Although the Fashion Industry used to be associated with fashion conscious cities like Paris, London and
New York, it has become quite popular in India, of late. Fashion in India has emerged as a major industry,
and is set to make a mark internationally. Several Indian fashion shows have been staged in almost all the
metros on a regular basis. Most of the top designers make a beeline to these exciting events to showcase
their creations and compare notes with each other.
India has been associated with textiles and handicrafts right from the days of the Indus Valley Civilization.
However, every little town and village in India had skilled weavers, and the country was one of the largest
producers of an amazing variety of textiles. Today, the country is the largest exporter of garments, and ranks
second in silk production. There are several small scale industries employing skilled craftsmen who create
fabulous designs. Most of today's designers get their inspiration from such smalltime designers to create
their masterpieces in silk or cotton, or a mix of both. Some of these designs end up becoming international
hits.
Today, TV soaps and Indian films are a great way to showcase fashion designing talent. Most of the
designers try to become popular overnight by designing for leading movie actors and actresses, as well as
TV personalities. They are either paid for working in a particular film, or charge a flat fee for designing the
outfits for a fixed period of time. Most of the leading production houses turn to thesesuccessful designers for
creating new fashion designs for every movie they produce.
The fashion industry does not restrict itself to textile designing only for the younger generation. There are
opportunities for fashion design in several niche markets comprising celebrities of all age groups. Wedding
ceremonies, parties, conferences and other functions present excellent opportunities for creative fashion
designers to experiment and come out with new, appealing designs. However, fashion designing need not
