Mumbai, India – India’s design education ecosystem continues to cultivate a new generation of innovators who are reshaping global fashion narratives. Exemplifying this evolution is The Graduate Show 2025, presented by NIF Global Andheri (Centre Head: Ms. Mamta Gautam) in proud association with VCHIC Image Consultancy (Founder: Mrs. Varsha Chaturvedi). This landmark event showcases the transition of graduating designers into industry-ready professionals, embodying the convergence of creativity, identity, and industry insight.
The Graduate Show ’25 is more than a fashion presentation — it’s a celebration of vision, grit, and transformation. With every collection, students weave together tradition and innovation, presenting a unique fusion of bold silhouettes, cultural depth, and modern storytelling.
VCHIC Image Consultancy’s collaboration has brought exceptional polish and strategic depth to this year’s edition. Renowned for turning emerging designers into confident, market-ready personalities, VCHIC has elevated the show into a high-impact confluence of design, branding, and presentation. Their expertise ensures every graduate walks the runway not just as a designer, but as a powerful creative force.
NIF Andheri’s alumni have already begun shaping global style narratives — from contributing to the Cannes Film Festival, Vogue, and the Met Gala, to styling Indian icons such as Guneet Monga, Janvi Kapoor, and Shah Rukh Khan. These milestones underscore the institute’s commitment to excellence and opportunity through focused mentorship.
Adding to the prestige, renowned fashion stalwarts Vikram Phadnis, Rajat Tangri, Mrunal Mistry, and Rahul Sharma joined as jury members for the third-year graduating cohort on May 28th. Their involvement brought real-world relevance to the showcase — with Vikram Phadnis hiring seven students on the spot, and Rajat Tangri offering a placement to one. Their affirming feedback ignited confidence and cemented the event as a career-defining experience.
“We are proud to host a show that not only displays talent but launches careers,” said Mr. Vivek Gautam, Founder of NIF Global Andheri. “This year’s Graduate Show marks a turning point for our institute. Our students are gaining global recognition, and this event stands as a benchmark for India’s next generation of fashion leaders.”
