Asia magazine – Fashion Avenue Quarterly. New international fashion magazine launches.
A new publication claiming to be “the first and the only international Asian fashion magazine” has launched in the UK.
The magazine known as FAQ (Fashion Avenue Quarterly) is promoted as being the first magazine that celebrates and promotes haute couture from India, the Middle East, Pakistan and the UK, in one
Founded in 2003, Lahore, Pakistan, FAQ is the brainchild of dynamic duo Tahir and Yasir Saeed. Together they took the publishing world by storm and within a year of launching, FAQ was at pole position amongst its competitors
“There is no magazine in the current market that amalgamates haute couture from India, Pakistan, the Middle East and the UK. All the people featured in FAQ are either from those regions or are designing and working within them. There is so much to express and Asian/Middle Eastern designers have come a long way – FAQ wants to celebrate them.”
India News – Bollywood is – Fashion – is Bollywood. These days, Bollywood is all about fashion, and fashion is all about Bollywood
In India, Bollywood and fashion are very very important for each other today, both can’t do without each other. Years ago, it wasn’t so and both were doing well without each other
Years ago people weren’t so fashion conscious as much as they are today. Plus you can’t ignore Bollywood presence anywhere today. That makes a lot of difference. Does Bollywood add to the popularity of the fash frat? It does.
If an actor casually walks the ramp as a model, nothing like it. What about the chances of a star presence stealing the show? That does happen at times, unintentionally though. A designer always wants to highlight his designs and get some media attention through that, but eventually, all the attention shifts towards the star (Source: Times of India)

LFW Winter 2010 season has seen an unprecedented increase this time, with 172 Gen Next applications, marking a growth of 81% and 92 emerging designer applications recording a hike of 44% as compared to last season.
“We are pleased with the overwhelming response received for this season. In the first decade, LFW introduced the Gen Next and emerging designer platform with the vision of bringing to the forefront great minds and encouraging new talent,” Lakme, Advisor, Anil Chopra said.
LFW,that is scheduled to start from September 17 to 21 has been receiving application from 34 cities both metros and non-metros including Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Surat, Ludhiana, Udaipur, Kochi and Rishikesh among others.
“In many established names the fashion journey of many Gennext begins with this platform. LFW will continue to be the leader in investing and supporting young talent as they shape the future of Indian fashion trade,” IMG India, vice-president and Head of Fashion, Sujal Shah said.
LFW Winter and Festive 2010 season will weave in the importance of Indian festivals and the fashion that is prevalent in Indian society during the coming months.
LFW is jointly organised by Lakme, the leader in cosmetics and beauty services brand in India and IMG, the global leader in fashion weeks and event production.
India Delhi Couture Week. High Fashion Drama. The high fashion fever is yet to grip the Capital even as the date of the first Delhi Couture Week is approaching fast. There are many good things that are attached to this high fashion week, with promises being made by many designers that it won’t just be a bridal week, but a week where designers also will showcase creativity
For instance, I was told that choreography can be done in a liberal fashion and the FDCI will foot the bill for making the shows extra glamorous. Designers, on their part, are busy stitching their garments
While most people associated with fashion are part of this event, there are some eminent people, like hair and makeup expert Ambika Pillai for instance, not being part of the event. Mac seems to be the flavour of the season for FDCI for its first couture week. Now, I have not been able to confirm this, but if its true, I’d say it’s unfair.
I do understand it is the prerogative of FDCI to decide as to who should do what at the Week. But Ambika, who has been part of fashion weeks right from its inception, who has worked very loyally and passionately for Indian fashion, not being part of the event, I thought was rather disheartening. I am sure Ambika endorses all good brands including Mac. In this scenario, even from the brand’s side, it was not fair to edge Ambika out

The Iranian regime’s latest attempt to purge the vestiges of the Green Movement from the hearts of dissatisfied Iranian youth strikes directly at the kids’ unfortunately frosted tips
Yes, the Iranian Culture Ministry has released grooming guidelines in order to guide wayward youth against looking un-Islamic. It’s easy to joke about the absurdity of the measure
But there are state-run militias designed to enforce “virtue” — that is, conformity — in Iran, so it’s no joke to the millions of people who have to live under a government measures the height of a pompadour in thermal degrees of hellfire
Similarly, in 2005, North Korea applied the secular equivalent, crafting an instructional module titled, “Let Us Trim Our Hair In Accordance With Socialist Lifestyle.”
