NEIFT has been organising each edition every year in New Delhi and the cultural connoisseurs of the capital wait eagerly to get a glimpse of the North East in Delhi NCR. CEO of NEIFT and the curator of celebrating North East Vikram Rai Medhi, said, “Our Festival from the beginning was curated to create a bridge of understanding, exploring new possibilities and finding newer platforms for the potential, talented youth coming from different parts of the north-east. We, primarily being a fashion institute, want to give an international opportunity to the immensely talented fashion and textile designers from the 8 states and today I am proud to say that through our festival, designers from the NER have found new markets and also tied up hands with national houses to source NER sustainable textiles for design and product diversify initiatives.”
