October 2017

Indian embroidery is fast gaining fancy in the international circuit. Chitra Balasubramaniam focuses on the gaining popularity of embroidery, to unearth the power of this threadwork.

 

Embroidered With Style

Internationally embroidery is everywhere on the runway – from clothes, accessories to shoes, to bags, and more. The trend which was once started by Gucci has caught the imagination of everyone from around the globe. India always had a thing for embroidery and embellishments irrespective of how this handiwork was treated around the world. However now with embroidery becoming a rage internationally, it is not difficult to see how it will impact local trends also.

INTERNATIONAL TRENDS

The trend for embroidery, that was spotted quite generously, during Spring Summer 2017, is best captured by www.burdastyle.com as, “It’s all in the details this summer! The biggest trend that is coming in 2017 is definitely embroidery. We can see the delicate stitching everywhere right now – on street style blogs, in the stores of Zara, H&M, and on DIY blogs. More and more brands have started carrying huge collections of embroidered pieces – also because machine embroidery has been developed further during the last couple of years. While prominent brands mostly showcase flowery patterns in embroidery, the Pinterest circuit goes crazy over cacti, insects, and eye motifs, which are embroidered on basically any fashion piece out there! Whether you are rather the classy flower type or going for some more creative motifs – you definitely need to find some fashion pieces which present your embroidery in the best way. That is why we collected our most suitable BurdaStyle patterns and show you examples on what to stitch onto the fabric”.
