Together with Nuru Karim's planet-positive design philosophy, which came through in a stunning set design inspired by nature and made using recyclable materials to ensure net-zero carbon footprint, the fashion show was a true hallmark of celebrating the trend shifts towards making fashion more planet-conscious.The vibrant and evolving expressions of 'Pride & Authenticity' of the youth of India shone through each element of the night.

The fashion show presented new-age bridal-wear, modern column dresses, tuxedos and jackets, which together with tantalizing drumbeats, created a sensorial fashion & lifestyle experience.Talking about the show, designer Amit Aggarwal, said, "Over the past decade, we have approached the concept of sustainability as breaking down existing materials to their elemental aspects and applying the finest principles of craftsmanship to create something new altogether. Blenders Pride Glassware Fashion Tour has given us a very powerful platform to take pride in this passion of ours, together with celebrated architect Nuru Karim. The show was an extension of our principles to bring sustainability to the fore -- at the intersection of fashion and high art."Architect Nuru Karim, Founder and Principal, NUDES, commented, "It's a matter of pride to come together with leading designer Amit Aggarwal for Blenders Pride Glassware Fashion Tour, to set forth a vision towards celebrating sustainability in fashion. The collaboration between architecture and fashion celebrates the role of "Nature" both as mentor and inspiration to explore best practices in sustainable design. We must design responsibly to leave a legacy for our future generations and leave the world in a better place than we found it. It is exciting to see the Fashion Tour shines the spotlight on this unique theme this year."Besides the spectacular fashion show, the evening featured an exciting new element in this year's Fashion Tour that is the 'Style Gallery' called 'This is not a T-shirt', curated by Ashish Soni and FDCI -- an exhibit of T-shirt outfits designed by over 60 designers & homegrown fashion labels, who have embellished or even deconstructed the basic T-shirt into a design celebrating their authentic interpretation of Pride.
