Fashion Swayed the Psyche of the Indian Consumer

Fashion is an approach and practice that is admired in the present. Its a set of trends that have been accepted by a wide audience. Following fashion provides a way for people to gain acceptance from others. It is a contest without any draft of rules and guidelines in which all of us are partakers willfully or impulsively. These rules we learn by testing and errors and are harmonization of replication and demarcation of others. The word fashion is frequently associated with the world of glamour, beauty, style or apparels.




Latest fashions may be accepted instantaneously by eminent people, including sports person, film stars, and political figures. Then, other people may go after these fashions so that they can make out with this privileged group. A number of people consider that fashionable clothes and surroundings elevate their status in life.

Now fashion is no more a monopoly of the starlets or just confined to rich people. Even common college going boys and girls or men and women working in a corporate environment, follow the latest trends and wear designer attire as daily office wear or casual wear, unlike a decade ago.




Today, India has emerged as the third most attractive market destination in the world for fashion apparel retailers. Now, the Indian consumers are much more supple and experimental in their approaches. Change is most likely one of the few constituents of passion, and is brought in the minds of the consumer due to sway of media, which has brought the western world in the Indian homes.
