Yet Another Fashion Week

Fashion seems to be everywhere we look these days. From the tiny, unknown lanes to the upscale luxury malls. It seems to be defining the way we look at people. We are increasingly becoming habitual of checking to see what the person is wearing, what bag is it or if the outfit was repeated before.

While all of this could mostly lead to something good - more business for the industry, there are somethings which could hurt in places where it hurts!

Take the case of the multiple fashion weeks in the country for example. We have the main bigger events - Lakme & Wills and now there is a Kolkata Fashion Week, Ahemdabad Fashion Week, Pune Fashion Week, Bangalore Fashion Week, Chennai Fashion Week and now an International Fashion Week!

While these will certainly provide a lot of oppurtunity to all those who want to show their creativity and talent, these events will also encourage enough of riff-raff to be in the lime light. Where is the safety valve which checks these people into showing their garments and torturing others in return? Maybe the IPC should now institute a new law which will put such creatures of bad taste behind bars!

Then ofcourse there is the case of what image of India do we represent to the world? With so many multiple events, how dot he buyers choose? Who do they choose? These multitude of events only end up creating chaos and confusion.

And even as I stop myself from going to yet another fashion week, I know I will be reading about it and wondering where does it stop? SIGH!
