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.
Equipped with the insights from a successful India Fashion Forum 2024, we dedicate this issue to the country’s fashion retail segment that is creating waves globally. Adorning the cover is Abhishek Ganguly, Co-founder of Agilitas Sports and a veteran in the sportswear business, which is a thriving subset of fashion. Through his newlyfounded venture Ganguly aims to play in the big league, creating a Made In India business that will take on established global players in the category.
In typical IMAGES Group style, we’ve put together an issue that is unique—as instead of featuring established incumbents we shine the spotlight on an eclectic mix of brands that are doing things differently. These include century-old fine suitmaker PN Rao,fashion rental company Flyrobe, fast-growing D2C turned omnichannel player Snitch, handcrafted shoe company Banajaran Studio and many more.
