Around twenty-three companies have come on their own too for showcasing their apparels. The Indian Pavilion was Inaugurated by the Consul General of India Dr Aman Puri.

As a primarily "trade only" event, and a B2B platform, IATF provides a professional and conducive atmosphere for business and networking. The event has been designed as a quality exhibition for the fashion business in the UAE, in response to the need for a dedicated trade exhibition in Dubai. With its 15th edition, the IATF aims to continue to be a major influence in the fashion industry and provide a platform for industry professionals to connect and showcase their products.
