This season CFW Resort kicks off its anticipated runway shows at the charming Jetwing Lighthouse. A testament to the work of legendary architect Geoffrey Bawa, the Jetwing Lighthouse exudes an old world charm of elegance and minimalism. Known as the ultimate tropical retreat, Jetwing Lighthouse will provide a sophisticated setting for the display of some of Sri Lanka’s most promising design talent.
Commenting on the partnership, Jetwing Hotels Chairman Hiran Cooray stated: “Once again, Jetwing Lighthouse is proud to be the Official Host Partner of Colombo Fashion Week Resort, returning triumphantly to the vibrant and historic environs of Galle. Inspired by the rich history of this world famous city, Geoffrey Bawa’s masterpiece will be the perfect space in which talent astounds and creativity blazes. We look forward to the greatest resort show yet, and wish Ajai and his team all the very best.”
CFW will also showcase the fort, now buzzing with restaurants, cafés and retail boutiques, by presenting CFW Fashion+Food and CFW Retail Walk to provide an unparalleled culinary and shopping experience during the week of the shows (27 September to 4 October).
