The Indian fashion business is expanding at a faster rate than in previous decades. The influence of social media and the Bollywood industry has given Indians a new sense of style.
Elegant dresses are brought to market by new innovative designers and fashion professionals through their companies, and clothes are available in a variety of sizes and models to meet demand and new trends.
The Indian fashion business is a multibillion-dollar industry, and due to the large population, various worldwide brands are also introducing products in the Indian market.
The Indian fashion market offers products ranging in price from a few dollars to thousands of dollars, allowing individuals from different sectors to purchase at affordable prices.
In India, dresses are always associated with cultures and people often relate dresses to the occasion.
Manish Malhotra, an Indian top fashion designer said, “Indian crafts is the mix of craftsmanship, culture, and modernity”.
You can see Indians wearing Saree and Dhoti during festivals and on other auspicious occasions. Though India has hot weather most of the year, people never miss wearing their traditional clothes at events.
