Is this the beginning of a new era? Should we expect Zarafication of the market, where the customer is driven by fashion, and the supply chain will turn and churn products faster than ever before? Should other international brands and Indian fashion brands be worried? [More...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the sourcing-end, large retailers have been comfortably operating beyond international borders for several decades even while the stores-end of their business was entirely domestic. It took the opening up of East European economies in the 1990s to really prime the pump for growth of international retail expansion. Are we seeing the reversal of retail globalization?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fashion, by its very nature, lives on obsolescence, so it is pertinent to ask whether “sustainable fashion” is an oxymoron.
The cause of sustainability may be helped actually by the fragmentation of demand that is going on around the world. The traditional fashion business model and supply chain can’t cope effectively with the fragmented demand and short selling-windows. In the fast fashion supply chain model, with shorter lead times, more time is spent on productive activities and successful products, rather than wasting resources and money in developing designs and flying samples back and forth for products that will get sold at a discount.
The aerospace, automotive and high-tech industries use tools and processes that have also been available to the fashion industry for the last 4 decades.
