Celeb buzz: The international and Bollywood quotient at the Lakmu00e9 Fashion Week in Mumbai kept the buzz alive |
Fash bash
Back-to-back fashion weeks in Dilli and Mumbai may have brought some buzz back for the desi fash frat wracked by plunging sales in the deepening local recession. And to further gladden their hearts, usually low-key Kolkata hosted its maiden Kolkata Fashion Week organised by the Kolkata Knight Riders.

In Delhi, designers were torn between attending the recent Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW) organised by FDCI or the parallel Delhi Fashion Week organised by the breakaway Fashion Foundation of India (FFI). On the other hand the international and Bollywood quotient at the Lakmu00c3u00a9 Fashion Week in Mumbai kept the buzz alive.
