Where vision becomes legacy, and fashion becomes a global force.
When Payal Mandewalkar launched her first solo production, Global Fashion Week®️, by Invogue Talent Agency, she didn’t introduce just another fashion platform—she established a new global standard.
Debuting in 2025, Global Fashion Week®️, a registered trademark in the United States, made history in Houston, Texas, positioning the city as a rising international fashion capital. Featuring 12+ international designers and 80+ runway models, the inaugural edition delivered an editorially refined experience that merged high fashion, cultural storytelling, and global purpose.
A Vision Produced, Not Borrowed
As Producer and CEO of Invogue Talent Agency, Payal Mandewalkar curated every element of Global Fashion Week®️ with intention and originality—ensuring it stood apart as inclusive, authentic, and globally relevant.
Fashion With Impact
At its core, Global Fashion Week®️ 2025 was purpose-driven, proudly supporting two charitable causes. Philanthropy was seamlessly woven into the runway, redefining luxury as conscious contribution and elevating glamour into impact.
Honoring Women Who Lead
One of the evening’s most powerful moments was the Women Empowerment Award, honoring influential women across fashion, business, media, and community leadership.
The recognition reflected Payal Mandewalkar’s own journey—visionary, resilient, and deeply committed to empowering others.
Creating the Future of Fashion
The launch of the Top Model of the Year 2025–2026 Competition further positioned Global Fashion Week®️ as a global talent incubator, offering emerging models mentorship, international exposure, and career-defining opportunities through the Invogue platform.
PRIKA: A Global Identity
During the week, Payal Mandewalkar also unveiled PRIKA, her Indo-Western fashioncollection. Fusing modern silhouettes with cultural elegance, PRIKA echoed the veryspirit of Global Fashion Week®️—heritage-forward, world-ready, and globallyrelevant.
A Global Stage, A Lasting Legacy With dignitaries, designers, media leaders, influencers, and industry icons in attendance, Global Fashion Week®️ 2025 marked a defining moment—not only for Houston, but for the global fashion industry.
Under Payal Mandewalkar’s leadership, Global Fashion Week®️ is more than an event.
It is a movement.
Produced with vision.
Driven by purpose.
Protected by legacy.
And this is only the beginning.
