According to recent industry reports, GenZ is the largest generation by population, and globally, fashion is their most preferred shopping category. With the highest concentration of Gen Z population in the world at 52%, India has witnessed a rapid growth of contemporary brands and homegrown D2C labels, particularly in the fashion domain. Leveraging the opportunity to serve the evolving fashion needs of consumers across the country, and curated with a deep understanding of these consumers, ‘The Indian Garage Company X Surya Kumar Yadav’ collection is a range that addresses a very specific growing need for casual wear for men. It is aimed at young working professionals and college students who continue to look for branded, quality, and fashionable clothing that suits their ever-evolving lifestyle.
Speaking about the launch, Abhishek Maloo, Senior Director, Flipkart Fashion, said, “Our vast reach and deep understanding of the fashion landscape has enabled us to serve a growing number of fashion-conscious consumers across India over the years. At Flipkart, we have observed the increasing popularity of men’s casual wear over the past few years, with consumers in both metros and T2+ regions seeking options that are more ‘everyday wear’ and versatile in style. With a growing number of D2C brands addressing varied customer needs in the casual wear segment, its share of the closet as a fashion essential has increased tremendously. The Indian Garage Company X Surya Kumar Yadav collection effectively caters to the growing need for fashionable and comfortable clothing. We believe in being an accessible marketplace for all brands and sellers to solve the country’s growing fashion needs, and this launch is aligned with our vision.”
