Tommy Hilfiger, Bestseller India, Rare Rabbit, Being Human Clothing lead awardees’ list with multiple trophies at India’s most prestigious fashion business awards

The 21st Annual IMAGES Fashion Awards (IFA) acknowledged the achievements of India’s leading fashion brands and retail companies at a spectacular ceremony last night at The Leela Ambience, Gurgaon. Emceed by Anish Trivedi, President, Alenka Media and renowned actor and singer Manasi Scott, the ceremony was attended by the C-Suite of India’s fashion retail industry, including celebrated educationist and design management strategist Dr Darlie O Koshy, and Shailesh Chaturvedi, MD & CEO, Arvind Fashions Ltd.

Being held after a two-year hiatus due to the covid-19 pandemic, IFA 2022 emphatically recognised the tremendous innovation and powerful bounce back of the fashion retail industry in India. Awards were given away under 24 different categories to global and made-in-India fashion brands, including Bestseller India, Arvind Fashions, Rare Rabbit, Zara, AND, Bata, Levi’s, among many others.

The IFA 2022 selection process involved inviting entries from the nation’s leading fashion brands and retailers across multiple categories for outstanding performance in the calendar year 2021.

There was also a nationwide survey involving 50+ shopping centres across metros, Tier 1, 2 and 3 locations, asking them to name their most desired-for brands – regardless of whether those brands were their tenants or not!

The IFA 2022 Grand Jury included distinguished personalities and intelligence leaders from multiple fields and with thorough insights on the business of fashion. The jurors included ABHISHEK BANSAL, Executive Director, Pacific Development Corporation Limited;  DALIP SEHGAL, CEO, Nexus Malls; HARMINDER SAHNI, Founder & MD, Wazir Advisors; DR. M. M. HUNDEKAR, Principal, School of Fashion Technology; PRAMOD RANJAN DWIVEDI, President — real estate, Ambuja Neotia; RAJAT WAHI, Partner, Deloitte and SHIBU PHILIPS, Business Head, Lulu International Shopping Mall
