Fashion Brunch Creative Director Anisha Vasani said: ‘I was overwhelmed with the success of the return of the Fashion Brunch, showcasing couture fashion brands on our fabulous Catwalk, fine food by Madhu’s and a chance to celebrate women.

"I wanted to create a platform to celebrate both aspiring and established leading suppliers of the Asian wedding industry and to create a social networking event to inspire and empower the 155 incredibly iconic women all under one roof, marking history- It was an exceptional moment!’

Tasha Tah said: "It was an inspiring and motivational event. It was wonderful to see so many beautiful and talented strong women coming together to support one another on International Women’s Day. We need to celebrate more events like this."
