India based International Institute of Fashion Design (INIFD) and London School of Trends (LST) took Indian Fashion to Foreign by celebrating the artistry of emerging Indian student designers at the Passage to India event during London Fashion Week on February 16, 2019. For the 6th consecutive season the fashion show took place in the Freemasons Hall at Covent Garden.
INIFD, in collaboration with the LST, is the first fashion institute in the world to showcase their students’ collection at two major fashion capitals of the world New York and London. The INIFD has showcased the work of its students at Mumbai’s Lakme Fashion Week for the past 22 editions.
Independent labels from India such as Malmal Tadka, Namza & Rocky Star also showcased their collections along with the students at London Fashion Week. The chief guest for the evening was Mr. Manish Singh from the Indian High Commission along with other dignitaries, who were present to support the young Indian designers.
The inspiration behind the fashion show was Prime Minister Narendra Modi 5F Formula, which translates to; Farm to Fibre to Fibre to Fabric, Fabric to Fashion and Fashion to Foreign. The designers pushed their boundaries and they believe in constantly expanding, innovating and creating a collection that appeals to the global audience while still retaining a vintage aesthetic.
