November 2025 | Escape, Goa: ESCAPE Goa and The AFRA World are proud to announce Cross-Continental Resort Wear Confluence, a cultural evening celebrating global fashion, contemporary craft and international creative expression. Taking place on 26 November 2025 at the iconic Escape in Goa, the showcase brings together designers from around the world, weaving together a rich cross-continental dialogue through design, textiles and couture.
Curated by Niti Gupta, Luxury & Design Alchemist, Founder & Curator of The AFRA World and spearheaded in collaboration with visionary designer Ritu Beri, the evening marks a cultural initiative by both creative forces to build bridges between global design communities.
This year’s curation highlights distinctive collections from designers and labels across Dubai, Singapore, New York, Africa, Indonesia and India, each bringing a unique interpretation of modern resort wear and global luxury aesthetics. From ease-led silhouettes to culturally grounded craftsmanship, the showcase aims to redefine contemporary resort fashion for a diverse international audience.
Speaking about the collaboration, Niti Gupta, Luxury & Design Alchemist and Founder of The AFRA World, shared: “In continuation with our vision of converging together international designers on various global platforms, our collaboration with Ritu Beri reinforces that vision as we add Escape Goa as one of our international retail stores in our itinerary, that will make international design more accessible, engaging, and culturally connected. Escape Goa felt like the perfect backdrop to bring this vision to life in this part of India.”
Set against the vibrant environment of ESCAPE’s heritage Goan villa, the event will serve as an immersive platform where attendees experience fashion as an expression of culture, craftsmanship and storytelling. The AFRA World envisions this as part of an annual showcase model that offers designers global visibility while creating a collective space for creativity and exchange.
On the collaboration and the showcase, Ritu Beri, Founder of ESCAPE Goa, said: “At ESCAPE, we believe in nurturing global creative voices and presenting fashion in its most authentic, immersive form. Our collaboration with The AFRA World brings an exciting cross-cultural dialogue to Goa, one that highlights the evolving language of modern resort wear while honouring craftsmanship from around the world.”
This edition of the confluence is supported by celebration partners – Jaisalmer Gin and Sangam Whisky who bring their craft and spirit to the cultural soirée.
