Khadi is all set to make a grand entry into the global fashion scene, chaperoned by none other than international fashion designer Ritu Beri.
The Khadi and Village Industries Commission has appointed the fashion queen as advisor to the Commission and its Chairman for promotion of khadi within and outside the country.
Announcing the development, Commission Chairman Vinay Kumar Saxena said Ritu Beri would advise on introduction of state of the art multi-fashion designs and styles in khadi readymade garments and on promotion of Khadi in the country and abroad. She will be associated with KVIC as an advisor for a period of one year.
Saxena handed over the appointment letter to Beri on Wednesday at New Delhi. Senior BJP MP, Meenakshilekhi was present on the occasion.
Noting that Beri has had 25 years of experience in the global fashion arena designing clothes for international and national celebrities including Bill Clinton, Prince Charles, Nicole Kidman and Ivana Trump, to name just a few, Saxena said, “We hope her association will help take Khadi to newer heights both locally and globally”.
