Kolkata, Sep 13 - Well-known fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee feels India should have only one Fashion Week as too many such events dilute the concept and confuse buyers.
City boy Mukherjee, who has stayed away from the ongoing Kolkata Fashion Week-II, told IANS: 'I am not into any event which does not have the proper logistical support and confidence of the buyers.'
The 35-year old Mukherjee, regarded as the biggest name in the fashion world from this part of the country, had skipped the first edition of the KFW, held this April.
'I am not a big supporter of too many fashion weeks. If I support the KFW then what wrong have the others done? I think one is better than 20,' Mukherjee said on phone from Goa, where he is busy designing clothes for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film 'Guzarish'.
Mukherjee also referred to the commercial angle to buttress his point. 'In India we do not have as many buyers. If there are too many fashion weeks the concept will be diluted and it will also confuse the buyers,' said the graduate of the National Institute of Fashion Designing in Kolkata.
Mukherjee said he is generally keeping off fashion shows this year and concentrating more on films.
'Apart from Sanjay's film, I am working for Mani Ratnam's 'Ravana' and R. Balakrishan's (Balki's) 'Pa'.
