Having been involved in the creative field for almost 15 years, Faiza Ahmed decided to explore the Fashion sector in the late 2012. Throughout her journey, she realised that fashion for many youngsters still means getting inspiration from the west. An avid fan of classical and folk music, she wanted to make a change and create designs that resemble the true beauty of art and heritage. Thus, she started experimenting with designs inspired by the popular trends, with a deshi touch.

Fashion aficionados were treated to a two-day gala at the FDCB event, which kicked off with a touching tribute to the late designer, Emdad Haque. Day one got off to a spectacular start, with Apex showcasing their latest footwear collection, while personal care brand, Ujjwala care, and hair care giant, Streax, wowed the audience with their innovative hair solutions.

As the most prestigious fashion event of the country, Bangladesh Fashion Week 2023 will highlight spectacular collections from 18 FDCB members and feature 6 visiting designers from India. The show will bring together fashion designers, retailers, and luxury stakeholders in one platform. Here’s a quick glimpse of the international designers who are showcasing their work this year.
