Talking about the opportunity for the Indian intimate wear industry in a global landscape, he further added “India is undoubtedly amongst the largest potential Intimate apparel market in the world but we still do not have any worthwhile fashion platform that promotes, showcases intimate wear and its related talent. The concept of The India Intimate fashion Week is to provide a powerful and decisive platform to connect all potential stakeholders - Brands, customers, designers etc. in one place.”, Niraj added.
Amit Pandey, Media Head and Associate Partner, IIFW said “With India Intimate fashion Week, we intend bring alive the most elegant yet unexplored segment of fashion in India.
