From the Chairman s desk Dear Friends, When I look back at the beginning of my career in retail, I am stunned by the incredible transformation India as a consumer market has undergone in the past two decades. And for much of that period 18 years to be precise India Fashion Forum (IFF) has chronicled and even catalysed ahead-of-the-curve innovations in consumer experiences and fashion consumption, which many of us have been witness to. For us Indians, the primary fashion influencer at one time was cinema. It was all quite simple, really; we were prone to investing over expenditure, and our demands were limited and manageable. Cut to 2017, and we re the world s fastest growing major market, and populated by demanding, aspirational, globally connected, and living-for-the- now consumers. And for fashion marketers and retailers, as if that were not enough, there is now the added complexity of digital consumption. I actually think that all the ongoing disruption, in reality, represents opportunity. India s appetite for fashion and all lifestyle accoutrements is rising at the fastest pace in her modern history. What else can explain the escalating interest and entry of global fashion retailers into India, as well as the rapid growth of omnichannel models? But, have our domestic businesses optimised the prospects? Look at the kidswear category massive opportunities, but lack of scalable models and pricing India global mismatches have stumped Indian brands. There is little doubt that we are at a crossroads Indian fashion brands will have to constantly reinvent themselves to evolve with the increasingly competitive retail landscape. As Chairman of India Fashion Forum 2018, I invite you to join us in Mumbai on March 13th and 14th, 2018, to what will truly be a mega intelligence event on the supply side of fashion retail economics. It will be both a privilege and opportunity for me to host the most exciting and potentially game-changing ideas, innovations, professionals and business leaders from India and the world to create the next epoch of fashion retailing, which I believe will be powered by Consumer Experience. As retailers, we all know the fundamental tenet: Customer is King. This has never been truer than it is today. We are on the supply side of the enormous opening that modern India today presents. It s time to make it count, starting with your ideas at IFF 2018. Suresh J Chairman, India Fashion Forum 2018 MD & CEO, Arvind Lifestyle Brands Ltd fashion THE FASHION AND LIFESTYLE PROJECT IFF is THE Global Identity of India s Fashion Business IFF is the only forum that understands what Fashion and Lifestyle means to the Indian consumer. We interpret how any shifts in consumer behaviour will directly impact your business.. 150+ 500+ 50+ 2000+ Indian & International Speakers Participating Companies Brand & Retail Presentations An Eye on India s Fashion and Lifestyle Landscape Indian & International Delegates The lifestyle choice of the consumer is affected by technology and connectivity more than ever before. With the constant & instant feedback of social media, it is inevitable that these choices are also constantly evolving and shifting, making it even more vital that your brand is able to communicate with your consumer on his/her wavelength. Your brand must not only fit into their lifestyle but also talk the talk. Talk Fashion. Talk Lifestyle. At IFF2018, the Fashion and Lifestyle Project is designed to be a unique and unprecedented redefining of the Business of Fashion from the perspective of Fashion as a lifestyle choice. With a fresh, more hands-on approach and an substantial mix of brands and experts, IFF2018 will answer some of most vital questions you should be asking.

Can you see the emerging identity of India s fashion industry? four power nodes of the Fashion Industry 1 2 3 4 The Smart Fashion Movement These 4 power nodes of Fashion Retail can turn your brand into an ICON. We have extensively analysed international and domestic market trends to bring to you a concise and very relevant breakdown of just FOUR POWER NODES that you need to understand to prepare yourself for the smart fashion movement that is almost upon us. INTELLIGENT ENGAGEMENT The need to access specialised knowledge has never been as critical as it is today. Equally powerful and dynamic is the blending of ideas & visions of industry icons, entrepreneurs and professionals in diverse fashion manufacturing, branding & retailing functions, as IFF delivers. From data-driven market insights to the latest tools for in-store drama, experience how knowledge is power like never before. POWERED BY DESIGN What differentiates fashion from mere clothing & accessories is innovation. As branded clothing becomes more accessible to Indians, brands are increasingly losing the critical fashion edge. In the future, me-too brands will have a limited life span; consumers will veer towards products that have a strong edge in design innovation and have a unique sensibility to display. Fashion must be design-led and truly individualistic. RETAIL AS EXPERIENCE A store is a statement of lifestyle, and non-stop customer experience is the most important branding tenet today. In addition to understanding the tenets of retail operations, mastering the science of leasing and real estate are critical because fashion brands are growing at a faster pace than retail space. At IFF 2018, aspirational brands will not just showcase out-of-the-box future concept stores to retail real estate companies, but also access next-generation in-store trends & solutions from the best in the business. THE TECH OF EVERYTHING New-age consumers expect a consistent, seamless, and integrated experience across all retail touch points. But, creating intelligent fashion and powerful retail stories require end-to-end digital transformation with integrated technology, with as much input in sourcing, design, in-store experiences as on the front-end through Big Data, Shopper & Predictive Analytics, AI, and more...
