Over 700 multi-brand outlets (MBO) and retail chain stores attended the 10th edition of a trade fair organised by the Apparel Manufacturers of India (AMI) in Chennai. About 111 brands participated in the event to showcase their upcoming spring summer 2017 collections. Orders worth more than Rs 500 million were placed at the show, organiser sources said.

A group of leading apparel manufacturers and traders participated in the three-day event where major manufacturers and traders of readymade and unstitched garments of men, women and kids were also present.

“We are very glad with the response we have received at our fair this time in Chennai. We had nearly 700 MBOs and retail chain stores attending our event and discussing the industry growth trends. We look forward to organise a garment conclave at a much higher scale and take the trade fairs across different cities. We want AMI to be a platform where members act as catalyst for each other’s growth,” Nikhil Furia, an organiser, said.
