Fashion has to be rooted in soil and the soil of fashion is in Paris," said Stéphane Wargnier, a French fashion commentator and international fashion expert, This was at the recent Mint Luxury conference, during a talk on haute couture by Didier Grumbach, one of the grand old names of French fashion and president of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture.

Moderated by designer Hemant Sagar of Lecoanet Hemant, a former member of the Chambre, the panel was discussing what nourishes, sustains and propels fashion. This was in the context of Grumbach’s book History Of International Fashion, first published in French in 1993 and updated in 2008 and 2014; its English translation has been released in India recently.
