Fashion education today is increasingly being measured by the opportunities it creates beyond the classroom. Reflecting this industry-first approach, NIF Global Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar hosted its F&I Fashion Show 2026, bringing together students, fashion professionals, parents, alumni, faculty members, media representatives and social media influencers for one of Gujarat's largest student-led fashion showcases.

Leading the initiative was Vishal Makwana, Fashion Entrepreneur and Director of NIF Global Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, who has over 16 years of experience in the fashion industry and fashion education. Having successfully directed and curated more than 25 fashion shows, Makwana has consistently focused on creating professional platforms that bridge the gap between academic learning and the global fashion industry.
