Fashion designer Anjali Phougat takes Indian fashion global

Fashion designer Anjali Phougat will be supporting small businesses this year. She will be making sure that their talent gets global recognition.

“India boasts incredible talent and exquisite craftsmanship, and my aim is to elevate Indian artisans onto global platforms. This year, much like before, I am actively supporting women-owned businesses. This initiative originated during my shows at New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week. I am proud to share that, in addition to showcasing my own jewellery designs, I am providing a platform for two women-owned businesses to exhibit their jewellery. It’s a beautiful endeavour aimed at empowering and supporting small businesses, allowing them to pursue their passions,” she says.

Anjali expresses her admiration for the global recognition of Indian fashion. “The fashion industry in India stands out. The diversity in cuts, colours, and overall creativity is truly impressive. From cleaner-cut structured outfits to vibrant patterns and playful colors, there’s a rich variety. In my view, fashion is a reflection of one’s personality and is not limited by geographical boundaries. However, it’s undeniable that Indian clothing, including sarees, suits, and two-piece garments, has gained significant prominence on the global stage,” she remarks.
