‘Fashion weeks just have entertainment value’ (Wit
New Delhi, Jan 23 (IANS) Expressing concern over the growing number of fashion weeks GUCCI Dresses, designer Rahul Mishra, who is known for his contribution to Indian handlooms and has featured in a National Geographic documentary, says most of them lack substance and have only entertainment value.
Instead, he advocates the maximum number of participants in a minimum of fashion weeks so that the desigers can remain focused.
“India has seen a tremendous growth in terms of fashion market in the last 10-15 years and (the major) fashion weeks have played an immense role in this success story. No one can deny the importance of (the major) fashion weeks in any context. But I feel there are too many fashion weeks happening in India today and unfortunately most of them have just entertainment value and lack substance,” the 31-year-old told IANS.
The designer started his journey with Lakme Fashion Week in 2006. Since then, he has successfully showcased his collection at several fashion galas, including the bi-annual Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week organised by the Fashion Development Council of India (FDCI).
Apart from these two major events, India, in the past few years, has witnessed a sudden rise in fashion weeks, what with the Chennai Fashion Week, the Bangalore Fashion Week, the Hyderabad Fashion Week, the Kolkata Fashion Week, the India International Fashion Week, the Jaipur Fashion Week, the Pune Fashion Week, the India International Jewellery Week and this year, the India Resost Fashion Week and India Kids Fashion Week.
On one hand, he is unhappy with many fashion weeks happening in different parts of India and on the other hand he feels the fashion industry is completely dependent on the major fashion weeks so these need to be strengthened with greater participation.
“I am a find of the Lakme Fashion Week. I am completely aware of the importance of the (major) fashion weeks in India. The Indian fashion industry is completely dependent on the fashion weeks…fashion weeks are also our window for the rest of the world. That’s why I feel it is very essential for all of us to make fashion weeks stronger by participation to the best of our capabilities,” he added.
Mishra is known for his contribution to Indian handloom textiles. Recently, a documentary film on handlooms of India Ed hardy Dresses, made for National Geographic profiled his philosophy and work.
This documentary, made in collaboration with Unesco and the ministry of textiles, explores the rich world of India’s weavers and their magical creations through the eyes of Mishra as he is dedicated to the cause of exploring Indian weaves in the world of high fashion.
He feels Indian handlooms are not given due recognition in the country.
“India is a vast country and the handloom-dependent population in our country is massive. The condition of craftsmen and weavers is India is not very good. The handloom consumption has been on decline but it is poised for growth in the luxury segment. That is the way forward.
“We cannot keep placing handloom fabrics to compete with mass produced Chinese imports. With proper design intervention, I am trying to create a sustainable system to create a market for handlooms,” he said.
Mumbai-based Mishra recently launched his ‘Jaama’ Indian wear collection in the capital at multi-designer store Ogaan.
“I was planning the collection for a long time. The Indian market is flooded with Indian outfits and I wanted to create a very unique look. So it took a lot of research and weaving exploration to be able to conceive it. The collection signifies the attire of great Mughals and is inspired by the opulent domes of the Islamic art and architecture,” he said while explaining the concept behind the collection.
Next on his agenda is an accessories line.
“I am extending my brand into accessories like handbags. I will be doing a very high quality bespoke limited edition range. I am also working on a few collaborations with big corporates. I am also working on idea of creating a very affordable premium mass brand. We will be working on reviving more crafts from different parts of India in coming season,” he said.

New angiography technique a boon for many
Mumbai, Feb 3 (IANS) At 55, Ratnesh Shah was suffering from frequent chest pain and was advised a coronary angiography — which involves opening up blocked vessels. Unfortunately, both his femoral (groin) arteries were closed because of a vascular disease.
His radial (wrist) arteries were also calcified and had lesser capacity to bear with an incision, with tests showing that nothing wider than 1.7 mm could enter the arteries.
Thus, it was difficult for him to undergo angiography, in which a tube (called sheath) and another smaller tube (catheter), together measuring at least 2.8 mm, are inserted in the arteries.
It was then that Shah came to know about a new technique called “sheathless” angiography, which is also less painful.
“Not everyone is in a position to undergo angiography, which can be painful owing to the size of insertion required in the arteries,” Narayan Gadkar, a doctor from Jupiter Hospital in Thane, near Mumbai, who started performing the new procedure in 2010, told IANS.
In sheathless angiography, the catheter is directly introduced in the arteries.
Gadkar, among the pioneers of the technique, has done nearly 400 sheathless angiography tests so far, but the procedure is still not well known.
“Angiography is a medical imaging technique used to visualise the inside or lumen of blood vessels and organs of the body with a particular interest in the arteries, veins and the heart chambers. A pipe-like object known as sheath is inserted in the arteries, through which the catheter, 1.8 millimetres ( mm) in diameter, is inserted,” he explains.
“It is a painful experience, specially for Indian patients, as they have narrow arteries,” he added.
