over one shoulder or draped around the chest
and over both shoulders.
The
Shalwar kameez is sometimes known as "Punjabi suit," in Britain and
Canada. In Britain, especially during the last two decades, the garment
has been transformed from an everyday garment worn by immigrant South
Asian women from the Punjab region to one with mainstream, and even
high-fashion, appeal.In India, the garment was originally confined to
the North, but as a convenient and modest alternative to a sari - and
also as one that flatters practically any body-type - it has become
popular across the nation. By varying the fabric, color and the level of
embroidery and decoration, the salwar-kameez can be formal, casual,
dressy, or plain; and it can also be made to suit practically all
climates.
