Every year the torch bearers of the fashion industry evolve and shape the future of fashion by presenting their creative interpretations of the road ahead. It may be a fad from the past that makes a comeback in some nouveau packaging, or it may be an entirely new perspective.
This year too a whole lot of shifts happened in the industry giving us all the reasons to shop.
