etailing in India through 40 exclusive brand stores and 128 shop-in-shops in leading departmental stores, French menswear brand Celio has almost doubled its retail footprint in the country in the last 14 months. As Satyen Momaya, CEO, Celio India says, “About a year back, we transformed our business model including using digital to support aggressive offline expansion across channels. We have almost doubled our footprint in the last 14 months; for EBOs we have onboard some strong master franchise partners and have received good consumer response with strong regional MBO partners apart from strengthening our strong presence with LFS and e-com portals.” The brand that has made strong in roads in India in the past few years is now ready with its latest collections for winter ’18.
Collections for winter ’18 Caught between the struggles to adjust from the suburban neighborhood where he grew up to his current life in Manchester, the
new winter 18 collection by Celio is based on three distinct themes. These include: The Tailor Gang: A fusion of tailoring and casual, this theme offers “A new way of wearing and matching a suit that’s less stressed,” observes Momaya. It offers a

sporadic wardrobe that blends the street smart look with the tailored pieces to adapt to any type of event. The garments in this theme are available in comfortable and familiar autumn shades such as warm camel and taupe, burgundy, deep sapphire, chestnut and granite.
“The challenge is to maintain sharp price points without compromising on the quality and durability; we also see a big surge in demand on the value segment in the country.” Junction: Simple yet sophisticated, this collection combines noble materials with sporty ones. “Bright shades mustard yellow and bronze enliven the neutral shades of black, grey, ecru, mottled grey, beam thus brightening up the entire collection. Similarly, earthy shades of beige, camel, khaki and
touch denim fabric that is 92 per cent cotton, these combine great quality and soft, cushiony comfort. “Shirts in viscose and the range of sweaters in viscose blends are engineered to deliver an end product that would pamper the skin,” remarks Momaya. “We continue to witness good growth in men’s casual wear category driven by denim which is now bouncing back as athleisure is settling down. In France, we have good consumer acceptance of our denim and winter wear range which we now want to strengthen and focus in India,” he adds. Around 60 per cent of the collection is made from blends of fabric while the remaining 40 per cent is made from 100 per cent cotton. Knitted garments in the collection are predominantly made of nomadic prints, while the shirts have adopted autumn floral prints. He goes on to observe “The border between formal and casual wear has already been erased, it is sportswear that comes to move the lines.”
are helping global brands launch their operations in local market. “Investments by international brands on product innovation and environment sustainable practices are been appreciated by consumers,” affirms Momaya. The scenario is becoming interesting, the challenge is to maintain sharp price points without compromising on quality and durability, and “we also see a big surge in demand on the value segment in the country.” He says global brands are currently relooking at their pricing strategies for smaller towns. Their main challenge is “to maintain sharp price points without compromising on quality and durability,” Momaya explains. “We see a big surge in demand in value segment in the country,” he remarks.
Business outlook Elaborating on the brand’s business strategies for upcoming season, Momaya says, “Last year, GST was introduced and there were some teething issues, now that is over and we are seeing good growth and are already confident that this trend will continue. We are looking forward to a good season.” Although aware of the inevitability of promotions and discount, Momaya aims to improve first quality sellout through identification of big bets and 360 degree focus to ensure better sellouts on the big bets. “We are working harder on in season fast seller replenishment. Last year both these initiatives helped reduce our discount by 400 basis points,” he states.
Influx of global brands navy are enlivened by the influence of brighter shades of hazelnut, rust and bottle green, orange, rust,” Momaya adds. Nomad: Is all about a functional silhouette that stands the test of time. The practical clothing is mixed with local inherited craftsmanship, patchwork with ethnic accents. “Denim would take center stage with washed and worn out story told around in the entire collection. Denim gets an extended color range with just not Indigo (stone, bleached) but also rust, khaki, beige, black and grey. sunkissed shades of sand, red, rosewood and shades of grey accentuate the traveler’s wardrobe color palette,” he explains.

Zoiro makes garments from innovative fabrics that are crafted in latest patterns to suit a man’s needs perfectly. The softest underwear ever “The softest underwear ever will keep you comfortable in any season, come rain or shine,” says Navinn Seksaria, Managing Director.
