Fashion Street refers
to a cluster of about 130 to 140 clothing shops on MG Road in South Mumbai,
India. Readymade garments are one of Mumbai's chief exports, so the same
clothes sold at leading US and European retail stores can be purchased
on Fashion Street for a fraction of their price abroad. Furthermore, many
proprietors haggle.Besides clothing, there are also several shoe and jewelry
shops.
It is a very popular
area with college students and teenagers, and, since Fashion Street is
little known to those outside of Mumbai, tourists only rarely venture there.
Bollywood celebrities are also known to patronize Fashion Street.
