We have been writing about Wills India Fashion Week Spring Summer 2013 which is going on now at Pragati Maidan, Delhi. It has been quite a long journey in a very few days. Our personal lives are on hold, our eyes are saturated by the most creative images possible, watching all those Runway shows, non stop ... our feet hurts, body aches, we have a severe sleep deficit ... but i guess its the same with all the wonderful people who are part of this wonderful universe, temporarily created at Hall number 18. We bloggers are now a recognised part of the larger Media community, and at the end of the day, the point of connection is not Fashion, the shows and our professional lives, its basic human connections like .... "yaar kiske paas ciggy hai ?" ( friends, who has any ciggarettes left ? ) .... " gum hain kya kisi ke paas " ? ( who has chewing gum here ) .... " yaar koi mint hi dede" ( give me a mint atleast, if you don't have gum ) ... " dinner pass le liya " ? ( have you collected your dinner coupon ? ( given to the media by FDCI/ WLS ... coz hacks don't have time to go out of venue for dinner : )  ...... You may not remember the names of all in the Media Pit/ and rows ... but the faces have become so familiar !!! ... ( Familiar (adjective): Well known from long or close association :)

Most of all, for us new faces at India Fashion Week, Sunil Sethi (President, Fashion Design Council of India) was an absolute surprise. On day 1, D was seated for the Atsu Sekhose show and waiting for the presentation to start. Mr. Sethi was busy as a bee checking on the guests, and he looked at D, smiled and said " Are you fine ? I trust you are comfortable ? " ... we don't know if it was D's strikingly platinum blonde hair that got her the attention or Mr Sethi is usually so genial and hospitable ... but she almost fell off her seat and just managed to smile back ... after that, on all the 4 days till now ... Mr Sethi has always acknowledged us with a big smile and a nod ... ( is he always like that ? ... what a sweetie !! :)

A little note on FDCI for our international readers :A nonprofit organization, FDCI is the apex fashion council of India that is represented by over 350 designers. The Fashion Design Council of India is committed towards taking Indian fashion global, by promoting the 'Business of
Fashion' and has been operating for the last 11 years. FDCI regularly holds 4 annual/bi-annual events: India Fashion Week, Mens’ Week (4th country in the world to host), India Couture Week (3rd country in the world to host) and Delhi Couture Week ( 3rd country in the world to host).
