“IBFW is built
keeping in mind the whole idea of destination fashion platform, and what a
better place than Goa to have something like this – Everybody loves Goa, our
brands love Goa, the designers love Goa, the media, the buyer and all the
people who travel to IBFW across the world, they all love Goa. There cannot be
a better place than this. As far as the whole idea of the fashion week is
concerned we have some great brands this season like Volkswagen, Absolut, Marks
& Spencer, MUD, Ikonic amongst many others who are supporting us and apart
from the big designers who we see a great potential to be a part of IBFW.
Overall we are trying to build a platform for destination fashion IP which is a
submerge of designers, buyers, media, influencers, VIPs normal people who love
fashion, students who come and inspire and get inspired to go the next level
and that’s what IBFW is all about. It’s going to be on the 14th and 15th of
November at the Goa Marriott Resort and Spa. So be there and let’s make it
larger than life”
