Scenario:
The trend of wearing branded clothes is radically increasing among general public specifically in metropolitan cities of Pakistan such as Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad etc. We daily come across a large number of billboards displaying designers’ latest collections that are advertised by the best models, actors, and actresses. Ready to wear branded clothes are now likely acquired by customers and these brands are using inimitable promotional procedures to attract their respective target market. In continuation to this, a new trend of producing branded clothes for kids is observed, famous brands such as; Mini Minors, Colors, Maria B, Outfitters, Leisure Club, and Cross Roads are quite renowned in this regard. Ideally, parents and adults are seen as more brand conscious whereas kids usually don’t have any brand sense, having said this people are getting more brand conscious and want their kids to wear branded clothes as well. This is the reason why companies are catering adults and kids for producing unique, fashionable, and stylish cloth.
