The four themes of the show were – “elegance@ work” (corporate wear), “be chic be the star” (party wear), “chill out in comfort” (casual wear) and ethnic & contemporary (fusion wear).
The esteemed panel of judges included Ms Agneiszka Fijol, Senior Manager, South Asia, Cotton Council International, Ashwinder Singh, CEO, USI and fashion designers Puja Nayar and Gaurav Gupta.

The creative designs showcased this evening validate cotton's appeal as a fashionable fabric” said, Agnieszka Fijol, Manager, South Asia at Cotton Council International.
