Fashion is no more simply an aesthetic requirement but is now a powerful expression of self and Zouk is one of the frontrunners that has rightfully captured this insight. Zouk is a brand that truly embodies the spirit of the modern Indian woman and its commitment to ethical fashion resonates with my values.
