Haresh Mirpuri Of Aranyani: How We Plan To Rebuild In The Post COVID Economy

I would always call on the fashion fraternity to first and foremost avoid any waste that our industry dumps into the environment. I also would encourage everyone to avoid monetary waste and focus on creating products that will build the supply chain. This industry is growing at a great cost to many others. Instead, we should compete on skills and technical ability rather than low-cost production. Fashion is an art form and art is the language of our civilization. We should be conscious about what language we wish to speak in our civilization.
