Designer clothing has been around for decades and it is likely
that we will see further developments in the future in terms of
designer clothing.
The fashion industry is constantly changing, and with even the
current trends at the moment changing, it is hard to predict
exactly what we may see in the future. There are many directions
that the current trend could take over the coming weeks, and
then after that it will break off into further directions. What
we do know is that the shape of the fashion industry is in the
hands of those who choose new fashions. Fashion designers are
always looking for new ways to improve and expand the current
trends and designs, and as a result we are starting to see a
huge range of ideas entering the field.
If we look at the past, fashion did not used to be a huge
factor in our everyday lives, we did not see clothes as
something to show off, there was simply a fine line between the
rich and the poor. Over the years it changed and it developed
and fashion started to become a significant factor when it came
to clothing and accessories. The sixties was a notable decade
for fashion; with so much going on it showed promise for the
future of fashion. Of course, there were good years, and there
were bad years, but they were the essential building blocks to
what we see today.
But what can we expect in the future? There are many possible
outcomes that we may see. There are already many fashion trends
in the space of a year, just imagine if the amount of fashion
trends were to increase. This would mean that it would be
changing faster than it already is, this would mean that a lot
more profit would be made for fashion designers, however, this
could be overruled considering the overall choice that there
currently is. Do not forget that the future could hold many new
potential fashion designers also, which means that for the
customers there could me much more choice in terms of brand.
This could in fact cause a drop in prices across competitors for
the sake of more sales and profits. Unfortunately the fashion
industry does seem to be very profit focused and this could
develop into a problem if we do not act. Prices could soar and
many of us could be non-the wiser and wasting away our money on
fashions that may not last even a month. There are many
potential high points and many potential low points, but as of
yet we can only speculate.
Overall the fashion industry is in store for many changes in
the future to come, the sheer rate of change in this industry
just shows how different it could be in the years to come. We
could see a huge increase in fashion trends in the space of a
year. There are many possible outcomes based on the many
directions the fashion industry is taking, but as of now we can
only speculate, as only time will tell.

Indian fashion has a greedy, new customer these days. The
Indian meterosexual. In other words, the young men who are
dressing to impress, look good and get a cut above the rest.
Gone are the days when the only men who dressed to kill were
film stars and models.
With a range of outfits that suit all styles, occasions and
budgets now being available all over, Indian men are suddenly
looking hotter.
Rohit Chavda, a 26-year old advertising executive now has a
wardrobe that he says he loves to show off. Rohit’s wardrobe
consists of a range of outfits right from formal business suits
to sports jackets and pullovers and also several traditional
outfits like achkans, jodhpuris, shewanis and churidar kurtas
apart from his regular jeans, t-shirts and cotton trousers.
“I feel like a business tycoon when I wear a business suit to
an important meeting instead of the regular run-of-the-mill
shirt and trouser. I feel more confident when I’m dressed well
and my clients take me more seriously. And the best part of it
is that clothes now longer cost a bomb. I can walk into a store
and buy a stylish suit of the rack and not have to pay through
my nose.”
What about traditional Indian clothing? Rohit answers, “When I
wear a sherwani to a wedding, I can see the girls secretly
eyeing me. They think of me as the new age Indian man who is
modern but takes pride in being traditional”
Many other young men like Rohit enjoy dressing in traditional
Indian clothes. Jodhpuris, achkans, sherwanis, churidar kurtas
etc are now being introduced by leading fashion designers and
fashion houses. They are tailored using rich fabrics and are
embroidered heavily, making the wearer look elegant, classy and
stylish. More and more Indian men are now looking forward to
festivals, weddings and traditional ceremonies. Its giving them
a chance to dress up and enjoy as much as much as their female
counterparts.
