The Indian fashion industry has become a growing industry with international events such as the India Fashion Week and annual shows by fashion designers being held across major cities of the country.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Cover Story: Global Design for Indian Fashion|journal=Markathon|year=2012|volume=3|issue=10|url=http://web.mit.edu/hauser/www/Hauser%20Articles%205.3.12/Hauser%20Interview%20Markathon%20April%202012.pdf}}</ref><br />

In 2016–2017 the event was sponsored by Amazon Fashion India and thus the name was updated to Amazon Fashion week. <br />
<br />
Most recently, Lotus Make-Up India has partnered with FDCI to be part of the event. It is now referred to as Lotus Make-Up India Fashion week. <br />
<br />
In all its years it has maintained its space on the top for big Delhi designers to showcase their collections every season. It has through the years worked on different formats, i.e: most recently it shared its space with Lovely Professional University, where they opened their door to students to showcase their talent.<br />
<br />
Over the years, many socialites have graced the ramp for designers and a few actors and actresses, too.<br />
