Chintz

so I just found out that chintz was actually a fabric made in india in the 16th century, and the Europeans exported it in the 17 and 18th century and loved it so damn much that it created a stir across their continent...?

i've seen so many pictures of 18th century European dresses and gowns made with this textile that i genuinely believed it was their creation and we've been using it, when it's actually the other way round.

BEST 5 INDIAN TEXTILE

There are various types of textiles, each with its unique characteristics, uses, and manufacturing processes. Textiles can be classified into two primary categories: natural fibers and synthetic fibers. Here are some common types within each category:

Natural Fibers:

Cotton: Cotton is one of the most widely used natural fibers. It is soft, breathable, and comfortable to wear, making it a popular choice for clothing, bed linens, and towels.

Wool: Wool is derived from the fleece of sheep and other animals like goats (cashmere and mohair) and rabbits (angora). It is known for its warmth and insulating properties, making it suitable for sweaters, scarves, and winter clothing.

Silk: Silk is a luxurious natural fiber produced by silkworms. It has a smooth, shiny texture and is often used for high-end clothing items like silk dresses and ties.

Linen: Linen is made from the fibers of the flax plant. It is known for its breathability and natural cooling properties, making it suitable for summer clothing, bed linens, and tablecloths.

Hemp: Hemp fibers are derived from the hemp plant. They are strong, durable, and eco-friendly, often used in items like bags, ropes, and eco-friendly clothing.

Jute: Jute is a natural fiber commonly used to make burlap sacks and other coarse textiles. It is also used for making rugs and carpets.

Synthetic Fibers:

Polyester: Polyester is a versatile synthetic fiber known for its durability, wrinkle resistance, and quick-drying properties. It is used in various clothing items, including sportswear, and also in home textiles.

Nylon: Nylon is a strong and lightweight synthetic fiber. It is used in hosiery, activewear, swimwear, and various types of accessories like bags and backpacks.

Acrylic: Acrylic fibers mimic the softness and warmth of wool. They are often used in sweaters, blankets, and other cold-weather clothing items.

Spandex: Spandex is a highly elastic synthetic fiber known for its stretchability. It is commonly blended with other fibers to add elasticity to clothing items like leggings and swimsuits.

Rayon: Rayon is a semi-synthetic fiber made from wood pulp. It is known for its softness and breathability, making it suitable for various clothing items, including dresses and blouses.

Polypropylene: Polypropylene fibers are moisture-wicking and are often used in activewear, thermal underwear, and base layers.

Rogan is an technique of cloth printing practiced in the Gujarat, Peshawar and Sindh regions of India and Pakistan. The word rogan has roots in both Persian and Sanskrit, meaning oil. In this craft, paint is made from boiled castor oil or linseed oil and vegetable dyes is laid down on fabric using a stylus.

The process of applying this oil based paint to fabric was developed among the Khatri community in Gujarat and the techniques of preparing and applying dyes was passed down in the family. As rogan printed cloth tended to be less expensive than other heavily embroidered garments but could still produce the illusion of embroidery, it was the wedding garment of choice for women from poorer families. The craft nearly died out in the late 20th century with the availability of cheaper and machine-made textiles. However, it is currently being revived mostly due to the efforts of the artist Abdulgafur Khatri and his family, who work tirelessly to spread awareness about Rogan art and teach it to young people, mostly young women from poor families in order to empower them by providing a means of livelihood as well as keeping the art of rogan alive.

For #TextileTuesday + #CowAppreciationDay 🐮🐄:

Pichhwai for the Festival of Cows [Gopashtami] India, Deccan, Aurangabad (?), late 18th c. Painted & printed gold & silver leaf & opaque watercolor on indigo-dyed cotton 97 5/8 x 103 1/8 in. (248 x 262 cm) Metropolitan Museum of Art New York 2003.177

"Large painted cloths (pichhwais) were made to hang behind the main image in a temple. This textile was produced for the Festival of Cows (Gopashtami), which occurs in the late autumn to celebrate Krishna’s elevation from a herder of calves to a cowherd. Note the range of cows and frolicking calves that populate the flower-strewn field. The indigo ground and extensive use of gold and silver are typical of pichhwais that were made for a community of Sri Nathji devotees who moved to the Deccan during this period."

U in Indian women fashion

The Indian women’s fashion trend depends on weaves and garments and how women carried themselves. Women in films whom I would say were the first role models we look up to even today for fashion inspiration. Though at times like today, we have social media at our fingertips, when we refer to a trend, we most often mention the name of the celebrity who sported it. Urmila Matondkar The ���Rangeela’…
