Wc, in the cosmopolitan city of Dhaka, find the European and American fashion being also borrowed by the teenaged and even the older generation. specially among the well to do bourgeoise and the upper classes in cities. In the capital Itself, and in places like Chittagong, Sylhet and Comilla town.
The west, meanwhile, In their haute canture, have been taking from the Near East. Middle East, Far East. Africa, the Indian Subcontinent — going by studies of the “Elle" magazine alone, and other photo journalism from Germany. other parts of Europe. USA
High fashion Is something universal. It does not belong to a single place like Paris, Japan or New York alone. Like music, intrinsic fashion styles and patterns are being borrowed and exchanged. Kiplings “The East Is East and the West is West" has been put to test long ago. tn music, fashion Interior decors, and all modes of life and living.

Yes the "jamdani", the joy and pride of Bangladesh, is being bought by women of sub continental origin who visit their parental homes from UK. USA and other overseas countries.
The “jamdanis" arc being shaped into “shalwar-kameez" and "kurta' and are being worn by our women, and residing foreign women too at times. It is a pity, however, that New Market and Ghausia Market as well as shops in Gulshan, continue to be flooded with foreign "saris" and materials for "shatwar- kameez” or “kurta-pajama" made in India. Thailand, Pakistan and elsewhere.
If one would only use one’s Ingenuity, the local materials can be sown in places like Ghausia Market or New Market or even the boutiques at Dhanmondf. Naya Paltan, Bananl and Gulshan The local “saris", about from "jamdahis" too are not to be scorned in the days of essential domestic budgeting and universal inflation.
