Heads up Indian fashionistas!
In 2002 it was the launch of India Fashion Week; in 2007, it was the launch of Vogue India; and just this week, it was the launch of India's first fashion controversy (see my entry, India Giver, of Sept 1).
On the heels of all this fashion focus, the Indian government has announced that it is sponsoring a new entity called the Fashion Council of India to provide a platform for budding designers to launch themselves into the global fashion industry.
At the same time, in a somewhat different vein, Indian-born celebrity fashion designer Anand Jon Alexander awaits trial in California, accused of setting up a fashion design studio in Beverly Hills to lure models and sexually assault them. He also is being investigated in NY and was recently indicted in Texas for similar offenses.
Welcome India, to all facets of the fashion world!
