Ralph Lauren Features Indian-Style Jhumkas at Paris Fashion Week Amid Credit Debate

At Paris Fashion Week, Ralph Lauren showcased bell-shaped earrings resembling traditional Indian jhumkas in its Fall 2026 collection. While the earrings drew attention for their design, the brand did not explicitly credit Indian craftsmanship, sparking online debates about cultural appropriation and recognition. This follows similar discussions around other global fashion brands and their use of Indian-inspired elements without clear acknowledgment.
