The Blenders Pride Fashion Tour, recognized as India’s premier fashion authority, will return in 2025 with an extraordinary edition that merges fashion, creativity, and culture to create ‘The One and Only’ platform, establishing the direction for future fashion. In an era where trends can be short-lived, the Fashion Tour boldly steps forward, redefining what it means to advance fashion and establish ‘Fashion’s Next Move.’ This theme serves not merely as a slogan but as a definitive assertion that the next chapter in fashion does not commence on any ordinary runway; it starts on the stages of the Blenders Pride Fashion Tour.
Collaborating once more with the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), the tour unites India’s top designers and renowned style figures to deliver experiences that transcend traditional fashion boundaries. The journey will commence in Gurugram with ‘The Futureverse of Fashion,’ showcasing designers Falguni and Shane Peacock, alongside celebrities Shahid Kapoor and Tamannaah Bhatia, who will unveil the future of fashion experiences. This segment aims to redefine the runway as an immersive visual spectacle that merges technology with couture, altering the dimensions of fashion engagement.
The tour will then proceed to Jaipur, featuring ‘High Octane Couture,’ where designers Abhishek Patni and Namrata Joshipura will draw inspiration from motorsports, introducing speed, power, and precision to the fashion runway, crafting a new global style narrative. Highlighted by the charisma of Harnaaz Sandhu, Miss Universe 2021, and the dynamic presence of rapper Raftaar, this segment promises an exhilarating, fearless, and stunningly glamorous fashion showcase. The grand finale in Kolkata will present ‘Breaking the Moulds of Fashion Craft,’ welcoming back the iconic designer Anamika Khanna, accompanied by Ishaan Khatter. This segment will emphasize the exquisite power of craftsmanship while connecting it with contemporary vision, offering audiences not just fashion to appreciate but also artistry to honor.
Debasree Dasgupta, CMO of Pernod Ricard India, remarked, ‘The Blenders Pride Fashion Tour has established itself as the most iconic platform for Indian fashion. Guided by our ambition of ‘The One and Only,’ we continue to set new standards in the evolution of fashion and style, collaborating with India’s best designers and the FDCI.
