Representing independent designers looking to make way into the US market, Tranoi featured eighty European, Asian and American designers ranging from ready-to-wear to shoes and accessories. All of the collections shown not only represented the entrepreneurial spirit of the designers, but also the extensive levels of innovation and creativity that they bred.

Although the innovation in design reigned rampant throughout the show, there was a base in functionality amongst them all. There was also an adamant focus on sustainability and ethics, most notably in New York-based womenswear design house Behno, translated in English as “my sister,” founded in 2011 by founder Shivam Punjya. It focuses on uplifting the standard within women’s ethics in the garment and textile industries, while committing to empowering their all-female production team.
