Ankush Anami – A Visionary Leader Redefining Fashion Through World Designing Forum

In today’s fast-changing world, fashion is not just about clothes, it is about identity, expression, and connection. Few leaders have understood this more deeply than Ankush Anami, CEO of the World Designing Forum (WDF). In a remarkably short span of time, Ankush has built a thriving community of 20,000+ designers, models, and fashion enthusiasts. His vision is clear: fashion is not limited to the runway; it touches our everyday lives, shapes the way we interact with society, and plays a vital role in how we perceive ourselves.

Fashion as a Bridge Between Generations

Ankush often says that fashion is more than trends, it is a bridge between generations. His perspective is simple yet powerful: what we wear reflects our times, but it also carries the essence of tradition. Consider India’s story, our country has always been a global hub of fashion. From the flowing silks of Banaras to the intricate handlooms of the Northeast, Indian artisans have created timeless works that continue to inspire the world. When a grandmother drapes a saree and her granddaughter styles it with a modern twist, it is not just fashion; it is continuity, culture, and creativity woven together.

Artisans: The Soul of Indian Fashion

Ankush firmly believes that our artisans are the true soul of Indian fashion. Their handwork does not just stay within local markets; it makes a global impact, telling the world about India’s cultural depth and craftsmanship. He applauds the dedication and skill of handloom workers, weavers, and designers who keep traditions alive while blending them with modern needs. According to him, in the age of fast fashion, the patience and creativity of Indian artisans remain unmatched treasures.

This vision was beautifully highlighted at the National Handloom Day event organized in Goa, which Samvaad Connect had the privilege of covering recently. The energy, innovation, and spirit of the event reflected Ankush’s leadership, encouraging designers to honor their roots while also thinking globally.

World Designing Forum: A One-Stop Solution for Fashion Needs

Under Ankush’s leadership, the World Designing Forum is steadily becoming a one-stop solution for all fashion needs. From networking opportunities to showcasing platforms, WDF creates bridges between designers, brands, and enthusiasts. Whether you are an aspiring fashion student, a professional model, or a handloom entrepreneur, WDF provides an ecosystem where ideas are nurtured, and talent finds direction.

Ankush personally mentors designers with his rich experience and deep understanding of the industry. His approachable nature, combined with his strategic vision, ensures that WDF is not just an organization but a movement that encourages innovation while celebrating tradition.

Fashion and Mental Health – Confidence Through Comfort

What makes Ankush stand out as a leader is his unique ability to connect fashion with mental health and well-being. In today’s society, where social norms about body image are often harsh and unrealistic, many people struggle with accepting themselves. Ankush strongly believes that fashion can act as a soothing agent in such situations.

“When you feel comfortable and confident in your own skin and in the clothes you wear, it directly uplifts your mental health,” he emphasizes.

For him, fashion is not about blindly following trends, but about discovering what makes you feel authentic. This philosophy resonates with countless young designers and models who look up to him for guidance, not just professionally, but also personally.

National and International Recognition

Ankush’s impactful journey has been recognized through numerous national and international accolades. Each award is not just a personal achievement but also a testimony to his commitment to nurturing the fashion industry. His story is an inspiration for those who believe that with vision, dedication, and the right community, dreams can indeed be transformed into reality.

From collaborations to mentorship, from cultural exchanges to modern business strategies, WDF is designed to be the platform that empowers creativity and drives growth.

“Fashion is about making yourself comfortable, confident, and proud of your identity. When you feel that, you are not just dressed, you are empowered.”– he added to our conversation.
