The ‘Art Beyond
Fashion’ theme pays homage to the intertwining of art and fashion where every
piece of fashion item begins with an artistic interpretation by its creator,
and similarly it ends with an artistic interpretation of its beauty and appeal
by fans and buyers.
MFW brings together lifestyle and fashion trade businesses, importers, exporters, designers, brands, consumers and fashionistas into one house for exhibition and trade fashion showcase.
