Mumbai, October, 2025 – Reliance Brands Limited (RBL) successfully hosted the inaugural edition of Front Row Weekend (FRW), a ground-breaking luxury experiential platform that unfolded across India’s most iconic retail destinations—Jio World Plaza and Phoenix Palladium in Mumbai, and DLF Emporio in Delhi.
Designed as a multi-location, invitation-only showcase, Front Row Weekend offered a select cohort of India’s top luxury clients first-access previews of global fashion collections, launched simultaneously with their international debuts, alongside exclusive Diwali capsule editions in India. The event reaffirmed RBL’s vision of positioning India at the forefront of fashion discovery—on par with Milan, Paris, and New York.
Unlike traditional showcases, Front Row Weekend was strictly by invitation, with only 100 guests per city, handpicked from RBL’s luxury database—India’s most valuable cohort of verified luxury shoppers, who spend nearly 3x more than their peers.
GALA NIGHT – “THE FIRST LOOK”: A Cinematic Prelude
The weekend began with an intimate, high-glamour Gala Night, setting a celebratory tone for the weekend ahead. On 8th October, Mumbai’s Jio World Plaza hosted notable HNI clients and KOLs for an evening marked by a live saxophone performance, exquisite tablescaping, and a sit-down five-course dinner. The following evening, 9th October, Delhi’s DLF Emporio welcomed its own distinguished gathering of HNI clients and KOLs, featuring a captivating sitar and piano performance, along with a sit-down five-course dinner.
A bold dress code – Black with a Twist – was the theme of the exquisite soirees, encouraging personal expression. This mood-driven, cinematic preview striped away all commercial intent and repositioned luxury as a cultural moment.
Among those in attendance were Mouni Roy, Bianca Contractor, Aarti Surendranath, Kshiraja Surendranath, Jaanam Advani, Tinu Advani, Mozez Singh, Sawan Gandhi, Sagar Gandhi, and Sanaya Irani, joining an exclusive circle of fashion insiders and RBL’s most valued clients across Mumbai’s Jio World Plaza and Delhi’s DLF Emporio.
