Fireflies is an organization which brings fresh aspiring talent in the world of creativity and also facilitate accessibility to established names in the field of fashion and lifestyle. This unique creative platform is headed by Sneha Tapadiya, Saloni Bhalotia, Priti Agarwal and Shillpi Goel. A hunger for creativity and perfectionism in the field of fashion and lifestyle brings the four ladies together presenting different products under one roof aiming to create a niche in the world of fashion and lifestyle and ensure the best shopping experience.
Speaking about this year’s edition, Priti Agarwal said, “Our aim has always been to create a new fashion trend in the city and to promote new designs and faces and in the process provide them with a platform. This year we have a lot of expectations from the exhibitors. People are coming to showcase their products from all over India including Jalandhar and Bikaner as well as from overseas. None of the stalls are similar everything has its own flavour and are different in their own way. The beauty of Fireflies lies in its exclusivity. It is not a commercial enterprise that keeps on popping after every few days, but rather an experience that happens only once in a year.”
