The REALCOMING of the fashion business in India.

Congratulations to India Fashion Forum on completing 10 pioneering years in business of fashion. IFF 2010 is very relevant for the industry which after an economic downturn has started discovering signs of recovery and growth. Retail is a catalyst for consumption. In collaboration with modern retail, fashion industry can create a customer demand pyramid with solid foundation of mass market fashion and upgrade customers to ready-to-wear and haute couture. IFF 2010 provides a great platform to deliberate and discover ways of demand generation and business models for profitable growth.

The Fashion market has begun to emerge from shadows of the downturn. There is optimism in the air; IFF heralds the beginning of a new era in Indian consumerism. The best fashion minds will congregate to chart the future of the industry, in the backdrop of increasing consumer confidence and greater focus on fashion. I am sure the participants would benefit hugely from being privy to these deliberations
