(PRWEB) December 18, 2005 -- Fashion Trends in the Indian sub-continet are set in Goa for the most part. Following on the success of the International Film Festival, many fashion outlets are now reaping the benefits of that success . . .

. . . If it’s Goa, pack your suitcase with cottons, cottons and more cottons for sunny resort wear and chiffons, georgettes and silks for breezy evening wear. Goa’s flea markets at Anjuna (Wednesdays) and Mackies (Saturday night bazaar at Baga) are a kitsch seeker’s paradise. Bollywood is the buzzword of the moment. And fashion keeps pace with the Indian phenomenon. From colours to couture, Indian spirituality finds new interpretation in funky tee-shirts, bangles, mirror work sling bags, and mystical psychedelica. The one-stop backpacker’s guide to bohemian chic. For those into silver jewellery, Baga abounds in Tibetan markets that do full justice to silver in design and style. Take your pick of chunky, old, delicate, tribal silver on turquoise or rice pearls. Or watch a Tibetan lady string a necklace, ear-rings and bracelet right in front of you in a pattern of your choice. Now, that’s custom-made jewellery for you. Think the sea, think beach bags, with a dash of satin, mirror and embroidery to get you noticed. Prices: Rs 150 onwards, along Baga road, Baga.
