Now a kids’ fashion week in India

Guess the number of fashion weeks in India is going to grow manifold with another fashion

week exclusively focused on kids’ fashion getting added to the existing ones. After the exclusive Men’s Fashion Week, India is going to host its first ever India Kids Fashion Week from January 17 to 19, 2012 in Mumbai. Around 500 kids of age group (4-14) will be selected from Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru to walk the ramp during this event.

The three day gala will see 24 shows with eight designers showcasing every day. From shoes, stylish outfits to accessories, kids are all set to sashay down the runway in outfits by designers Rocky S, Nishka Lulla and Narendra Kumar among others. Kids’ wear brands like Barbie, Little Kangaroos, Just for Kids, and Kidology with designer collections by Raghuvendra Rathore, Malini Ramani, Gauri and Nainika and Gaurav Gupta will also be the part of the show.

The decision to organise a kids’ fashion event is inspired by the fact that kids’ fashion industry is booming in India and the market in terms of branded retail has gone up by 25 to 30 per cent. And apart from many Indian brands, international labels like Fendi, Burberry are planning kids’ collection.
