Couture Week, Delhi ファッションウィーク

The ‘Synergy One Delhi Couture Week in association with Aircel’ is a unique platform to showcase the best in Indian couture designs.  The four day fashion event captures the finest impulses of the fashion industry at the fabled couture city of Delhi. Couture in India traces back in history where each garment was equated with fantasies, opulence, creativity and intricate art work for the maharajas and the moguls.  The event is an effort to recreate that magic blended with contemporary art to feature some of the most distinct collections on the ramp. These designs from the most prestigious designers of the country promise to delight all fashion enthusiasts and create never seen before moments.
 A select milieu of some of the most well-known names in the industry will weave together these four days to remember through a series of scintillating shows displaying the works of 12 most prestigious designers of India.
