The fashion and apparel industry is no longer operating in a stable or predictable environment. Rising tariff conflicts, structural cost pressures and rapidly shifting expectations from consumers, regulators and buyers have exposed the limits of legacy business models.
Against this backdrop, Apparel Online presents its Cover Story, ‘The 50 Big Ideas’, a comprehensive framework developed through extensive consultation with industry leaders, operators and experts. Organised across five critical themes—Manufacturing, Retail, Design, Sourcing and Supply Chain—the ideas aim to address the structural gaps holding the industry back. The story offers a system-level view of what must change now for Indian apparel to remain competitive.
In our Start-ups section, we explore why founders are rethinking the role of investors. The story, “Beyond the Cheque”, examines how new-age fashion brands increasingly value investors who bring operational expertise, strategic guidance and long-term stability, not just capital, into the partnership.
In Manufacturing, we take a critical look at India’s new labour codes and their real impact on the apparel industry.
Under Designers & Labels, we feature Jaypore and its journey of scaling Indian craft through modern retail.
Whereas, in Retail Pulse India, we turn the spotlight on India’s new data protection regime and what it means for fashion start-ups.
We also have many other interesting topics covered under our regular features such as My Fashion Life, Trends in Focus, Industry Verdict, and more.
