The kurti has gained so much popularity lately that it’s mind-boggling! How could such a simple dress reach the pinnacle of Western fashion in such a short time? A few years ago the kurti was nowhere to be found in America. Now, you can’t turn a mall corner without seeing one. OK, are you confused about what a kurti is? It’s what a westerner would call a women's tunic. Bet you didn’t know that this the second go around for this modest shirt in Western fashion.
You see, the kurti was first introduced to America in the 1960s by none other than the hippies. The kurta was a good expression of free flowing casual wear that was essential to hippie fashion. You could be, feel, act, and wear cool. Over time, the fashion faded and as the 1990s began, the Christina Aguileras and Britney Spears of the world brought super tight and tiny into fashion. For 5 to 7 years this kind of clothing dominated women’s fashion. In the last 1 to 2 years, however, one extreme has galvanized another. Modest clothing is now in vogue more than ever.
