Coterie, formerly known as Fashion Coterie is strictly a trade event in the women’s apparel segment where the average buyer participation goes up to 15,000 visitors. Among Indians, Tarun Tahiliani has showcased his collection at Coterie. “The mission of Coterie has always been to discover talent and put it in front of the most exclusive yet powerful retailers in the world,” says Kroll. The tie-up with Kroll comes in the wake of previous exchange programmes between various international platforms like the Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, Mercedes Benz fashion week, Alta Roma Week and Pret-a-Porter show in Paris in previous years, allowing Indian designers a global outlook.
“We have always had a two-pronged focus—one was to create a talent platform and the other to integrate India into the global fashion scene. Getting Coterie to handpick a few upcoming Indian talent is a step in that direction,” says Vikram Raizada, VP and head of fashion, IMG, India. Perhaps, this is the push required to resurrect the fledging Lakme Fashion Week.
