There is never a dull moment when it comes to FDCI and its propensity to hog headlines for all the wrong reasons. Having gotten over a sulking ED and his shenanigans, and the high drama FDPC and its obtuse CEO, one might have thought all would be dull and smooth at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2010 in the tents at the NSIC grounds in Okhla. As luck would have it, the first day of the event was declared null and void by an antsy Fire Department, leading to heavy speculations and high decibel reactions all around. Eventually the event did roll out after having put all government departments at ease and permissions signed in triplicate. The second day became first day and the Grand Finale on the fourth day by Rajesh Pratap Singh did not bring the curtains down. With the first day being held on last day, by default JJ Valaya held the second grand finale. All else was business as usual. Most designers presented collections which were an assortment of summer wear, resort wear, evening wear and also some autumn/winter wear thrown in as token. Interestingly, the two developments observed were, firstly the reconciliation that the FDCI fashion week was really THE fashion week where all the buyer action took place, and secondly the clear absence of the film stars and celebrities as show stoppers. That was a relief.
