More from the bunkers of the newly concluded Fashion Week. Apparently, apart from the usual hustling for passes and front-row seats, the biggest bugbear for the designers has been the penchant of a few showbiz types who, having received and worn their show outfits and jewellery for the shows (a common practice where the designers get some high-profile people to show off their collection at the high-profile event), are not taking calls regarding their return now.
"The clothes and jewels are sent with the specific understanding that they are returnable," says one harried lady from a designer's team. "However, this particular wannabe actress and socialite's phone is continuously busy or switched off ever since the show ended. And the merchandise is worth at least a few lakhs!" What's most interesting is that the said lady flaunts her proximity to a rich industrialist, who is rumoured to fund her extravagances. All that glitters is not gold?
