The February 2020 issue of Apparel was a Fair special and opened with a story on the Draw of Lots event for the 70th National Garment Fair (NGF). This is followed by the ‘Feature’ section, which carries stories on the rich and timeless textiles of India; an elaborate body of arguments and counter-arguments on the fame and usage of fur; the intriguing world of blended textiles; and how sustainability is increasingly being employed in textile- and apparel-dyeing processes; and the applications of Pantone’s 2020 Colour of the Year Classic Blue in apparel. The ‘New Avenues’ section carries a piece that demonstrates how smart and technical textiles are slowly being taken into the mainstream fold, while ‘Industry Insights’ has analytical pieces that speak of the licensing industry with respect to apparel and how the spinning sector of India is slowly seeing a revival. ‘Fashion Speak’ comprises an article on how the grand trio of the lehenga, choli, and dupatta has fared in the last decade. The ‘Regulars’ segment consists of the important news and events, talked-about brands, trending collections, as well as forthcoming events in the world of apparel.
