India Fashion Week
India Fashion Week is an bi-annual fashion week organized and promoted by the Fashion Design Council of India. It was sponsored by Wills Lifestyle from 2006-2014 before Amazon.in became the sponsor[1]
The first event in 2000 featured the work of 33 designers.[2] There were also over thirty presenters at the Spring Fashion Week in March 2013.[3]
In 2010, fire permits were not secured in time for the first day events which caused an extra day to be added to accommodate the presentations that had been cancelled on the first day.[4]
The WIFW autumn-winter 2014 started on March 26, 2014 with actress Shilpa Shetty walking the ramp wearing the collections of designer Tarun Tahiliani.[5] The WIFW spring-summer 2015 event started on October 8, 2014 at New Delhi.[6]
The Indian fashion industry has become a growing industry with international events such as the Indian Fashion Week and annual shows by fashion designers being held across major cites of the country.[7]
