The official hashtag for the event is #DecodingCouture, with the graphic theme of “waves”, as digital is creating ripples in the global fashion industry.
“The FDCI has been a frontrunner in establishing a fresh template, in tandem with the changing times. Couture has all the elements of fantasy, and as screens take over our lives, we hope to recreate the magic of this genre, with pure creativity. We are delighted to partner with Hindustan Times, as we immerse in a world of both print and digital,” said FDCI Chairman Sunil Sethi.
