Fashion Week Blog

By Sumeet Nair

I visited Paris for a quick trip before Delhi Fashion Week Spring Summer 2009. It was important to touch base with our partners and other industry leaders there.

Delhi Fashion Week has tied up with MC2 (showroom shown below), one of the finest showrooms in Paris to work on and consult with creative Indian fashion designers. The Fashion Foundation of India will work closely with MC2 to enable Indian designers to streamline their processes as well as collections, and take Indian fashion to the next level

I really appreciate the time they spent explaining to me how a showroom works, the merchandising process, and sales books, order forms etc required to be done by designers. A special thanks to Catherine and Imad.
