Gracing the occasion, young and vibrant Nishka Lulla said, “GetNatty.com is a very distinctive e-commerce website that equally focuses on designers and customers. The brand’s DNA and aesthetics provide budding fashion entrepreneurs a great platform and the required infrastructure to build their brand. When I discovered the services that GetNatty.com provides to designers, it made me nostalgic and reminded me of my old struggle days. People perceive fashion designing as a glamorous profession but very few understand the real challenges. GetNatty.com is a great initiative that educates and helps many young designers who have limited knowledge about the business of fashion. Talking about consumers, today they believe in the philosophy of “See Now, Buy Now” since they can access the global social media community which makes multi channel platforms like GetNatty.com need of the hour.”

Kaizad Hansotia, the 30 year old founder of GetNatty.com says, “The fashion landscape in India is constantly evolving with over 1 million fashion designers and countless aspiring entrepreneurs. Despite of this, today the industry lacks a supportive ecosystem to encourage the potential of these highly creative designers. GetNatty.com was launched to provide talented fashion designers who bring new ideas to the fore,  the required infrastructure and opportunity to build their brand. We are happy to debut GetNatty through this Pret-A-Portea that unites key stakeholders from the fashion sphere. It enables the fashion community and consumers to access merchandise crafted by over 100+ talented fashion designers who have not been recognised for their work. This was the first of many such impressive fashion events that GetNatty.com plans to host for celebrating the spirit of entrepreneurship and for encouraging the next generation of discerning consumers.”
