Indian designer Rahul Mishra was adjudged the best womenswear designer by Cotton Council International (CCI) Tuesday for his creations with the fabric.

"I am feeling extremely happy and honoured after getting this award. This award is given by Cotton Council International for my contribution in terms of promotion for cotton," Mishra told IANS.

The designer is known for his love with the fabric and his design philosophy revolves around traditional weaves and fabrics such as Benarasi silks, Chikankari and Kerala's cotton handloom cloth.

After numerous fashion events come the Design Awards, which will encourage young and aspiring talents in the field of fashion by appreciating their work with an award.

The initiative has been taken by DLF Emporio, a luxury mall in the capital.

"We are extremely proud to announce a platform such as Design Awards for the students who are the stars of tomorrow. It's our delight to bring together the best of creative talents and honour their creativity," said Dinaz Madhukar, vice president, DLF Emporio, in a statement.

Fashion designer Anita Dongre is hunting for an accessory designer for her company AND Designs India Ltd and is taking the crowdsourcing way to discover the best talent.

Dongre decided to use the power of online media and has tied up with Talenthouse India, a crowdsourcing platform for the hunt.

"The internet has revolutionised the way many businesses and industries are operated. This initiative sets a new standard how fashion design houses like AND Designs India Ltd will hunt for and collaborate with great aspiring talent," Dongre said in a press statement.

It's Bollywood that's keeping fashion designer Manish Malhotra busy as a bee these days.

"'Krrish 2', SOTY ('Student Of The Year'), Yashji's' next, 'Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani' and 'Heroine'!!! Busy with all these films and so have been off Twitter. Sorry guys," tweeted Malhotra.

Each film has a different theme and feel, and no wonder the designer must be working round-the-clock to serve his best to each project.
