    CIFW was organised at an estimated cost of Rs 6 crore (UK sterling GBP 878,700). Ad spends to market the event stand at Rs 2 crore (UK sterling GBP 292,900). Mr Gaurav Sharma, Chief Executive Officer, Storm Fashion Company, said this fashion week is possibly the most expensive one so far in India. Participants from ten countries are arriving for this show. Other reasons for launching the event in Chennai include its relative proximity to garment export hub Tirupur, Chennai being the fourth most affluent city in India and a leather export centre.

    Silk production - from worm to catwalk, southern India - 2010
    SILK PRODUCTION - FROM WORM TO CATWALK

    For many silk - the Queen of all fabrics - spells luxury, elegance, class and comfort.

    But for hundreds of thousands of people in India it is something much more mundane but infinitely important - a vital life line.

    An estimated 700,000 people are involved in various sericulture (silk production) activities in India.

    Half of all the silk produced in India comes from the region of Karnataka where a sub-tropical climate allows for year-round production.

    In 2007-08 India exported more than GBP 400 million of raw silk, carpets and ready made garments.

    In 2007 alone it produced 18,320 metric tonnes of raw silk, making it the second a largest silk producer in the world.

    It is second only behind China, which produced 108,420 metric tonnes of raw silk in the same period.

    While the difference is vast, India's contribution is even more impressive considering that much of its production is done using outdated tools or by hand.

    Ultimately, however, poor technology and high production costs undermine the vital role played by sericulture in improving India's rural economy.

    The Worm

    The Silkworm Seed Production Centre in Mysore is run by Professor N.M. Biram Saheb.

    He explains that the Indian government pioneered the provision of disease free lays of eggs as a way of improving yields without increasing start-up costs

    The practice means that farmers are provided with a steady stream of healthy silkworm eggs.

    It is deep in the seed production centre where the 'work' of creating these eggs takes place - in darkened rooms where moths are laid out on newspaper in racks of plastic trays.

    Powerhouses of the silk industry they may be, but in reality they are pale weaklings whose only purpose is to mat...

    Made-In-Italy - Recreated In China
    As a burgeoning middle class emerges in China there is an ever greater demand for European brands and lifestyles.

    For many a trip to Paris, Rome or London still remains a distant and expensive dream, but now there is a home-grown solution.

    Florentia Village, which opened in 2011, is an Italian themed luxury retail park in Wuqing, near Tianjin.

    It boasts all the top label brands you would find on a shopping trip to Italy - as well as some of the country's most famous sights.

    Eager shoppers can pop into Prada before marvelling at the Colosseum and admiring the gondolas on the Great Canal.

    The complex is filled with colonnades, piazzas and bridges, while just beyond the walls the towering chimney of a municipal heating station looms.

    For Florentia is built on an industrial development zone halfway between Beijing and Tianjin.

    Despite its less than salubrious surroundings the sprawling 14-acre Little Italy has proven to be a great success.

    It not only attracts visitors who have the means to shop there but also others who come to gawp at the over-the-top splendor.

    For those who can afford the prices, Florentia's motto is "100pc Luxury Goods, 100pc Discount Heaven".

    It is home to stores such as Versace, Armani, Prada as well as English classics such as Dunhill and Gieves and Hawkes.

    Despite its less than salubrious surroundings the sprawling 14-acre Little Italy has proven to be a great success.

    It not only attracts visitors who have the means to shop there but also others who come to gawp at the over-the-top splendor.

    For those who can afford the prices, Florentia's motto is "100pc Luxury Goods, 100pc Discount Heaven".

    It is home to stores such as Versace, Armani, Prada as well as English classics such as Dunhill and Gieves and Hawkes.
