The idea behind bringing IFFTI to India was to showcase the universal convergence of fashion and design, while highlighting the enormous potential of the Indian market to the global audience.”

These thoughts were echoed by Mr Simon Lock, Creative Director, Dubai Fashion Week, “Conferences such as IFFTI are important to discuss the fashion industry’s ever-changing facets and to provide an overview about different aspects in the design supply chain. Backed by its rich cultural heritage, India has the creativity, fashion sense and sensibility to make a lasting impression on global fashion; it’s just a question of converting practical ideas into actual designs to further enhance this lineage.”
