Arshiya's label Araiya is going strong and the designer has been able to set up a production facility that can produce 5,000 dresses and keep budgets at around Rs1,000 (per uniform).
On an average a designer trouser-shirt combo or ladies wear, can be produced at Rs900 and go up to Rs3,000.
"The trend," points Fakih, "is creeping towards western formals, with sarees taking a back seat with most international corporates having operations in India."
School uniforms are becoming more innovative with customised patterns, fabrics, cuts for summer and winter sessions.
