AIFW will be held at Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in March

For the first time the Amazon India Fashion Week (AIFW) will be hosted at New Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in March. Last year, the show was held at the NSIC grounds in the capital. The fashion extravaganza, which is being hosted in association with Maybelline New York, will take place from March 16 to 20.

Sunil Sethi, President of Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) welcomed the announcement of the new place and said that it would serve as a befitting platform to ‘elevate the standard of the fabulous AIFW Autumn-Winter 2016 showcasing’. He called the new location ‘spectacular’. FDCI is the country’s apex fashion body. According to Sethi, the new venue will give Indian fashion ‘larger-than-life space that it deserves as we get set to predict luscious trends for the season’.

The AIFW is a biannual event which sees participation of leading designers such as Rohit Bal, Ritu Kumar and Raghavendra Rathore among others. Last year, over 100 designers from all over the country showcased their magnificent designs.
