Drag Race Down Under is the Australian and New Zealand edition of the popular reality competition series RuPaul\“s Drag Race. While the show primarily features drag performers from Australia and New Zealand, it also celebrates the diverse drag cultures and influences from around the world.
In the context of Indian local products, the show\“s influence can be seen in the growing popularity of drag culture in India. Local Indian makeup brands like Lakmé and Sugar Cosmetics are increasingly being used by Indian drag artists to create their stunning looks. These products offer vibrant colors and high quality that are essential for drag performances.
Indian fashion textiles and fabrics, particularly traditional silks, brocades, and embroidered materials from regions like Varanasi and Gujarat, are being incorporated into drag costumes. The rich textures and elaborate designs of these local Indian products provide the dramatic flair needed for drag runway presentations.
Additionally, Indian jewelry and accessory artisans are finding new markets as drag performers seek unique, statement pieces for their performances. The intricate craftsmanship of Indian metalwork, beadwork, and stone setting aligns perfectly with the extravagant aesthetic of drag culture. |
