FDCI lends support to Commonwealth Games 2010

The Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), India’s apex fashion body, Saturday came out to support the forthcoming Commonwealth Games in the capital this year.

The FDCI, along with the Games’ Organising Committee, unveiled a graffiti wall at the ongoing Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW) here, with several designers writing their wishes for the Games on it.

“All the best”, “Good luck”, “The Games rock” were messages that designers Parvesh-Jai, Niharika and Charu Parashar respectively wrote on the wall.

“The FDCI and Commonwealth Games Organising Committee are two vibrant bodies. So we decided why don’t we merge together and support this sports event for public awareness,” FDCI president Sunil Sethi told reporters here.

“We (FDCI) are also planning to involve some of our top designers to deisgn uniforms for the players participating in the Games,” said Sethi, who shared the stage with Commonwealth Games mascot Shera, Organising Committee vice president Raja Randhir Singh, hockey player Sandeep Singh and former hockey captain Zafar Iqbal.

The Commonwealth Games are to be held here in Oct 3-14.
