India Fashion Week is a bi-annual fashion week organized and promoted by the Fashion Design Council of India. Wills Lifestyle sponsored it from 2006–2014 before Amazon became the sponsor.[1] The first event in 2000 featured the work of 33 designers.[2] There were also over thirty presenters at the Spring Fashion Week in March 2013.[3] In 2010, fire permits were not secured in time for the first-day events which caused an extra day to be added to accommodate the presentations that had been canceled on the first day.[4]
The WIFW autumn-winter 2014 started on 26 March 2014 with actress Shilpa Shetty walking the ramp wearing the collections of designer Tarun Tahiliani.[5] The WIFW spring-summer 2015 event started on 8 October 2014 at New Delhi.[6] The Indian fashion industry has become a growing industry with international events such as the India Fashion Week and annual shows by fashion designers being held across major cities of the country.[7]
