“In a departure from tradition, we have agreed upon the choice of two great Indian designers instead of one, who will bring to the audiences signature lines that are flawless and showcase the best of fashion for men” he further added.
Mr. Shital Mehta, COO, Van Heusen, said: “We are extremely happy to have chosen Ashish Soni; Rohit Gandhi & Rahul Khanna as the Van Heusen Grand Finale designers. We are confident that their lines will bring together the best of contemporary design and practical fashion and more importantly, make it accessible to a larger set of our consumers. With the best fashion designers across the country showcasing their exclusive men's line for the first time at the Van Heusen India Mens Week, we are certain the event will raise Men's Fashion to a new level.”
FDCI also announced the shortlisted contenders for the 'Van Heusen Emerging Designer of the Year'.
