A fashion week distinct from many others, IFW is a combination of runway shows and a trade show exhibiting hundreds of designers, all held side by side on the one site. For the participating designers, it transpires, the cost of involvement is subsidized by the government. This not only means great news for upcoming designers who would otherwise find participation unaffordable, it also means that the labels shown are in a sense hand picked; no-one is there simply because they can afford to be. - fashionising.com -
