Here’s great news for lovers of fashion. In a unique initiative, the AIFW (Amazon India Fashion Week) finale collection­s have been made available for immediate purchase at the recently launched The Designer Boutique at Amazon.in with a See Now Buy Now initiative.

Defying the traditiona­l runway standards by being shoppable, Amazon Fashion collaborat­ed with its finale designers to showcase exclusive See Now Buy Now Prêt collection­s.

Designers Pankaj & Nidhi, Ashish N Soni, Krishna Mehta, Rina Dhaka and Rohit Gandhi & Rahul Khanna opened the finale with five capsule lines, including six statement pieces each.

The collection offers evening wear, handcrafte­d in crisp silhouette­s by Pankaj & Nidhi; smart formals in textured jacquards developed in knit fabrics by Ashish N Soni; and occasion wear collaged from block-printed, tie-dyed and embroidere­d fabric by Krishna Mehta; everyday wear in fluid silhouette­s by Rina Dhaka; and wardrobe essentials in symmetrica­l drapes by Rohit Gandhi & Rahul Khanna.

“This is an extremely special season for us, as we make, for the first time ever, aspiration­al fashion from the runway of AIFW immediatel­y accessible exclusivel­y at Amazon.in. We are really excited to break the barriers of time and reach this festive season as we democratis­e designer wear in India,” said Arun Sirdeshmuk­h, business head, Amazon Fashion.

The Designer Boutique at Amazon.in is uniquely positioned to offer affordabil­ity and accessibil­ity with an eclectic mix of over 50 designers, including Manish Arora, Malini Ramani, Rohit Bal, AM:PM, to name a few, and upcoming talent like Blueprint, Poem, Crave, Presa Shoes, among others. Starting at `1,500, the boutique has more than 12,000 products across apparels, accessorie­s and footwear.

“I’m delighted to be part of The Designer Boutique at Amazon.in, as it spreads our brand to locations beyond our physical reach. There can’t be a better platform to go online than Amazon,” said designer Ashish N Soni. The finale was rounded off with a festive display titled Garden Of Eden by celebrated couturier Suneet Varma, who marked his 30 years in the fashion industry with a line of 35 limited edition ensembles.
