Indian Streetwear Brands Aim for Global Recognition Amid Growing Market
Indian streetwear is gaining international attention as homegrown brands like NorBlack NorWhite and Dhruv Kapoor showcase their unique designs on global platforms. NorBlack NorWhite, known for its cultural platform and women-led initiatives, collaborated with Nike to introduce traditional Indian tie-dye techniques to a broader audience. Dhruv Kapoor, another prominent designer, presented his Spring/Summer 2026 collection at Milan Fashion Week, challenging the perception of India as merely a mass manufacturer. The Indian apparel sector is experiencing rapid growth, with a projected compound annual growth rate of 10% to 12%, potentially reaching $130 to $150 billion by 2030. This growth is supported by the increasing recognition of Indian designers like Gaurav Gupta and Rahul Mishra at international fashion weeks.
