The two Fs went together, almost inseparable. No marks for guessing:
Fashion and French. Paris was the centre of the International fashion world.
Names like Christian Dior, Yves_Saint_Laurent, Pierre Cardin, Chanel,
Jean-Paul Gaultier were household names in Europe and soon became
international synonyms for fashion. Even today Paris remains the hub of
the fashionworld and the dream destination of every fashion designer in
other parts of the world.
“Fashion” has come of age in India. Over the last few years, there has been a spurt in this industry, and, and the established Fashion designers like Rohit Bahl , Ritu Beri, Ritu Kumar showcase their creations on International platforms. With a rich cultural milieu to draw inspiration from, the Designers are able to create a range from the traditional to the chic, from ethnic to the neo-modern, meeting the highest standards of International Fashion industry. The delicate embroidery work and craftsmanship of Indian artisans convert the fabric into stunning pieces which share the ramp with creations from fashion houses from Italy, France, or USA.
