Indo-Asian News Service (2 April 2007)
 The
Indian fashion industry is on the upswing. Now,
designer and member of the Fashion Design Council
of India (FDCI) Anamika Khanna is all set to join
Manish Arora at the Paris Fashion Week (Spring-Summer
2008 collection) in 2007. They would be the first
Indian designers to showcase their collections
at the event. Didier Grumbach, president Paris
Fashion Week, as well as FDCI confirmed the participation
of these designers at the fashion extravaganza.
This
is the first time Indian designers are participating
independently under their own labels in the Paris
Fashion Week, scheduled to be held from Sep 30
to Oct 7, 2007. Announcing the selection, Rathi
Vinay Jha, Director General, FDCI said, "Anamika
is a talented designer and we are extremely proud
of the fact that she and Manish Arora will be
the first Indian designers to make a mark at a
prestigious platform like the Paris Fashion Week.

"FDCI's
long-term vision is to place Indian fashion
on the global marketplace and this is definitely
a step towards achieving that goal."
A beaming
Anamika Khanna said: "The international fashion market is taking
Indian fashion and its designers seriously. I am overjoyed yet nervous.
Participation at an international fashion platform involves not
only creating world-class products, but also being sensitive to
design application and style."
