New Delhi, Aug 19 - Finally the confusion is over and the verdict is out - there would now be only one fashion week as the industry's two main groups Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) and Fashion & Design Promotion Council (FDPC) have decided.

After months of discussions and meetings, the decision was made keeping in mind the sentiments of the designers who were vouching for one fashion week.

The government-run FDPC had been talking of having a separate event of it's own.

'Finally, I am glad and feeling happy about this united decision that is aimed at taking our fashion industry to great heights and benefiting our design fraternity in best possible way,' FDCI president Sunil Sethi told IANS.

'All designers wanted to have one fashion week and it was only the push and pull of different councils that was coming as a barrier. But with this decision, everything has been sorted out,' added Sethi.

Describing FDCI as a parent body, Sethi said: 'FDCI has been a parent body from where different councils and different members originated. But at the end of the day, they all are part of the family and we all have one vision and that is to take our fashion fraternity to great heights.'

'We have come to this decision amicably and FDPC will work more towards supporting the industry, and on the other hand we will continue to showcase and promote our designing talent,' he added.
