Business Of Fashion Magazine - March 2019

In this issue

Welcome to March, a high adrenaline month
for all of us at the IMAGES Group for obvious
reasons. As I write this, everyone at the offi ce
is busy in putting together a bigger and better
edition of the India Fashion Forum 2019 (IFF).
This issue will be a tribute to the upcoming
forum, complete with a curtain raiser to the
event.
In keeping with our fl agship event, we bring
you the third annual chapter of ‘Meet the
Masters’. Like in previous years, this edition
attempts to pick the minds of some of the
most prominent and visionary stalwarts
of the fashion industry. It is our fi rm belief
that CXOs of the fashion retail industry, as
the fountainheads of thought, are the ones
that will shape India’s fashion vision in the
coming years. And as the industry is poised
for quantum growth, it is absolutely critical to
hear them out.
The Indian fashion retail market is
progressing with giant strides, propelled by
increased penetration of organised retail,
which in-turn rides the rising disposable
incomes, changing demographics, increasing
brand consciousness and the e-commerce
boom. In this competitive, modern age,
retailers are required to have comprehensive
insights to keep pace with concurrent market
dynamics and address challenges and this
is where the invaluable insight of these retail
behemoths come handy. We hope that their
knowledge laden insights will encourage
and aid you to re-evaluate and reshape your
fashion retail aspirations and pave the next
way forward.
