“Pragati Maidan is closed to public due to renovation work ahead of the Commonwealth Games,” says Sunil Sethi, president of Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), the organising body behind WIFW.
Sethi assures the Autumn/ Winter 2010 show will be a spectacular event, despite the venue change and rumours of a few big names' non-participation.
Some 75 designers are set to showcase their clothes on the ramp over 43 shows. Of the 19 designers making their debut at the fashion week, eight take the ramp and 11 will showcase in the stall area.
While the ramp, so far, has been about 64 ft long, this time it has been extended to 80 ft, says Sethi. “This is the largest ramp we've ever had,” he adds. This means more time for the shutterbugs and guests with the clothes and a longer walk for the models.
