ARKA Fashion Week

Welcome to ARKA Fashion Week AW 23!

Join us from October 26th to 28th, 2023, as we celebrate the vibrant spirit of Bangladeshi fashion at Aloki. Our event serves as a dedicated platform, spotlighting local brands and designers, especially those deserving wider recognition. Embracing inclusivity and creativity, ARKA Fashion Week embodies Bangladesh's evolution from a garments hub to a nurturing ground for pioneering fashion trends.

About the Event:

Indulge in a 3-day extravaganza, immersing yourself in the following six captivating facets of our festival:

1. Marketplace: Hosting 40-50 participants, it prioritizes local, small-scale designers, e-commerce brands, and sustainable fashion—particularly those utilizing upcycled materials.
2. Fashion Shows: Spanning two days with 8 unique shows, it emphasizes youth, experimentalism, and sustainability. The event will not just promote traditional couture but will spotlight designs blending Bangladeshi culture with Western fashion influences.
3. Concerts: Each night culminates with varied musical performances, ensuring a holistic experience.
4. Design Lab: An interactive arena for attendees to personalize apparel using various design techniques like block printing, hand-painting, and embroidery.
5. Food Hall: Beyond a regular food court, it offers an eclectic mix of cuisines in a relaxed ambiance.
6. Art Gallery: Transcending a traditional gallery, it delves into Bangladesh's journey from 'analogue' (traditional) to 'digital' (modern) through the works of six artists.

Day 1 Thursday, October 26th: Meghdol & Smooches

Day 2 Friday, October 27th: Joler Gaan
