Emporio, the yet-to-open luxury mall from DLF, is already gaining recognition as a premier luxury destination in the country and has been selected to host a fashion week in October.
Beginning on October 14, the event will showcase the collections of Indian designers selected by a jury of experts from the industry. The week will be organised and managed by Prodigy Fashion, an event management company. Sumeet Nair, an experienced professional from the industry, has been hired in the capacity of a consultant, to guide the company at strategic and operational levels starting with the Fashion Week at the Emporio.
Speaking on his new role, Nair said, “My effort has always been to strategically position India on the global fashion map. In sync with international practices, where there are several simultaneous events during a week, Fashion Week at the Emporio will showcase India’s most creative talent during this Indian fashion fiesta. The thought behind this event is to aspire to consistently higher levels of organisation, creativity, presentation and focus, thereby moving the entire fashion industry ahead, keeping in mind the feedback received from designers, buyers, media, and other industry stakeholders.”
Rohit Bal, one of the country’s leading designers showcasing at the Fashion Week, said, “I am excited to be a part of the week at the Emporio. I have complete faith in the management and am confident that this event will benefit the fashion industry as a whole.”
Designer Tarun Tahiliani, who is also on the list of participants at the Fashion Week at the Emporio, said, “The potential India has today in the business of fashion is astounding. We stand at the threshold of change, and I am happy to be a part of this project. The Fashion Week at the Emporio will further enrich the fashion scenario in the country.”
