Emami has revealed that it has withdrawn the sponsorship of the Kolkata Fashion Week-II, which is scheduled to kick off today. The company has cited the reason for their withdrawal as “contractual issues”.
"There were some contractual things, which they wanted us to do but we could not agree," event promoters Mindscapes Maestros managing director Yudhajit Dutta told.
"So Emami said they will not be there in this edition of KFW," he added.
He has also revealed that they are not trying to get any title sponsors. He added that, “We will go ahead without any title sponsors this time."
The KFW-II, which will kick off on Sep 10, has the theme as Earth Couture in view of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation declaring 2009 as "The International Year of Natural Fibre". The fashion show will showcase India’s ethnic roots.
The people who will be walking the ramp for the event, which will conclude on Sep 13, include Virender Sehwag, sarod maestro Ustad Amjad Ali Khan and Bollywood actresses Rituparna Sengupata and Sameera Reddy.
