Virgio transforms into a circular fashion brand, pioneering a new era
Mumbai: Virgio, a fashion-tech start-up has announced a new version of Virgio which is set to be unveiled this week. The Accel, Prosus and Alpha wave-backed fast fashion brand is evolving into something even more meaningful and powerful. This exciting development marks a new chapter in the brand’s journey, promising to be still fashion-forward with enhanced customer experiences, and a renewed commitment to circularity and innovation. As one of the fastest-growing fashion start-ups, Virgio’s customer base grew over a lakh within the first year of its launch. This year marks a renewed commitment from Virgio to build fashion better.
With Myntra the former CEO Amar Nagaraman, at the helm, Virgio has consistently captured the essence of contemporary fashion trends while maintaining its distinctive identity. The upcoming revamp is a reflection of Amar Nagaraman’s dedication to evolving with the ever-changing needs and desires of its discerning clientele. His vision to make circular fashion the way of life is pro-planet and will usher in a new era in the fashion industry in India. The brand’s design team has been hard at work, meticulously crafting new collections that embody both sophistication and modernity, all made in natural fabrics to ensure they last longer, are good for the community and can be recycled after their usage.
Commenting on the evolution, co-founder Amar Nagaraman stated, “While fast fashion is agile, trendy and caters to the growing needs of the young blood in India, it also promotes overproduction, overconsumption. Fast fashion companies use harmful fabrics and exploit labour to cut corners on pricing and quality fuelling the market with what will be sent to landfills. It’s a global crisis and we all are witnessing it. That’s why we’ve made a conscious choice to move our entire efforts to build a circular fashion brand.”

G-Shock launches GA-2100CM series with camouflage design
New sand and grey variants priced at Rs 10,995 each in India.
MUMBAI: Time just got a little more tactical and a lot more stylish. G-Shock has unveiled the GA-2100CM series, a fresh update to its popular GA-2100 line, bringing a camouflage twist to one of its most recognisable silhouettes. For the first time in the 2100 series, the watches feature G-Shock’s original camouflage pattern, subtly embedding the brand’s signature ‘G’ motif into the design. The move signals a shift towards more design-led storytelling, blending rugged functionality with fashion-forward detailing.
The new series introduces two colour variants sand (GA-2100CM-5A) and grey (GA-2100CM-8A) extending the model’s appeal across both streetwear and outdoor-inspired aesthetics. Built around the brand’s signature octagonal bezel and hybrid analogue-digital display, the watches retain a clean, modern look while adding layered visual depth.
Under the hood, the GA-2100CM continues to lean on performance. It features the Carbon Core Guard structure for durability, while maintaining a slim, lightweight profile suited for everyday wear. Functional elements include world time across 31 time zones, a 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer, LED light and 200-metre water resistance.
In line with evolving material choices, select components use bio-based resin, pointing to a gradual shift towards more sustainable design without compromising on toughness.
Priced at Rs 10,995, the GA-2100CM series is available across Casio India stores and online platforms.
As watch brands continue to balance utility with identity, G-Shock’s latest drop makes its intent clear, durability may be the legacy, but design is the new frontier.
