Besides this, people from the media, fashion & movie industry, netiziens and many other people from various backgrounds attended day 1 of the event.

Conceived and co-curated by Radha Goel and Poonam Mittal, the exhibition charts an incredible journey in couture fashion designers and luxury home décor. The infectious energy of luxury fashion and styling the serious fashion lovers found a lot of their choice at the event. Unlike many of the contemporary fashion shows, each exhibiting designer has personally constructed the garments for this event instead of showcasing off the shelf clothes one would find at any other upscale store.

Day 1 also saw many fashion enthusiasts interact one-on-one with the participating designers to discuss how luxury fashion could interlace their personal stories of life and career in custom made garments.  The guests soon couldn’t get their eyes off the stunning designer work at display. With the rhythms of soft music nestled in the air, the guests were seen moving from one booth to the next, only to discover more from the latest in fashion world. Geometric prints, embroidered sequins and opulent bridal work, bright details or futuristic & sophisticated cuts and colours; there was a lot for the guests to explore.
