Suzy Menkes of the International Herald Tribune asks the question in her article, Beyond Bollywood, Is Indian Fashion Going Global?:
"Could India ultimately become the hub of a new pan-Asian fashion movement setting a 21st-century fashion aesthetic?"
We've already seen quite a few Indian designers make their way into other fashion markets, including fashion events such as L.A. Fashion Week. As I said a couple years ago, I still do believe that India will be the new fashion hub.
