The opening theme of NEIFW is “Fashion for all”, meaning that the fashion show is an amazing platform not just for designers who wish to showcase their creations, but also for kids, teens and ladies who are interested in fashion and its latest trends. Fashion enthusiasts will be coming from different parts of the country to attend the show.
The fashion event is being powered and hosted by the team of Kreative People led by noted designer Prasantt Ghosh, one of the leading fashion designers and fashion choreographers in the Northeast. Since 2015, Prasantt Ghosh and his team have been working rigorously on creating the biggest platform for the future of fashion and integrating the Northeast’s rich handloom crafts internationally

“NEIFW is not just another fashion event, but an event with a social cause. We had earlier created awareness on socially important issues like old-age homes, eye and organ donation, aforestation and conservation of the environment through this show. We also provide shelter and protect the animals in collaboration with PETA and many more animal welfare organisations. The eight season is there to create awareness for animal shelter and adopt animals,” said Prasantt Ghosh.
