#BNHAF International Beach and Fashion Week connects modeling & fashion frat globally!
"As a Filmpreneur, I find gaps in the industry worldwide. In Delhi-NCR itself there are more than 100 shows a month crowning Miss India or Mrs. India - but is taking, merely a title by paying money, your calling?"
Amit R Agrwal who was invited to one of the Big '4's' of fashion weeks - New York Fashion Week in February 2023 and February 2024 says that he launched #BNHAF International Beach and Fashion Week on the insistence of few models he conducted a MasterClass with after attending NYFW 2023.
@ Vienna Fashion Week in September 2023, he finally launched #BNHAF International Beach and Fashion Week. The pre-season response was emphatic. With models from Vienna, New York, Paris, London, Philippines, Vietnam, South Korea, Brazil and India collaborating.

Agarwal spoke to a newschannel about how the 100-odd beauty-pageants have both made and broke the modeling industry in only one geo-region of India Delhi-NCR. He said that the industry is made, because the charm and the drive to be a model has seen a surge in aspirants pursuing it as a career option. It has broke the industry because almost every second aspirant claims to be a pageant winner, a title holder. "But does the title really hold good".
This gap prompted Agarwal to launch his own fashion week, where each participant will be holistically groomed. The winners will be inducted in fashion films and fashion weeks with screenings and walk during the 'Big 4' fashion weeks and at the Top-10 Film Festivals globally. The winners also get speaking opportunities over a period of 3-years at #BNHAF Awards and Festival Gala Editions.
Agarwal has already attended the top fashion weeks in the world since 2016 - New York, Paris, London, Milan, Vienna - he said he has taken the strong points of each of these fashion weeks to create a win-win situation for all participants and give them a definite set of deliverables.
