When I started my journey in fashion, India was an understated player. The past decade saw the tide pointedly turning, with India poising itself as a mammoth in the global fashion scene. One of the key moments in the fashion cycle this year was the celebration of India’s much-deserved contribution and impact on fashion, started by Dior, in March.
With Dior publicly celebrating its relationship with India, Indian fashion witnessed a moment in history. Not only did the show celebrate Indian craftsmanship that major French houses employ, but it also acknowledged the growing luxury consumer market that India offers. Dior’s showcase in Mumbai will remain a significant step towards highlighting the (still) unacknowledged role of India’s heritage of skilful craftsmanship in global luxury.
