The 14th edition of the event will see captivating showcases by designers via engaging fashion films, which will be streamed on all the FDCI’s digital platforms — Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and FDCI website. The shows will be presented on a pre-set show schedule.

“Couture is the finest form of expression as it reveals the brand narrative, immaculate construction and design ideology in its truest element. ICW this year has seen an unprecedented response, despite the trying times with 19 coveted names showcasing, making it the biggest and brightest show. We are delighted Hindustan Times has once again joined hands with us to add continuity and bring these multi-faceted visions to the forefront,” said FDCI Chairman Sunil Sethi.
