Dhaka: A five-day exhibition of branded clothing lines and fashion products will begin on Wednesday at Emmanuell’s Banquet Hall at Gulshan-1 in Dhaka.

Over 45 companies from home and abroad will take part in the exhibition, titled 5th Bangladesh Fashion Carnival 2015, the fifth of its kind, and it will continue till 30 August.

Redcarpet365 Ltd and Freelancerz, an event management firm, is organising the event with the theme ‘Do Your Eid Shopping with Us.’

‘We’re expecting a good number of visitors from entire South Asia in the fashion carnival,’ said Ahmed Imtiaz, an organiser.

Referring to the most important features of the carnival, he said it would create an opportunity for both local and foreign participants to display their latest development and quality of products before potential buyers, resulting in business transactions worth millions.

Organisers hoped that the exhibition will encourage local manufacturers and producers to export their goods in foreign markets, giving a big boost to the country’s export earnings.

A big range of quality products will be put on display in the fashion carnival, they said.

The products include clothing (women), saris, fashion wear, home textile, Kurtas, Original Lawns, premium clothing, salwar-kameez sets, three-pieces sets, shawls, beauty aids, beauty products and equipment, fashion house, gift and novelty items and other services.

The expo will remain open to general and trade visitors from 10:00am to 9:30pm from 26 August to 30.
