Indian Fashion Brands
Looking at post-independence, Indian fashion was a cluster of traditional weavings with a lot of variations, later with the influence of western culture, we got a common ground of clothing. From the 90’s era onwards, a lot of influencers like actors, celebrities could set trends of designs that seemed extinct. Now Indian fashion brands have also taken their place in the top of the world fashion.
What is a fashion brand?
Brands always focus on giving out the best product among others in the market. A brand should be relevant to the needs of the customer i.e, it has to work and produce clothes to please the mindsets of all classes of people. For a brand to achieve people’s appreciation, it has to work on the quality of clothing, the prestige it maintains, the tags labelled. A brand that does not satisfy the basic values needed to please the society has a lesser chance in succeeding and sustaining in the market.
