CURTAIN RAISER TO THE 70TH NGF THE 68TH NGF The 68th NGF was held on January 30 and 31, 2019, and was spread across approximately 3,50,000 Square Feet. Although January Fairs are organised on a relatively smaller scale than the July Fairs, the enthusiasm with which Members partake in them is just as palpable. For Two Days straight, participants were knee-deep in activity— interacting with Retailers, Buyers, and Distributors and taking down orders. All in all, it was a successful event and only motivated Members to look forward to the Four-Day 69th NGF that was to follow. THE 69TH NGF The 69th NGF was a massive coming-together of Apparel Stalwarts. It took place from July 15 to 18, 2019, covering an area of 7,00,000 Square Feet and Six expansive Halls. Having played host to approximately 882 Participants showcasing 1,062 Brands, the 69th Edition, as had been envisaged, truly set a benchmark for the Fairs that would follow. Members not only Networked and carried out immense trade throughout the Four days but they also, with great gusto, participated in events such as the Business Networking Session, which was organised by CMAI. Just like every Edition, the precision and uniformity in terms of planning, strategising, and organising the Fair was commendable. NGFs are effective Platforms to build worthwhile bonds with the who’s-who of the Apparel Industry, along with garnering business revenues and acquiring insights into the tales and trends pervading the Apparel and Fashion Industries. Having said that, both the 68th and 69th Editions of the Fair were Successful in that they not only garnered good Participation but also helped Members to grow their repute, connections, and overall Brand Identity within the purview of their respective durations. We are awaiting the 70th NGF with much eagerness. Are you too? APPAREL I December 2019 I 17
