The speaker stated that though the Indian menswear market was small but it has a luxury segment that can be targeted with experimentation to create a niche. Also, the works of the designer need to be more spiritual than sartorial. The menswear designs should encompass experimental as well as multi-dimensional aesthetic. This would include a play of colours, fabrics, textures and surface ornamentation all the while keeping in mind that less is more and sticking to basics and then trying to evolve. The designs should be different to the platter and the language needs to have an ROI. Sustainability too has to be at the core of any concept. The speaker advised the young pool of talent pursuing fashion technology that Digital is the way forward and there is no substitute for sustenance, passion and hard work.
