IIFG will also organize fashion shows twice a day on all three days for showcasing the collections for business development.

The objective is to showcase latest garment and fashion accessories trends shaping up and leverage brand India across the globe.”
The current market sentiments are not upbeat. Delays in roll out of apparel package and stagnation in EU and US markets have led to export stagnation as per export data of April-Dec 2016. Rajani is hopeful IIGF would serve as an effective platform for networking, influencing buyer sentiments and demonstrating our product strengths.
Started in in 1988, IIGF happens to be the only B2B fair conducting meaningful and quality business. Incorporated in 1978, AEPC is the official body of apparel exporters in India that provides invaluable assistance to Indian exporters as well as importers/ international buyers who choose India as their preferred sourcing destination for garments.
