Like the whole fashion industry all over the world Indian fashion industry has also changed and still changing with a smooth pace. Observing the fashion trends back in 60’s when there were no popular fashion designers or models to promote the designs to the 21st century where India is one of the major contributor and promoter of world fashion, it can be said that it has been an unbelievably successful journey for the Indian fashion industry.
The change started happening at the end of the 60’s. With the introduction of disco and other western culture the fashion trend started taking sharp turns. And it wasn’t over night that the change was brought. It took 2 decades for the Indian fashion industry to catch up with the pace of the global fashion industry. These changes saw so many designers opening their stores in Mumbai. This is the period when some young, creative and brave minds dedicating themselves to get educated in fashion designing. Later these are the people who are taken to be the pioneers of the fashion revolution in India.
Back then fashionable designer clothes used to be made only for the celebrities. But 40 years over the lane and every well to do people in India has become fashionable. But the world class designers that represent India to the world immerged only at the starting of the 21st century.
India has been a consistently growing fashion industry, thanks to it’s big movie industry and internationally recognized artists that give the designers an international exposure which is very important for a designer. Not only that, Indian traditional fashion accessories have attained huge popularity all over the world and has given India a new identity as the global promoter of fashion.
As far as the embroidery and handicraft designs are concerned, India is considered to be the best to make them and these sort of Indian products have a tremendous demand all over the world. And due to cheap labor force in that part of the world India have been earning a lot every year from it’s booming fashion industry.
Indian designs not only represent India’s fashion trends but also represents the great and age old culture to the world. And after considering everything one should say that India’s journey in the fashion industry has been a tale of success.
The world of fashion industry is perhaps the most complicated thing that exists after world politics. It has no set standards as so many cultures and so many creative minds compile this fantasy land. And also the dimension of work is huge. It starts from foot wear and goes up to interior designing.
