Global Fashion Design Awards

Running alongside India Fashion Week London was the Global Fashion Design Awards, organised by Rupal Dalal, Managing Director at JD Institute of Fashion Technology.

The awards brought together designers, brands, and industry leaders from across the world to celebrate creativity, innovation, and design excellence.

The RC Dalal Memorial Award

Among the most prestigious honours was the RC Dalal Memorial Award – a tribute to a visionary whose legacy continues to shape fashion education and global platforms.

As a founder member of India Fashion Week London, alongside Manny Singh, RC Dalal helped build a platform rooted in ambition, creativity, and shared belief. Their bond went far beyond business – it was the bond of two brothers driven by the same dream.

Why This Platform Matters

At its core, this initiative aims to:

• Provide a global platform for recognition
  
• Celebrate innovation and exceptional talent
  
• Empower the next generation of designers

But above all, it delivers something invaluable to Jediiians – real global exposure. JD Institute of Fashion Technology continues to open doors that allow its students not just to learn design, but to live it, on the world stage.
