Tehran’s fashion week began in 2006 and features modestly dressed women in brightly colored and print hijabs, jilbabs, abayas, and other traditional Islamic outfits. 1 Sixty designers were featured in India’s 2006 New Delhi Fashion Week, attracting 160 buyers (of which 70 were international) and bringing in $50 million dollars in revenue.2 Fashion Weeks offer opportunities to highlight national and international designers and to attract media attention and tourist dollars. The proliferation(a rapid increase in number) of fashion weeks around the world is only one aspect of the globalization of fashion.
The fashion industry faces many of the same challenges as other industries, such as outsourcing, intellectual property and piracy, environmental challenges, and the loss of local styles/goods.
