At the Amazon India Fashion Week spring-summer ’17 starting tomorrow last two days of the five-day showing from Oct 12-16, at the NSIC Grounds, will witness young talent rub shoulders with fashion czars through ‘First Cut’, ‘Accessory’ and the grand ‘Men in Fashion’ showcasing, which will set a new precedent. The idea behind this segmentization is to be able to nurture the myriad aspects of design and integrate it under one umbrella.
“Our event has maintained a fine balance between established designers along with young entrants, the latter give a fresh perspective to the set style vocabulary. We began the ‘Accessory’ show and ‘Men in Fashion’ show in the AW’16 season and the ‘First Cut’ show with Elle, last year, to provide young designers a platform to carry forward the legacy. This season, I am delighted that these three shows will be adding more value to the grandeur of AIFW SS’17,” remarks Sunil Sethi, President FDCI.
