Further expansion took place with the launch of the official website, www.glamly.com in 2018.

“In the early ’90s, the Indian market for women's western-wear was dominated by imports from China and Thailand, which inspired the company to launch MADAME to create a world-class brand of fashionable western wear for Indian women.”- Akhil Jain, Executive Director, JACPL [6]

Tara Sutaria Roped In As The Brand Face

Madame launched Tara Sutaria as the brand’s celebrity face in 2021. The campaign showed  Tara alongside a group of other young women, meandering in a picturesque dreamland of floral orchids and sun-kissed landscapes, and later stepping out of the dream doorway to realize that the dreamland was MADAME’s outlet. The campaign was themed #MakeNowYours, enforcing that MADAME’s spring-summer and autumn-winter collections would be exactly about immersing oneself in nature and own the now with their 2022 collections [9] .

Launch of First Perfume, Lueur, in collaboration with Shanaya Kapoor

Entering another lifestyle category, MADAME launched its fragrance line in 2023 and announced Shanaya Kapoor as the brand’s face for MADAME Fragrances, with the launch of Lueur by MADAME – a premium French fragrance. [4]
