Hyderabad: This year has been the most fashionable year we have ever had. It’s especially true when we think about how 2022 is when we start going through store closures, limited fashion festivals, and canceled weddings — a nightmare for the fashion industry that’s actually been seen in social life.
But this industry has rebuilt itself with strength, vigilance and grace. Towards the end of the year, the city hosts galas such as Blenders Pride Glassware fashion week that showcase the highs of sustainability. This difference, many other early and classic designers took care of the maximum despite the minimal pastels.
Now, from fashion shows to the real world. Local brands are more popular than ever, their collections are at par or better than national and international brands. We’ve seen retro make a comeback, albeit in a modern way.
A few took it back and modified designs inspired by the sartorial codes of the Mughals and Nizams. On the other hand, a few fashion-forward companies have been looking into their crystal balls and using AI to predict what future collection will suit a person’s personality.
