The Delhi edition will take place from the 11th to the 15th of October, while Mumbai will host the event from the 9th to the 12th of March 2023.

"We are hoping that our event will be the right platform for designers. It will not only help to showcase a lot of creativity, but it will also give designers more business. "FDCI has made a significant contribution to the Indian design repertoire, and the collaboration with LFW only strengthens it," said Sunil Sethi, Chairman of the FDCI board.

The FDCI and Lakmé Fashion Week collaborated because they recognised the benefits to India's fashion industry. Last year's FDCI X LFW was a huge success, showcasing a plethora of desirable outfits.

The bunny Thomas Burberry Monogram can be found on women's, men's, and children's clothing, as well as the luxury label's signature Lola bag, accessories, and cashmere and silk scarves.

The rabbit is a key motif that runs throughout the Lunar New Year exclusive collection, including cartoon-inspired iterations, with some positioned back-to-back so that the ears form a heart shape and others sitting atop the Burberry logo.

The collection includes fleece, puffer, and varsity-style jackets embroidered, appliquéd, and printed with the Thomas Burberry Monogram and motifs commemorating the Year of the Rabbit, as well as baseball caps in white fleece adorned with rabbit ears and knitwear embellished with rabbit motifs for both men and women.

There's a matching hooded top, sweatshirt, jogging pants, knitwear, and varsity-style jacket for kids, all with playful rabbit graphics.

A fleece backpack accented with playful 3D rabbit ears and the Lola bag reinvented with black leather and white fabric iterations, both embroidered with rabbits and detailed with the Thomas Burberry Monogram, are among the accessories highlights.

Burberry has cast actors Qi Xi, Shi Pengyuan, and sportswoman Zhao Lina in a campaign shot by video director Zika Liu and photographer Sky to commemorate the collection.

As part of its new sustainability strategy, Mango has published a list of tier 3 factories.

Following the release of its tier 1 and 2 suppliers, fashion retailer Mango has become "one of the first major fashion companies in Spain" to publish its tier 3 factory list.

It is part of the company's new sustainability strategy, dubbed 'Sustainable Vision 2030,' which aims to highlight the traceability and transparency of its value chain.

The tier 3 list includes the brand's fabric and fitting suppliers, revealing their names, addresses, number of employees, and the type of product they provide.

The list was compiled in accordance with the requirements of the Transparency Pledge Standard, an initiative aimed at increasing transparency in fashion supply chains, according to a press release from Mango.

Mango stated in the publications that it will continue the process of auditing its suppliers and ensuring that appropriate working conditions are met for its employees.

Turkey, China, and India are at the forefront.

At the end of 2022, the brand reported that it had 2,400 factories worldwide that were classified as tier 1, 2, or 3.

Turkey had the most factories, with 663, followed by China (651), India (214), Spain (169), and Italy (150).

The move is linked to the third pillar of Mango's strategy, which is centred on traceability, and it joins other similar value chain-based initiatives, including a number of social action projects that the company is planning in the coming years.

These include "traceable" collaborations with organisations such as the Spanish Red Cross and Save the Children, as well as training projects aimed at improving access to education for children and women in countries such as India and Pakistan.

Meanwhile, in Europe, Mango announced that it would strengthen ties with universities in order to increase the insertion of young people into the labour force.
