Daily DeviationWhile many journalism pieces of art tend to focus on the entire detail of a situation, there are certain pieces that work just as well if it is used to portray not just the setting, but more of the culture together. Birds Of A Feather by *nigel-h adds a lifestyle feel of the cultures of other parts of the world, and of how fashion in today's world is slowly becoming an understatement. For more information about what they're wearing: "Dhoti" (Suggested by =aksdareflection and Featured by ^estudio)
