I really miss the old days, when Manmohan Singh was prime minister and the economy was golden. This meant that international fashion houses were genuinely interested in making money out of India’s billion-plus populace, and arrived here with gargantuan glass-and-chrome stores, deep marketing pockets, and the most wonderful pony-up of them all—where fashion writers would be flown to Paris and Milan (business class!) to watch “the shows”.
Now, the shows we watch are on Instagram. John Galliano does not send us two dozen roses and a hand-written note to our five-star rooms. Yves Carcelle does not invite us over for breakfast at his office at 8am. The itsy-bitsy Valentino does not speak his halting English with us any more. Instagram fashion week it is.
