The north-eastern part of India has a subculture that is different from the rest of the country.
What is the subculture that is defining fashion trends with creative galore?
You ask any girl or boy in the north-east about their favorite TV shows, they beamingly pour out their love for Korean dramas and movies.
With the ban that was imposed by Revolutionary People’s Front on the screening of Hindi movies and satellite channels, people started resorting to the Hallyu and the Haiku wave.
The Hallyu wave refers to the increasing popularity of South Korean culture since 1990’s. There was a fan base developing in the northeast. The fixation to anything Korean, be it dramas or soaps, lent them an outlet to express themselves.
The fashion-forward youths could relate similar aspects of their identity with the growing fad. The markets were flooded with colorful racks of fashionable clothes inspired by the Korean wave.
And the ubiquitous scene of hairstyles imitating K-Pop stars in salons are charmingly delightful.
Next is the Haiku wave to which the anime-obsessed Otakus boastfully associate with.
The Haiku wave is slowly catching on, as apart from the fan frenzy around anime characters, cosplay is also gaining momentum. The celebrated event of fans clad in costumes of their adored anime or manga characters is endearing and going to stick here for a long time.
Don’t believe me, still?
Kohima has a cosplay event in June and July every year where young people with their eccentric mix of anime/manga characters grace the event in style.
Am I sure this is more than enough to pump adrenaline into the anime junkies out there?
In conclusion, the fashion sense in the northeast is synonymous with Japan and Korea. Yep, unique and magnificent in its own way.
If you had forefathers resplendent in state-of-the-art jewellery or accessories in the past, leather jackets and distressed jeans catch your eye even for a fleeting second now.
Keeping such style checks on your radar, going-over the hottest and glocal Instagram feeds of bloggers is just a click away.