“Generally, after puncturing the artery with a wire, we introduce a sheath, through which we put a catheter, which is painful. But in the method we use, we put in a catheter without the sheath, which ensures one millimetre of less invasion,” said Gadkar.
“Traditionally Karen Millen Dresses, it was done through groin arteries. The puncture made on the wrist is much smaller than usual,” he said.
The puncture on the wrist is also easier than the groin procedure, which involves complications like immobilisation, Gadkar added.
According to figures released by the World Health Organisation (WHO) Ed hardy Dresses, 60 percent of the world’s cardio-vascular patients are expected to be in India by 2016. The country already has more than 100 million heart patients.
With a high number of young adults being affected by heart problems, angiography is one of the most widely used methods to diagnose heart problems and blockages at an initial stage.
“People are usually afraid of angiography and they keep on avoiding it. This results in heart attacks,” the doctor adds.

Aarushi murder SC to hear Rajesh Talwar’s bail pl
New Delhi: The Supreme Court will hear on Monday the bail plea of dentist Rajesh Talwar who has been asked to face trial along with his wife for allegedly murdering their teenaged daughter Aarushi and domestic help in 2008.
A bench of justices AK Ganguly and JS Khehar, which had dismissed the couple’s plea to quash the criminal proceedings against them, will hear the petition for interim bail in the sensational murder case.
14-year-old Aarushi, the only daughter of the Talwars, was found dead with her throat slit at the family’s Noida residence on the intervening night of May 15-16, 2008 and the body of domestic help Hemraj was found on the terrace the next day.
The apex court had, on January 6 Juicy Couture Dresses, asked the dentist couple to face trial in the murder of Aarushi, a class nine student, and Hemraj.
The bench had said there was nothing wrong in the Ghaziabad magistrate’s order taking cognisance against them and putting them on trial as the trial judge passed the order after applying his mind.
“We feel constrained to observe that the court should exercise utmost restraint before interfering in the magistrate’s order,” the bench had said adding, “The magistrate has applied his mind to come to the conclusion of taking cognisance in the case”.
The investigation in the case was initially carried out by the Uttar Pradesh Police which had arrested Aarushi’s father on May 23, 2008.
The probe was subsequently handed over to the CBI on May 29, 2008 and Rajesh was granted bail by the Ghaziabad court on July 11 Ed hardy Dresses, 2008.
The CBI after probing the murder for over two-and-half years filed its closure report in the case in the Ghaziabad special CBI court, saying it had been unable to find out any evidence to prosecute the Talwars.
The trial court, however, rejected the CBI closure report, saying there was enough prima facie material in the agency’s report to put the couple on trial for their alleged involvement in the twin murders and had issued summons to them to face trial.
The magistrate took cognisance of the case and summoned Talwars on February 9, 2011.
Rajesh and Nupur had subsequently gone to the Allahabad high court, which had dismissed their pleas to quash the trial court summons and the proceedings initiated against them.
The Talwar couple then approached the apex court which had on March 19 last year stayed the trial against them but it vacated the stay on Friday.
Mohanlal’s ‘Tezz’ cameo enrages his fans
Mumbai, Jan 23 (IANS) When Mohanlal agreed to do a cameo in Priyadarshan’s action film “Tezz”, perhaps he didn’t know what he was getting himself, and the film’s makers, into. Now that the film is set for release, there are apprehensions that the actor’s staunch fan following would take umbrage at their icon’s abbreviated part.
Signs of swelling dissent are already evident. The first promotional trailer of “Tezz” has Ajay Devgn and Anil Kapoor in spotlight, while Mohanlal is seen fleetingly.
This has evoked protest all over micro-blogging sites, creating a mild panic situation in the production team BCBG Dresses, says a source.
“We never expected this kind of an uproar. Mohanlal has a cameo in ‘Tezz’, and that’s how he was shown in the first promo…in fleeting shots! But the uproar from his fans in the south on Facebook and Twitter has taken the producers by surprise. New trailers are now being planned where Mohanlal will be as prominent as Ajay Ed hardy Dresses,” said the source.
Incidentally, this is not the first time Devgn has been compelled to share poster space with Mohanlal. In Ram Gopal Varma’s “Company”, the same north-south divide had transpired.
“Tezz” producer Ratan Jain admits to being taken aback by the uproar.
“Frankly we didn’t expect this. We didn’t mean to undermine Mohanlalji’s stature at all. He sportingly agreed to play a cameo part because of his proximity to Priyadarshan. The heroes of our film are Ajay Devgn and Anil Kapoor. But if Mohanlalji’s fans are upset, we’ve to do something about it,” Jain said.
“We’re taking care of the situation. The next promo will feature Mohanlalji prominently.”
An interesting sidelight to the Mohanlal-Devgn poster war is that “Tezz” was meant to be pitched as Devgn’s next action film after “Singham”.
But now with the Mohanlal fans demanding attention to him in the promotional footage, it would be difficult to hightlight the action aspect in the plot.
“We’re looking into it. We need to be fair to all our actors,” said Jain.
