Govt. is the Big Daddy of Fashion!
Textiles Ministry sets up council to promote fashion and unite Delhi and Mumbai fashion bodies.
It was inaugurated by Union Textiles Minister Shankersinh Waghela in Delhi on Tuesday with hospitality expert Vijay K Singh as its CEO and fashion designer Raghavendra Rathore as the VP. So what happens to the Delhi-based Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) and Mumbai���s Lakme Fashion Week (LFW), those two bastions of fashion in the country? Will the government���s FDPC do them in?
No, said Vijay Singh, ���We intend to unify the fashion bodies and eventually execute a single fashion week.
Designers and fashion students have welcomed the FDPC and see it as a silver lining during these times of global meltdown.
Meanwhile, designer Raghavendra Rathore is gung-ho about the government���s initiative and said, ���Fashion is not even considered an industry officially like textiles and handloom. Once it gets the official stamp of an industry, the fashion world will benefit with government funding.��� On the cards is a dialogue between the Indian government and Milan Fashion Week representatives. ���Once the programme becomes reciprocal, FDPC will fund chosen Indian designers��� participation there,��� said Vijay Singh optimistically.
