A Fresh Look at Fashion
The fashion retail market is likely to increase to over $275.59 billion by calendar year 2032, as per India Business of Fashion Report 2024.
India’s fashion market is one of the fastest growing in the world as per experts, attracting several international brands who are making a beeline to gain a foothold here. British menswear brand Charles Tyrwhitt, French luxury fashion brand Maison Margiela Fragrances, Portuguese accessories brand Parfois, Swedish eyewear brand Chimi, Canadian lingerie retailer La Vie En Rose and Australian innerwear brand Aussiebum are among the scores of brands that have entered the country in the past couple of years. Such is the potential of the market that American casualwear brand has re-entered the market for the third time.
