British fashion house Vivienne Westwood is set to host its inaugural fashion show in India on April 1, 2025, at Mumbai's iconic Gateway of India. This event aims to celebrate India's rich textile heritage by featuring couture pieces crafted from indigenous fabrics such as hand-woven silks, Khadi cottons, and wool.
