Fashion Trends, South Asia
Throughout the developing world fashion often takes a unique angle when spending money on non essential items such as jewellery is simply not an option. As a result, people have resorted to using everyday household items, such as string and wood, to blend in with cosmetic trends such as earrings, bracelets and necklaces.
When traveling to countries such as India and Sri Lanka it is very common to see children with small pieces of string tied through their ears, or colorful string attached to their wrists with little meaning other than that of fashion.
