The Fashion Design Council of Bangladesh (FDCB), a not-for-profit organisation promoting sustainable fashion and artisanal craftsmanship to revive Bangladeshi heritage, hosted its highly anticipated FDCB Bangladesh Fashion Week 2023 on 16 and 17 March 2023, at Aloki Convention Centre in Tejgaon, Dhaka.
