accessories the ethereal spirit of the time and voluble desires of customers.

Fashion retail is typically a consumer goods market.
It is characterized by very short product life, fickle consumer preferences,
numerous competitors, relatively easy entry and exit, and a myriad of
manufacturing, marketing and retail alternatives.
Over here, we will mainly make references to U.S and Europe where the
fashion capitals - New York, Milan, London and Paris.
One of the reasons for their leading role in the apparel sector is that they are
able to acquire information on future trends in color, theme and styles in
advance.
Nature of Fashion Market

Couture Wear :
Couture wears are exclusively tailored by in-house designers and are
produced in limited numbers of expensive, high quality garments.
Ready-to-Wear :
As such, to be commercially sustainable, the fashion industry provides less
wealthy consumers with cheaper garments.

stuffs and the brands limited maximum up to brands like Gucci and Christian Dior.

services. In upcoming years the growth of this luxury market will be explosive.
luxury champagne player Moet Hennessy, who previously offered only imported
products, launched its first Indian-made wine.

Finding
Luxury is not just about selling an emotion but also delivering an experience Therefore,
getting the right space is critical.
Biggest issue is the lack of proper infrastructure
The government policies also don't support luxe retail.
Bureaucracy and high market-regulation are another bother.
India imposes 45-65 percent taxes on luxury goods unlike China's 20 percent.
There are many multinational luxury brands which are entering in India with their full
pace like Jimmy Choo, Gucci, Christian Dior, Louis-Vuitton, Cartier,, Prada,
Fendi and others.
Now the majority of luxury players have at least a limited online offer.
Above given statistics of growth of luxurious brands are proofs of success of brands in
the Indian market.
So we can say that Indian luxurious brands are making more space in Indian market.

Recommendation
About 90% respondents agree that Purchase of Luxury Products is totally related to the
Income level of an Individual. Income usually affects the lifestyle and attitude
of individuals which might shape choice of the products you buy.
In luxury brands most of the respondents prefer quality followed by price and
availability. This response shows that customers are ready to pay for quality.
In opinion of Respondents, majority of People buy luxury product because they want to
flaunt their superiority over others. Followed by those people who really have taste
of art and exclusiveness.

more superior then other brands.

According to survey most of the people prefer to shop luxury brands followed
by local brands International brand has least share.
50% of our respondents prefer to shop from malls than local market followed
by branded outlet. This shows that real estate (commercial) mall concept have
such a high impact on the sale of luxury items.
Due to less sales luxury brands generally fall into trap of discounting and that
goes very true in case of a developing country like India. To understand this
question following information is gathered.
According to respondents celebrity endorsement is one of the best ways
to promote luxury brands than word of mouth or public relation
