Vikram Chatwal, US based hotelier, will present the 'Mai Mumbai' show on the eve of opening his first-ever Dream Hotel in Cochin, India.
International supermodel Naomi Campbell created ‘Fashion for Relief’ to galvanize the creativity and generosity of the fashion community in times and places of need. Campbell is also organizing the show with the cooperation of Lakme Fashion Week and will be the show stopper for the ‘by invitation only’ 'Mai Mumbai' show on the 28th of March 2009.
Naomi Campbell's 'Fashion for Relief,' charity fashion show and auction, was created in 2005. During NY's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week a benefit fashion show raised funds for New Orleans' Hurricane Katrina, and as part of London Fashion Week in 2008 in aid of the White Ribbon Alliance for saving lives of pregnant women and newborn babies around the world. And now will contribute to the victims of 26/11, in Mumbai.
Talking about this initiative, Anil Chopra, Advisor - Lakmé, says, “Lakme Fashion Week innovates through new avenues not only to give the fashion fraternity a platform to grow but also to position India into the global map. ‘Mai Mumbai’ which actively involves the two International personalities, Vikram Chatwal and Naomi Campbell, is a response to Mumbai and New York’s similar tragic incidents. With this initiative we look forward to take the fashion fraternity to make a statement against the global terror the world is facing today.”
