STRONGER TOGETHER
Sunil Sethi, Chairman, FDCI
Harper’s Bazaar: Tell us about the decision to showcase a combined fashion week this season.
Sunil Sethi: The FDCI and Lakmé Fashion Week (LFW) have a relationship that goes back many years. We have always been institutions that believe in the potential of the Indian design fraternity, and have relentlessly worked towards nurturing and strengthening talent. Joining forces is an acknowledgment of the fact that over the past year, the design community has dealt with an unforeseeable impact on business. It was, therefore, imperative that we unite, for the greater good.
HB: Do you plan to continue this alliance in the future as well?
SS: This collaboration is a historic event, and we are evaluating the impact our partnership has had. One vision, however, remains—we will always work together to serve the best interest of the Indian fashion and design community.
HB: What was it like working with the Lakmé Fashion Week team?
