Catwalk, of & by the govt Fashion show finale for handloom fair (The Telegraph)

Posted: 17 Sep 2009 02:08 PM PDT

What does a government struggling to organise land for industry and votes for elections do? It organises a fashion show, instead.

On a day when the chief minister nearly lost his chair (at a press conference to announce new plots for Infosys and Wipro), two of his so-called young guns were busy booking a front-row seat for a ramp romp to promote the traditional khadi and handloom industry of the state.

At Writers Buildings on Thursday, state textiles minister Manabendra Mukherjee and former CPM MP and now West Bengal Khadi and Village Industries Commission chairman Mohd Salim unveiled the September 19 fashion show at Milan Mela.

It will be a first-of-its-kind show, crowed Mukherjee, before spelling out what there would be six top female and four top male models from Mumbai and Calcutta, and Tollywood actress Locket Chatterjee as showstopper and what there wouldnt be Vasundhara Raje on the ramp (she had walked for the Rajasthan Khadi and Gramodyog Board in Jaipur) or a wardrobe malfunction.

The two-hour show, to be organised in collaboration with the West Bengal Khadi & Village Industries Board and supported by the likes of Tantuja and Manjusa, will mark the closing of Banglar Taanter Haat on Saturday, the fair that Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee had visited straight from the airport after arriving from Siliguri on Saturday.

If models will be seen sashaying down the ramp in traditional and diversified khadi and handloom, Locket is set to strike a pose in a kantha sari with khadi weave. I received a call from Mohd Salim asking me to be the showstopper for a fashion event. Im not sure what Im supposed to wear, but itll have a khadi focus, she told Metro.

Prosenjit was flashed like a trump card by M/S Mukherjee and Salim on Thursday as the distinguished guest at the fashion event.

Yes, Manab Mukherjee called me and asked if I could drop by at the fashion show. I havent confirmed yet, but I will go if I am free, the Tollywood star told Metro.

No distinguished guest is likely to turn up if he goes through the invitation letter sent out by the West Bengal Khadi & Village Industries Board. Sample this (we reproduce this ad verbatim): The fashion show would contain cat walk and demonstration by different expert group of models, both male female...

The director duo of the cat walk, however, are not to be denied their two minutes of glam glory. Our products must reach a big and discerning clientele, stressed Mukherjee.

His event manager partner Salim got into the act with a not-so-veiled reference to the popular Kolkata Fashion Week held last week with the likes of Ritu Kumar and Manish Malhotra as designers and Giselle Monteiro and Neil Nitin Mukesh as showstoppers. Ours will be a different show, away from the plush corridors and banquet halls of hotels. It will be in a haat.

But why must the government get into the greenroom act of organising a fashion show? Mukherjee said: It is the need of the hour to diversify the use of these textiles.

And, maybe, to diversify the skill sets of CPM leaders.

Yes, minister?

Fashion show to bring sparkle to Main Street (The Nashua Telegraph)

NASHUA – Scontsas Fine Jewelry and Fresh of Nashua have teamed up to host a fashion show to benefit Ovations for the Cure of Ovarian Cancer. The fashionable event will take place at Saffron Bistro, 80 Main St., on Sunday at 6 p.m.

Cheryl Plunkett, owner of Fresh of Nashua, along with Philip and Amalia Scontsas of Scontsas Fine Jewelry wanted to bring some fashion fun and excitement to downtown Nashua in September.

"Over the past few years, diamonds have become an important part of most women's casual wardrobes," said Philip Scontsas. "We've loved the chic, yet casual style that Fresh has brought to Main Street since the store opened last year. Since many of our customers also shop at Fresh, we thought it would be fun to team up to bring something different to downtown Nashua and to help a worthy cause."

With September being Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, the Scontsases and Plunkett decided to use the fashion show to support Ovations for the Cure of Ovarian Cancer. All proceeds from the From Denim to Diamonds ticket sales will be donated to the organization.

"We are thrilled that some of our downtown neighbors, including Fortin Gage flowers and gifts, Studio Mark Emile, Salon Apryl, Aesthetics by Valerie Skincare and Wellness Studio and the Nashua Bank, are all providing such strong sponsorship support to ensure that this event is a big success," Plunkett said.

Tickets are $50 and include admission to the fashion show, entry to raffles, opportunity to participate in a silent auction and hors d'oeuvres from Saffron Bistro. Tickets can be purchased at Scontsas Fine Jewelry and Fresh of Nashua.

For more information, call Scontsas Fine Jewelry at 882-3281 or Fresh of Nashua at 821-9888. For more information about Ovations for the Cure of Ovarian Cancer, visit www.ovationsforthecure.org.
