Last but not the least was our maiden fashion event at the 3rd Denimsandjeans event- FASHIONIM. This was the first time a fashion show was organized at one of our shows . Special thanks go to our sponsoring partners – Vicunha Textil (Brazil), Arvind (India) and Hameem Denim (Bangladesh) for providing us the support to enable us bring out this much appreciated event at our show.
