ADW PHILOSOPHY & VALUES

ADW is heralding in a new wave in the Asian Fashion & Design Industry by bringing together designers, artists, models, studios and creative geniuses from across India and Asia on a single platform. ADW strongly believes in its core values:

  • Nurturing Talent – The platform is dedicated to nurturing top and emerging Asian designers and showcase their talents irrespective of their age, gender, religion, caste and social background. ADW provides opportunities to next-gen designers, fashion models, make-up artists and other technicians to garner invaluable experience on the world stage.

The various cultures, traditions and colours of Asia provide a never-before-seen cultural extravaganza on a single platform.
