Trends in the Indian fashion and textile industries
At the beginning of the 21st century, with new
designers and models, and more sensible designs, India has
witnessed acceleration of fashion industry. As far as the global
fashion industry is concerned, Indian ethnic designs and materials
are currently
in demand from fashion
houses and garment manufacturers. India is the third largest
producer of cotton, the second largest producer of silk, and the
fifth largest producer of man-made fibres in the
world.
The Indian garment and fabric industries have
many fundamental advantages, in terms of a cheaper, skilled work
force, cost-effective production, raw materials, flexibility, and a
wide range of designs with sequins, beadwork, and embroidery. In
addition, that India provides garments to international fashion
houses at competitive prices, with a shorter lead-time, and an
effective monopoly on
certain designs, is accepted the whole world over. India has always
been regarded as the default source in the embroidered garments
segment, but changes in the rate of exchange between the rupee and
the dollar has further depressed prices, thereby attracting more
buyers. So the international fashion houses walk away with
customised goods, and craftwork is sold at very low
rates.
|
|
As far as the fabric market is concerned, the
range available in India can attract as well as confuse the buyer.
Much of the production takes place in the small town of Chapa in
the eastern state of Bihar, a name one might never have heard of. Here fabric-making is a family industry; the
range and quality of raw silks churned out here belie the crude production methods and equipment. Surat in Gujarat, is the supplier of an amazing set of jacquards, moss crepes and georgette sheers -
|
all fabrics in high demand. Another Indian fabric design that has
been adopted by the fashion industry is the ‘Madras check’,
originally utilised for the universal lungi, a simple lower-body
wrap worn in southern India. This design has now found its way on
to bandannas, blouses, home furnishings and almost anything one can
think of.
Ethnic Indian designs with batik and hand-embroidered motifs have
also become popular across the world. Decorative bead work is
another product in demand in the international market. Beads are
used to prepare accessory items like belts and bags, and beadwork
is now available for haute couture evening wear too.
