Criticism

The BPIFW, 2013 was a success and received well response by media and audience but the few local designers and models made it an issue of criticism among local fashion fraternity of Indore.[2] The large participation of international fashion designers, film actors and models from Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata disappointed local models and designers though the fashion week was concluded with a thumbs up from audience and media.
