This is the Largest Garment Fair for the Domestic Retail Industry and this year it will be bigger & better than ever before. This is the perfect forum for Retailers, Vendors & Brands to interact with each other.
It will provide a platform for Brands & Companies to unveil their latest Collections, to be seen in advance, before they will be launched in Stores in September-October, 2007.
For the first time, the National Garment Fair will be spread over 25,000 sq. Metres in two Halls- Hall I & V of Bombay Exhibition Centre. More than 250 Companies representing more than 400 Brands will display their Collections.
Well known Fashion Designer Tarun Tahilani will also be showcasing his haute creations for the first time in the fair. More than 18,000 Visitors are expected in this Fair, as the Fair is restricted for Garment Dealers only.
For the first time, the National Garment Fair will host 6 Ramp Shows (Fashion Shows). There will be two shows per day for consecutive 3 days.
The 48th NGF will present a host of innovations this year. The newly created Franchising Zone with a prime location in Hall I will help to connect prospective Franchises with established National & International Brands.
