BusinessWire India
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 17: Timex takes the fashion quotient a notch higher with Timex India Beach Fashion Week (TIBFW), an influential showcase dedicated to beach and resort wear, celebrating its landmark 11th edition with unmatched grandeur at the Hilton Goa Resort. Over two days, the event turned into a spectacular celebration of creativity, glamour, and craftsmanship, culminating in a show-stopping Timex Grand Finale by Abhishek Sharma, which truly stole the spotlight.
Conceptualized around the Timex campaign, Analog Life - Make Time Yours, the TIBFW theme "Live Analog Breathe Beach" was a poetic celebration of slowing down in a world driven by speed, embracing slow fashion, intentional design, and the art of being present. It was a tribute to craftsmanship and timeless style, where every piece was more than fashion; it was philosophy.
The weekend reached its pinnacle with Timex X Abhishek Sharma's Analog Life collection presented in full glory. The TIBFW runway became a breathtaking tableau of storytelling for the grand finale, featuring a spectacle of movements as a thousand Timex watches intricately linked together, glowing under warm amber lighting formed a chandelier. This was more than decor; it was a metaphor for life's moments, connected yet unique, reminding the audience that true fashion, like time, is experienced in real moments.
Abhishek Sharma's designs with flowing silhouettes met structured tailoring, delicate embellishments shimmered like the faces of watches, and metallic accents mirrored the subtle sheen of Timex timepieces. Some outfits incorporated actual watches, fused into garments with meticulous craftsmanship, creating wearable art that celebrated the tactile, tangible aspects of design. From airy resort dresses to elegantly sculpted separates, each look spoke of slow fashion, where every stitch, fold, and detail mattered.
The show's crescendo arrived with showstopper Prathamesh Maunglinkar, who embodied the collection's ethos with poise and charisma. The finale perfectly encapsulated the union of fashion, craftsmanship, and the analog spirit, reminding us that in a fast-moving world, fashion is at its most profound when experienced deliberately and intentionally.
Speaking on the occasion, Deepak Chhabra, Managing Director, Timex India, shared, "At Timex, we've always believed that fashion and time are deeply connected as both are powerful forms of self-expression.
