How is luxury fashion changing in India?

Attitudes are changing about what quality really means. Does it belong to an ethical brand? Is it a wholesome experience rather than just an expensive label to adorn?

Traditionally, the luxury industry in India has used exclusivity as a way to maintain its mystique and desirability. But younger generations of luxury consumers are bringing in new trends.

In this edition of WorklifeIndia, we discuss how luxury fashion is changing in India.
