consisting of professionals from the fashion industry

Ethical and production with reduced environmental impact in the fashion sector is growing rapidly as a strong segment of this "Ethical  http://www.christianlouboutinflatssales.com/  Market". In the year 2007, the event was attended by over 4500 visitors in total, 48% of which were comprised of national and international buyers, 25% of media, 22% general public and 5% other categories. It is anticipated that approximately 100 fashion designers from all over the world would attend the event this year. The best ethical designer would be awarded by a jury, consisting of professionals from the fashion industry.



Apart from ramp shows, the Ethical Fashion Show 2008 will also feature conferences and round table discussions among industry experts on the subject of ethical fashion. The exhibition this year is planned to be on the theme of 'Globe-trotting colour'. Danish fashion designer Leila Hafzi and Betty de Paris, a natural colorist, are scheduled to present their collections as a part of this event. This would be followed by a show by Takashiro Senko, indigo master from Japan, among displays by other experts.



It has evolved from what was once a " http://www.christianlouboutinpumpsonlineshop.com/  Trend" into a fundamental shift in thinking across all stakeholders in the fashion industry. The Brazilian brand Modafusion would be presenting a collection of colourful dresses for women produced by co-operatives from Rio. UK-based designer Ada Zanditon would present her collection of ethically produced garments, accompanied by a display of designs for working women by French designer C¡§|line Faizant. Eliza Gabriel would be showcasing the special kind of cloth produced by her, by the name of 'Petals', which are available in the shape of flowers. This cloth can be used to make various kinds of items, such as purses, hats and belts. She would also be presenting her 'Noir Tropical' collection, which is based on the romantic costumes of Spanish heroines.



Jewellery designer Estrella Bijoux would be presenting her collection of fashion jewellery made from recycled material. This would be accompanied by Marcello Toshi presenting his collection of fashionable shoes. Sunny Dewan Wadhawan, Managing Director, Christian Louboutin Wedges Shoes remarked, "It is with great pleasure that we announce today HDIL's association with the India's Fashion Industry's apex body, FDCI, and India's newest fashion event HDIL India Couture Week. We are proud to be associated with HICW, an event created to celebrate India's fashion heritage by showcasing leading couture designers of the day. This move into fashion is in broader synergy with the Group's long term strategies and objectives. We believe fashion, especially in the area of couture and bridal wear, is a central interest in the lives of a great proportion of Indians. We would like to be part of ensuring that India's fashion heritage is preserved and nurtured. Our core belief at HDIL is in 'Creating Value' and with HDIL India Couture Week we would like to 'create value' for the Indian fashion industry."



To commemorate the 5th anniversary of the show, it is planned to launch a special fashion magazine by the name of 'Ethical Fashion'. It will focus on articles, reports as well as photographs on ethical fashion and its adoption all over the world, as well as on adopting sustainable lifestyles. As is the case with a number of things, Westernization has had its impact on Indian clothing as well. A significant part of the Indian population has turned to Western garments such as jeans, trousers, Christian Louboutin Pumps, T-shirts, suits and shirts, and prefer them over traditional clothing such as sarees and dhotis. There is, however, a certain section of the population that prefers to stick to traditional Indian clothing. Interestingly in the last decade, a beautiful amalgamation of Indian and Western clothing has become popular, which has come to be known as 'Indo-Western' garments or 'Indo-Western fusion' garments.
