Miss India’s fusion attire facing criticism

Miss India, Ushoshi Sengupta’s national dress at Miss Universe 2010 pageant is severly criticized by Indian fashion designers for not being traditional.

Ushoshi Sengupta’s national costume, which is a fusion attire created with India’s national bird, Peacock theme is facing criticism on its form that is not Indian. A gown is not an Indian dress, many opine that a saree would have been a better option and a national dress is not supposed to be ‘different’ while some designers are saying that gown lacks structured tailoring. Designer, Mandira Wirk says that there is ‘no femininty’ in the outfit.

The creators of the costume have defended their design and said that they wanted to come up with something contemporary and that the wings of the dress are like saree’s pallu.
