No WP:SIGCOV. Lots of mentions from reliable sources, but they never go in depth about the topic. Unreferenced since March 2014. Mr. Guye (talk) 00:35, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The V&A are currently holding a major exhibition on Indian textiles including sections dedicated to modern clothing fusing Indian and Western fashion. I found this discussion of Indian-Western fashion connections in an academic book including references to the East-West synthesis. Here's another book on the subject of contemporary Indian fashion with lots of content on Western influences/cross referencing. Also, more discussion on the subject here. Yet more discussion in another academic book. The problem is that if you search for one very specific phrase, namely "Indo-Western clothing" you're not going to find an awful lot, as there are a lot of alternative terms for the concept, but in itself, it is very well-established and quite well-covered and clearly encyclopaedic enough to merit an article of its own. I actually think this article would be a perfect candidate for a student assignment. Mabalu (talk) 12:12, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article also has potential. I'll pop by now and then to do a bit here and there. I've added a couple of refs. Others should add a bit in too. Good notable article potential and worth saving, but it needs work !!!!! Karl Twist (talk) 08:19, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
