The event also featured technical workshops, keynote presentations and breakout discussions on India’s fast-moving denim market, which has posted double-digit growth in recent years, as jeans continue to make inroads with consumers of all ages as a 24/7 apparel option for work, play and leisure. Increasing demand for new styles and functionality benefits presents significant opportunities for apparel makers.
Arvind, one of the world’s largest denim manufacturers, and The LYCRA Company have collaborated on a number of innovations over the years, helping democratize jeans for a wider Indian population with each season
Our partnership didn’t happen by coincidence. Our companies share the same values, commitment to sustainability and relentless pursuit of groundbreaking innovation through outside-the-box thinking and a willingness to experiment.
