The state of Assam in India is promoting Khadi

16 February 2022, Mumbai:

Assam has launched a number of attempts to promote Khadi-based clothes as part of its ongoing efforts. The State's Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, has asked people to wear Khadi clothes as much as possible in order to increase its popularity.

The Chief Minister has also directed the Assam Khadi and Village Industries Board to research the mechanisms used by other states, such as Gujarat, in order to make khadi more feasible and profitable.

Why is workwear expected to be a major fashion trend in 2022?

16 February 2022, Mumbai:

Despite the fact that Kanye West and Julia Fox went all out on workwear during New York Fashion Week, they aren't the ones who started this trend. Workwear is making a comeback, thanks to a generation's desire for gender-fluidity, body positivity, authenticity, and more environmentally friendly design choices.

Coveralls, uniforms, and overalls in denim or canvas, with a plethora of pockets and other practical characteristics, are among the most popular items in fashion right now.

Workwear made a reappearance in the United States a few months ago, in the thick of the epidemic, before spreading like wildfire to the rest of the globe... or at least Europe.

Workwear Is Back, but Not Like You Remember

Many celebrities, including Kaia Gerber and Sydney Sweeney, have already embraced workplace aesthetics. As she pursues her passion for an auto repair, the latter frequently trades her gorgeous outfits for coveralls.

As a result, Generation Z and Millennials are progressively beginning to adopt workwear standards, which are both emblematic of the American labour movement and in accordance with numerous significant current trends.

With over 150 million views for the #workwear hashtag and around 45 million for #workwearstyle on TikTok, the style is already a hit.

And you have to acknowledge that workwear, especially for Generation Z, has all it takes to become one of the most coveted and sought fashion pieces. 

Workwear can adapt to various body types and sizes, as well as being gender-neutral in essence whether it's a boiler suit or overalls. The icing on the cake is that such clothing are frequently marketed as authentic and long-lasting, if only because to the high quality and long-lasting nature of the materials employed.

As a result of this resurgence, long-forgotten companies like Dickies and Carhartt, both of which are centenarians, have made a stunning comeback in recent months.

Workwear has long been central to their identity. Workwear might soon become the year's trend when combined with more traditional or even streetwear-inspired looks.

The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), Faruque Hassan: Bangladesh’s garment export to India will continue to grow

14 February 2022, Mumbai:

Bangladesh’s garment export to India will continue to grow, says Faruque Hassan, president of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA).

New BGMEA office bearers for 2021-2023 take over

Bangladesh garment shipments increased by 58.07 percent to $365.95 million in the July-December period of the current fiscal year from the $231.53 million recorded in the same period a year ago, according to data from the Export Promotion Bureau.

Of the total, knitwear exports surged by 66.46 percent to $161.69 million in value. The shipments of woven garments surged 52 percent to $204.26 million at the same time.

Exporters say the demand for Bangladeshi garment items is rising in India because of the expanding middle-income groups in the world's second-most population nation. Many prefer garment items produced in Bangladesh as they cannot afford expensive Indian high-end garment items.
