Leading Indian textile designers like Divya Sheth, Shruti Sancheti and Raas showcased their creations at the event highlighting the crafts and textiles of Odisha with a modern designer touch.
 
Commenting on the initiative Sunil Sethi, President FDCI in a statement said, “In my entire career, I have never seen a fashion show that has over 5000 attendees. It is a record of sorts! The crafts of Odisha tell tales of the state that has some of the most intricate weaves like silk ikkat using the age-old Bandha technique to the memorable Bomkai saris."

“It offers a diverse set of woven wonders that have been curated painstakingly on handlooms. This fashion presentation is a tribute to the beauty of Odisha and Made in India," he added.
 
Odisha has been constantly promoting its textile and apparel sector which has already attracted a host of investors to the state. In the coming months, a textile park, jewellery park, footwear centre and apparel centre are expected to come up in Odisha which will be set up by corporates with the support of the local government.
