FashionForward 2025: A Grand Celebration of Creativity, Culture, and Sustainable Innovation

Kathmandu University recently hosted FashionForward 2025, an event that seamlessly blended fashion, business, and culture. Organized under Aarambha, the annual event of the Business Information Systems students, FashionForward 2025 redefined the traditional fashion show by offering a platform that transcended the glitz and glamour of the runway, showcasing the powerful intersections of creativity, commerce, and sustainability. This unique celebration brought together an eclectic mix of emerging designers, talented models, industry leaders, and cultural performers to present Nepal’s fashion industry’s vibrant, evolving landscape.

The theme of FashionForward 2025, “From What If to Why Not,” encouraged attendees and designers alike to break free from conventional thinking and embrace bold, innovative possibilities. It was a call to move beyond hesitation and challenge the status quo, asking, “Why not reimagine the future of fashion?” This powerful theme inspired the collections, performances, and discussions throughout the event, reminding everyone that the fashion industry’s potential is limitless, driven by curiosity and a fearless pursuit of change.

FashionForward 2025 was designed not only as a grand showcase of talent but also as a business-driven event that facilitated networking, trendsetting, and future opportunities. Young and emerging designers used this event to introduce their collections to potential buyers, investors, and key figures in the fashion world. The event highlighted how fashion is an ever-evolving industry that merges creativity with commerce and sustainability, proving that innovation in fashion can open new avenues for young professionals and entrepreneurs in Nepal.
