 Kolkata : With one paying tribute to Mahatma Gandhi's simple dressing style and another showcasing lavish bridal wear, the city is set for a double delight this September as two fashion weeks clash on the same date.
Through their innovative collection made from the traditional Indian fabric Khadi, the third edition of the Kolkata Fashion Week (KFW) will pay homage to the father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi.
"We will commemorate the legacy left behind by Gandhi. In continuation with KFW's theme on natural fibres, this time we will present the beauty and variety of khadi as fashionable attire," Prateek Sen, director of Mindscapes Maestros Events & Sports Management, the organisers of the event, told reporters here.
Also known as khaddar, the hand-spun khadi has now found its way into the wardrobe of the fashion conscious after being born as a fabric for rural folks and political leaders.
