Indian fashion industry is witnessing a paradigm shift. Top Hollywood actors are flaunting our designer’s clothes at events like Oscars and Cannes .Our designers are getting an opportunity to participate in international fashion shows and compete with the likes of Armani and Versace. Giving it further boost, the urban development minister of Delhi Ajay Maken has made the announcement of special designer hub to come up in Dwarka , West Delhi. The proposed 7 acre hub is to have state of the art convention centre to hold fashion weeks, seminars and conferences, a five star boutique hotel, a textile related craft village, and a boutique of member designers. Besides FDCI's corporate office there would be a textile museum, a resource centre for fashion and textiles and a fashion library.
The annoncement has come as a relief to the designers when just few months back some of the prominent designers had their showrooms demolished on account of encroachment. A special hub for them will make them more secure and closely knit. Moreover, the international buyers would have an easy access to them.
Though the project has one small constraint:
As part of the plan a five star hotel have to be constructed as an integral component of the fashion hub to accomodate the increasing number of foreign buyers , fashionistas and journalists attending the fashion week held in the capital. Though the hotel would be assured of fairly decent occupancy rates for about 20 days a year ( 5 days of fashion week plus a few days before and after the event ) the question is whether they can stay out of the red for the rest of the year.
But despite the constraint Indian fashion industry would get a major boost and it would be interesting to watch it grow in the years ahead.
