Fourteen top Indian fashion designers will take part in the prestigious Tranoi Fair to be held during the Paris Fashion Week.
The list includes Tarun Tahiliani, Rohit Bal, Rajesh Pratap Singh, Abraham & Thakore, Ananmika Khanna, Ashish Soni and Rakesh Agarwal.
The fair was first held in 1986 and is considered to be a significant event. It is often described as edgy and is one of the premier fashion trade shows along with Coterie and Premier Vision. The fair sees participation from almost 8,000 professionals and 300 international brands. It does not allow visitors.
This time, the Tranoi fair will have India as the theme. To be titled Made in India, the fair will have an Indian pavilion from October 2 to October 5 and then from March 2 to March 5.
“Last year, we did a Japan theme. This year we want to showcase the art and craft of India,” says Michael Hadida who, along with his father, has owned the fair for six years.
