Kenzo always gain the inspiration from national culture. He loves those cultures full of exoticism. In my mind, India culture is full of color. After researching of India culture, I get something very interesting but I feel piteous for the Indian women at the same time. In their culture, female is treated in an unfair way. There are privileges of certain groups, especially the men. It is similar to ancient China. But In India, Generally all expenses of wedding are to be borne by the girl's side.
