In 2002, famous fabrics brand Bexi Fabrics joined hands with the fortnightly for arranging the fashion show.With the passage of time, yet another Eid is knocking on the door. To anyone, it is an occasion to celebrate in trendy attire. Like every year, the local fashion houses have been busy displaying their Eid collection.

Chief Editor of Anyadin Masum Rahman opened the evening with his welcome speech.  “We have been arranging fashion shows on the occasion of Eid for the last 15 years. Now, we are looking forward to expand its edge,” he said. “For the first time, the fashion show is deviated from competition to only presenting the prominent fashion houses and their products ahead of Eid,” he added.
Faridur Reza Sagar, managing director of Channel i, also spoke at the programme. He stressed the need for government patronage for local fashion houses.
At the event, the organisers honoured Abdul Mannan, a weaver (Tanti) from Sirajganj, with the Lifetime Achievement Award for his contribution to weaving industry.

The featured performers of the evening were Arfin Rumey, Maksud, Shaon and Mila.
