The traditional North Indian attire Salwar Kameez (Pant and top) has always been changing its forms. It is very popular in India and Pakistan. A tunic top (kurta) and pant is modern version and getting more and more popular because of its beauty and comfort. It is available in variety colors, fabrics, embroideries, prints, surface ornamentations, styles. One can wear it anywhere to the park, office, school, shopping or even party.
Oprah Winfrey-one of the most famous personalities of the world, wore it in her magazine cover in June 2007 issue. The yellow tunic top has the spirit of spring and the glittering embroidery very well corresponds to her celebrity status. She has fine choice for sure. I read that she asked fashion designer Ralph Lauren to design custom-made cashmere jackets for her dogs.
Indian designers have shown number of variations of kurta tops in 'Wills India Fashion Week 2007'. They did not follow the traditional embroideries. Kavita Bhartiya showed a short length Kurta worn with a skirt which can be compared to the 'Peasant look' of west. Shantanu and Nikhil made a fusion of collared shirt and kurta with graphical patterns on it and is a great choice for Fall/Winter.
Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor knows the importance of changing style with time so she is changing her designer now. Manish Malhotra has designed clothes for her in most of her movies. She is drifting to Aki Narula now who has designed for new bollywood movie 'Jhoom barabar jhoom'.
Tunic tops (Kurtas) come in so many styles that you can wear a kurta everytime yet maintaining a different look.
