India Fashion Awards has been curated to spark a fresh wave of excitement and motivation in the fashion industry and confer the right professionals with deserving praise and admiration. Iconic designers in the Indian fashion industry have taken the global fashion stage by storm and received their due honour. But there are unsung heroes of the industry, behind the scene of this new fashion revolution, still waiting for the rightful recognition.
