FDCI is delighted to bring back the new edition of VHIMW with the best names in the business. The fourth focused event in the world exclusively for men’s fashion, VHIMW has in its three years given impetus to the designer menswear market in India.

Market for men’s clothing in India is estimated to be worth $2 billion a year and growing annually at 30%. And this market is ready for designer menswear as evident by the two past successful editions of the event.

The ‘Van Heusen India Mens Week’ also provides a platform to promising talent to receive recognition through the ‘VH Emerging Designer of the Year’ contest. The winner will be felicitated and given a chance to showcase his designs at the Week.
