I mean just get a load of this. They’re marketing a kurta, and that too without a shalwar, as a perfectly normal dress!<\/p>\n Never did we think that an act of cultural appropriation would become a fashion faux pas. So forgive us as we still can’t get enough of how silly and ridiculous this kurta looks!<\/p>\n Plenty of people have mistaken South Asian fashion as ‘tribal chic’ especially with the theft of ethnic prints. But only a kurta as a dress? There’s low, and there’s a special kind of low. No marks for guessing which one belongs here.<\/p>\n ALSO READ<\/p>\n Famous Italian Brand “Makes” Peshawari Chappals and No One is Amused!<\/a><\/p>\n The kohla-puri<\/em> being sold as Christian Louboutin’s own creation was pretty drag. Last time we saw something as funny as a kurta worn as a dress was when a lungi was sold as a ‘flowing mini-skir<\/em>t’.<\/p>\n The UK clothing store Thrifted, as the name suggests, sells thrifted goods at vintage stores. So when the got their hands on a bunch of kurtas, they sold them as ‘boho dresses<\/em>‘.<\/p>\n Cultural appropriation doesn’t just stem from ignorance but also exoticization. That’s why not only did the store dub the kurta as a ‘boho dress’ but also took away the shalwar.<\/p>\n That is basically the equivalent of walking around in an oversized tee with no pants. Not a t-shirt dress just an oversized tee (they’re too risque for a family show anyways). The sheer dumbfoundedness of the situation is hilarious. How do we even react to this?<\/p>\n We want to be mad about them appropriating our culture, but we can’t stop laughing. South Asian Twitterati didn’t take to well to this.<\/p>\n @thrifted_com<\/a> Cultural appropriation at its finest.<\/p>\n — Gurkirat Kaur (@KiraAkila) September 11, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"Thrifted\"](\"https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kurta-no-shalwar.jpg\")
