FDCI has become instrumental in propelling the Indian fashion industry to tread the global business oriented path and believes in delivering the best designers event and top quality venue.

Mr. Sunil Sethi, President, FDCI said, “The upcoming Spring/Summer edition of Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week has been rescheduled to October. This is primarily due to the conflicting dates with other international fashion events and the non availability of the Hall no. 18 at Pragati Maidan that has become the standard venue for WIFW. We look forward to the best of Indian fashion designers participating in the event.”
Mr. Atul Chand, Divisional Chief Executive, ITC’s Lifestyle said, “Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week is the single most prestigious and celebrated fashion event of India.
