Delhi has always been the fashion hub of the country, but with movie industry based in Mumbai, the city of dreams has competed fairly well with the capital city in the terms of introducing some spectacular talents in the field of fashion. But in an unprecedented move, after two years of digital and phygital fashion showcases (due to the pandemic) the Indian fashion and beauty powerhouses and beauty - Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) and Lakme Fashion Week (jointly organised by Lakme & RISE Worldwide) have come together to host the first fully on-ground, season-fluid edition in New Delhi. We spoke with the top representatives of both and tried to find out what this collaboration will mean for Indian fashion.
Sunil Sethi, Chairman FDCI feels the return of FDCI X Lakme Fashion Week in a fully physical format is a sign that the world is returning to normalcy, and he says, he can't be happier. "FDCI X Lakme Fashion Week is an epitome of positivity, as it beckons effective co-operation between powerhouses in the fashion industry, as we bring meaningful initiatives to the fore, to drive growth in the post-pandemic world. The event being held in New Delhi reflects a collaborative effort, which will give the platform and its stakeholders the opportunity to interact with varied audiences, while engaging with the fashion community."
