                File Designers are busy preparing for Lakme Fashion 
                  Week in Mumbai  
     Mumbai: Designers 
                    who are to participate in Lakme Fashion Week (LIFW) in Mumbai 
                    are busy giving final touches to their collection ahead of 
                    the event that begins on October 21. India's top designers 
                    and a troop of sashaying models are busy preparing for Lakme 
                    Fashion Week 2008 where they will be showcasing their collections. 
                    "Lakme Fashion Week provides a good platform to all the young 
                    and upcoming talent. I think it is a very long struggle for 
                    any designer to make a mark in India. I think Lakme Fashion 
                    House is doing its job well," said Swati Bhimte, a fashion 
                    designer. The designers are vying to catch the attention of 
                    up to 80 international buyers during the fashion week. "Lakme 
                    Fashion Week has been the most important part of my career 
                    because whatever I am, it is because of Lakme Fashion Week. 
                    After that there was `Generation Next' where they gave me 
                    my next debut which was a very good platform for a young designer 
                    like me," said Swapnil Shinde, another fashion designer. Lakme 
                    Fashion Week (LFW) will involve events like media seminars, 
                    business-to-business meetings and a buyers' forum, apart from 
                    the regular fashion shows. -Oct 19, 2008
