FORCES OF FASHION 2025: A celebration of community

Vogue India, in association with Rabanne, returned with the fourth edition of its global marquee event, Forces of Fashion, this September, and once again, it was more than just a sartorial celebration.

It was a stage for conversations, connections and creativity—this year framed by two compelling themes.

The exhibition explored “Rethinking Silhouettes: Architecture in Fashion”, bringing together 40 leading designers at Nilaya Anthology, an experiential space whose distinctive character resonated with the spirit of the showcase.

The red-carpet night, held at JW Marriott Mumbai Juhu, embraced “Family and Friends”, underlining the relationships that anchor the fashion community.

The exhibition blurred boundaries between disciplines, reimagining how garments can echo the structures we live in. Designers from around India presented works that treated textiles as architecture—structured yet fluid, bold yet intimate.
