Noida, India: The rich cultural tapestry of Peru was brilliantly showcased by designer Aadhya Goel during Day 1, 1st Show, Sequence 8 at the prestigious 10th Global Fashion and Design Week Noida 2026, held at Marwah Studios, Film City, Noida. Organized in association with the AAFT School of Fashion and Design and the AAFT School of Interior Design, the event continues to serve as a global platform celebrating creativity, heritage, and innovation.
Drawing deep inspiration from Peru’s vibrant traditions and the legacy of the Inca civilization, the collection paid homage to the country’s rich craftsmanship and strong connection to nature. Intricate geometric patterns, reminiscent of traditional Peruvian textiles, were seamlessly blended with bold color palettes. Earthy tones harmonized with bright, lively hues—symbolizing the diverse landscapes of Peru, from majestic mountains to bustling local markets.
The use of natural fabrics, layered silhouettes, and handcrafted detailing reflected the essence of indigenous artistry, creating a powerful fusion of tradition and contemporary fashion. Each ensemble stood as a tribute to Peru’s cultural identity—timeless, expressive, and deeply rooted in heritage.
Addressing the audience, Dr. Sandeep Marwah, President, AAFT, emphasized the significance of international platforms like Global Fashion & Design Week in promoting cultural exchange and creative unity among nations.
