The term "fashion brand" (or "fashion label") includes all the brands that operate within the
fashion industry. A fashion brand combines symbolism, style, and experiential elements, and
it needs to differentiate its products and coordinate its supply chain to succeed in the market.
Consumers commonly employ brands as a means of expressing either their genuine identity
or an idealized self-image that they aspire to achieve.
The fashion industry is widely recognized as one of the most actively internationalizing
sectors within the retail industry. A significant proportion of globally recognized fashion
brands conduct the majority of their commercial activities beyond their country of origin.
International operations are the primary source of revenue for prominent brands such as
H&M, Inditex, and Nike. Nike's global success serves as a pertinent illustration of the
significance of brand extensions in the growth of sport brands. Other prominent brands in this
industry, including Adidas, Reebok, Puma, and Asics, have similarly embraced this trend by
introducing new apparel and footwear offerings.
The fashion industry involves the design, production, distribution, marketing, retailing,
advertising, and promotion of various types of clothing for men, women, and children. This
includes both high-end designer fashion and everyday clothing, ranging from couture ball
gowns to casual sweatpants. In recent times, there has been a rise in the emergence of fast-
fashion companies such as Zara, H&M, Primark, and Mango.
These companies have garnered a positive reputation by swiftly adapting to the ever-
changing fashion trends. Furthermore, the customer’s increasing demand for fresh styles and
a wider range of products has led to shorter production cycles and the introduction of micro-
collections.
As one of the fastest-growing industries in the world, the Indian fashion industry has been
gaining global recognition for its creativity, diversity, and sustainability. According to a
report, the Indian fashion market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate
(CAGR) of 11-12% to reach $115-125 billion by 2025. However, with the increasing
competition, changing consumer preferences, and technological disruptions, the industry is
facing both opportunities and challenges. In this article, we will explore the trends,
challenges, and opportunities of the Indian fashion industry in the next 2 years.
The fashion industry forms part of a larger social and cultural phenomenon known as the
“fashion system,” a concept that embraces not only the business of fashion but also the art
and craft of fashion, and not only production but also consumption. The fashion designer is
an important factor, but so also is the individual consumer who chooses, buys, and wears
clothes, as well as the language and imagery that contribute to how consumers think about
fashion. The fashion system involves all the factors that are involved in the entire process of
fashion change.
