Eighteen models that make for the perfect eye candy, eight new fashions shows, and one new property – we’re talking about the Van Heusen GQ Fashion Nights that will take place for the first time ever on the 1st to 2nd of December 2015, at the Grand Hyatt Mumbai.

These models, fresh on the block, will be accompanied by industry mavens on the ramp, wearing some of the best menswear designs in the country. And you know why we know they’re the best?

They’re hands down, the most path-breaking menswear designers that have come together to usher in a new age of menswear in India. Along with one show from each designer or designer-duo, Van Heusen will also be displaying two one-of-a-kind shows. It’s going to be sleek, sophisticated, and marriage of Western and desi trends. And before you know it, these trends will manifest themselves inside your very closets, fashion lovers. Here’s what GQ India editor in chief, Che Kurrien has to say:
This initiative will not only set a grand stage for Indian menswear designers, but also reflect the financial clout wielded by a vast market that has seen explosive growth in recent years.
So, stay tuned to GQ India for more updates! We’re going to be there because we can’t miss out on anything, what about you?
