“We discovered that most of the fashion shows and platforms only give room for well established designers which makes it really difficult for upcoming designers to breakthrough. So what we did was create a platform that will not just empower young designers but also transform their craft immensely by providing them with the opportunity to be mentored by established designers as well as share same stage with them,” he said.
