Saree today is seen as a global fashion attire not just for Indian Women but also globally accepted and worn by many all over the world be it models, executives, CEOs.
We have many examples of women in India wearing saris officially and setting a new trend. Be it our late Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi who was known for the explicit collection of sarees, her signature style of wearing sarees showed her grace, her confidence her simplicity even a normal handloom cotton saree looked graceful on her and she ruled the country with an iron hand. She was followed by Sonia Gandhi, many of our CEOs also wear sarees and are confident and well known in their respective fields. They stand out amongst others not because they are professionals but more so because of their attire.
The term saree immediately gives you the picture of a woman who is not only bold and beautiful but a hardworking committed responsible co-worker. It is a signature of being one who holds herself out amongst a crowd.
