About Us

The people, the passion and the purpose behind Maharashtra's most talked-about fashion week.

Where creativity takes the runway

Maharashtra Times Runaway Fashion Week was born from a belief that Maharashtra's design talent deserves a stage as bold as its imagination. What began as a single showcase has grown into a full season of runway shows, model hunts, designer meets and workshops — leading up to the grand finale, Designer Verse.

Presented by Maharashtra Times and hosted in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, the event brings established couturiers and first-time designers, experienced models and fresh faces together on one runway.

Our mission is to open doors — for anyone with the talent and the courage to be seen.
