Dear Diary,
Some days back, I went 2 Romance of Cotton. No no…it wasn’t a romantic, theatrical play or a painting exhibition. It was an exhibition and celebration of the elegance, sensuality and grandeur of cotton as a fashionable garment. Creating mystifying charm was the venue with its all-white decor and candles on each table- it was the perfect ambience with some great music.
Organised by Cotton Council International, it was a proper Page 3 party…what with top models splurging on wine and then bending their backs to walk on d ramp and other celebrities from different walks of life all interacting under the same roof. Like all other typical page 3 parties, this one dindn’t begin on time either!!
As I said, the models could all be seen having glass after glass of their favorite wines. And yet, when they stepped onto the ramp…they all looked so beautiful, graceful and confident!. I guess having so much alcohol peps up your confidence levels..hhmm..Now I know what to do before I go for any of my meetings!!:)
But the star of the evening weren’t the tall and thin models. The magnificent creations by Meera and Muzzaffar Ali were the star of the show. They really brought out the fashion element of cotton very effectively. I’ll be honest and confess that before that night, I honestly believed cotton to be a very cool, comfortable but very non-fashionable wear..but I have converted now…m now a believer!!
The guests of the evening were an amalgamation from the fashion and textile industries. And the who’s who of the fashion industry were seen sharing a drink or two with the who’s who of the textile industry. Hence, Mr. RCM Reddy could be seen laughing and sharing a joke with Ms. Lushin Dubey and Mr. Sharad Jaipuria could be seen conversing with model Indrani Dasgupta. And it was fitting also, for both these industries need each another to survive. Also present in large numbers were the commercial attaches from various embassies.
When such a powerful gathering is present under one roof, could the media be behind? They were present in large numbers and gave a suitable coverage to the event in their newspapers/magazines/ news channels the following week, Seen giving quotes after quotes to the media were our very own "in-house bachelor", AVP-Technopak and Representative CCI-Mr. Ashish Dhir. Backing him up was CCI’s "Punjabi By Nature loving" Sr. Manager Ms. Agneishka Fijol, whose impressive back was nicely clicked and showcased by Delhi Times the next day.

Speaking of Delhi Times, the good amount of media coverage that this high profile event generated has been quite substantial. I am sure that CCI has struck gold and have found a good way of reaching out to the consumers-which was actually what this event was all about. M sure that we will see more of such parties in future. I personally am ready for one any time!!Chalo dear diary. That’s all for my update on the cotton party for now. Some pics are given above for rememberance.
