“BREW-UP TREND” is India’s first indigenously developed trend forecast book, published biannually. This exclusive resource offers India-centric fashion trend insights with a global perspective. The handbook provides comprehensive, 360-degree seasonal trend information in simplified language, designed to guide brand creative teams in making strategic product development decisions.
