JJ Valaya:
Our association started in the year 2012 with ours being the Grand Finale show at the Mumbai edition of IBFW. It was an exceptional experience and we are glad to take forward the association this year as well, as we open the first edition of IBFW, Delhi. I find IBFW focused and with a definitive vision for the future of the Bridal fashion industry in India. India being one of the few places in the world where couture is still created and cherished, IBFW successfully showcases the coming together of the best and biggest couturiers of the country on a single unified platform. I cannot imagine IBFW not being the first and last stop for a prospective bride or groom!
Jyotsna Tiwari:
IBFW focuses to provide the best in the category of bridal luxury. Being part of IBFW gives an Indian designer the opportunity to showcase their collection to a wide range of audience. Also it is a great platform to promote trade and connect with consumers and buyers.
Raghavendra Rathore:
The India Bridal Fashion Week is a unique platform discreetly providing all the needs for an ideal wedding and also giving direction to couture trends for the season. The exclusiveness of the event only enhances the business approach the entire concept has, in both the B2B and online presence. It is a pleasure to be part of the IBW platform and we look forward to a long term association.
Rina Dhaka:
The India Bridal Fashion Week provides a great platform for us designers to showcase the couture collection and this grand scale event is the best occasion for an interaction and understanding of the buyers.
Shantanu & Nikhil:
Since we are known for our contemporary couture lines for the modern Indian bride, Aamby valley India Fashion Week automatically becomes an appropriate platform to show case our Fall Winter 2013 collection.
Suneet Varma:
I am pleased to be associated with the India Bridal Fashion Week and very excited to showcase my Fall 2013 collection. We are a nation of people who have had the tradition of having things ‘made to measure’ or ‘personally customised’, so couture and its benefits are not lost on us. The Bridal Couture week in Delhi and Mumbai are well planned and provide the designers with an interesting platform to showcase the collection well before the season begins and so it’s good for business. I am happy to be part of this robust partnership and look forward to many more years of success.
Tarun Tahiliani:
Glimpses of shimmering gold, hues of soft pastels and a whimsical frothiness are reminiscent of an era of charm and elegance. “Creating couture which keeps distinctive Indian crafts alive, while exploring visions in sparkling crystal and carat, reflects emotions that give shape to sensuous, elegant and bespoke luxury for brides, grooms and their families as well as for other occasions. This collection will be living, breathing heritage, married with the fresh vibrancy and essence of modern India.
