Globalisation of Fashion Industry


The developing country like China and India, they have substatial production industries in both areas- Textile and Apparel. China and India are the world's largest and leading single country exporter of textile and apparel.


Nature of Developing Country

Newly developing country like India has GDP( Gross Domestic Product) below the average level. The citizens commonly have low level income, high levels of unemployment, high illiteracy rate and the large proportion of the population lives in poverty and because of high unemployment wages are low. Start up costs for the apparel industry are competatively low and short training times. The Apparel industry requires labour- intensive production, therefore newl developing countries are ideal location.

The greatest real growth of wealthy individuals in the BRIC countries and they are buying the luxury goods faster and better than they do any other category.

Updated CV

Here is my recent CV attached in the blogs. I think, our CV format and content should be easy and effective in view and simple in understanding. CV is the first and only impression of the un seen person. It's totally depends on CV to decide for interview call.
For the Employers or Interviewers, it is very hard to decide to which one to call for interview or for further process among thousands of CVs. However, If the CV is affecting and eye catching then it works.
