The IAF together with the Clothing Manufacturers Association of India, is gearing up to host the 32nd IAF World Fashion Convention in Mumbai on September 27-28. The convention will be held at the Trident Hotel, Nariman Point. At hand would be an impressive cast of speakers who would present their views on cutting edge developments in the fascinating fashion industry.
IAF conventions are known for covering a broad range of strategic issues such as: sourcing, retailing, technology, denim and branding. And they are known to combine deep local insights with a true global outlook. The speakers are therefore a strong combination of the top of the Indian fashion industry and international experts. Some of the speakers lined up are: Alex Thomas, VP of VF Corporation who will share the floor with Faruque Hassan, Senior-VP, BGMEA and Fred LeMoine of Weave/TAL Hong Kong for the sourcing session.
The branding session brings together top names from Indian brands including the President for Raymond Apparel and the Indian market CEOs of Bestseller, Tommy Hilfiger and Nike. The retail session will cover the fascinating story of one of the largest and fastest growing markets for fashion in the world with Reliance, Shoppers Stop and Arvind Brands.
Finally, no future vision in the fashion industry is complete without a session on technology. And to that end, major global technology suppliers to the fashion industry like WGSN, WTiN, Alvanon and Lectra will explain how tech is changing fashion’s industry. The theme for this convention is ‘Insights into New Opportunities’.
