A glamorous fashion and business event in Delhi NCR
Gurugram, September 2019:
The 9th season of AFDC presents Flickstree Asian Designer Week (ADW) is about to hit India's fashion brigade with its loudest and trendiest bang. The 3-day fashion extravaganza is scheduled from October 4th to 6th at the prestigious A Dot by GNH in Gurugram, Delhi NCR. The event platform promises to be a turning point for India's fashion industry as it pairs runway shows with high profile business networking and knowledge sessions. A one-of-its-kind fashion event with a razor sharp business edge, the Festive Winter Edition 2019 is organized by FIO Dot Global Pvt. Ltd under the guidance and support of the Asian Fashion Design Council (AFDC).
Since its inception in October 2015, ADW has progressively become an inspirational platform for young fashion designers from across the country to show their creativity. ADW has to its credit the support of well-established national and international designers, buyers, industry veterans, media personalities, as well as businesses, institutes and government organizations. As a high profile fashion event, ADW is something that fashionistas look forward to with much anticipation.
In its 9th Season, ADW will continue with its streak of fashion, design innovation, creativity and grandiose presentation. Not only is the designer line-up an impressive one, but the concurrent events planned around the runway shows are worth the wait. More than 40 designers, ranging from young and budding talent, will showcase their work across 12 runway shows during the course of three days. The opening show will be presented by ace designer Dhruv Sehgal while the grand finale will be helmed by the dynamic Rosy Ahluwalia along with some of the young designers.
The world is your marketplace
Apart from the runway shows, ADW 2019 provides a B2B exhibition space for designers to showcase their work and engage with potential buyers. It's an open connection for all fashion professionals, such as designers, buyers, fabric manufacturers, retailers and stylists, to network and exchange business ideas as well as to collaborate and conceive alliances.
A pot pourri of great ideas
The ADW 2019 Conclave presented by Skootr is a well-curated concept that includes talk shows, workshops and investors meets. The talk shows bring industry experts on an open forum where ideas are discussed and debated. Having a practical hands-on session on a specific skill set is the idea behind the intensive workshops while the investor meet is designed as a unique opportunity for fashion start-ups to present their business plan to a group of angel investors. ADW 2019 will round off with highly entertaining after-parties at the end of each day.
