September 19, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

London, Sep 18 (ANI): Harry Potter star Emma Watson has revealed that she spent her gap year designing a ‘complete teenage summer wardrobe’ for the fair trade fashion brand People Tree.

Watson, 19, who has just enrolled at Brown University in the US, acted as a creative advisor for the ethical fashion collection, which will reach shops in February.

“I wanted to help People Tree produce a younger range because I was excited by the idea of using fashion as a tool to help alleviate poverty and knew it was something I could help make a difference with,” Sky News quoted her as saying.

“I think young people like me are becoming increasingly aware of the humanitarian and environmental issues surrounding fast fashion and want to make good choices but there aren’t many options out there.

“It has been the most incredible gap year project,” she added.

Among items that the teen actress has had a hand in designing were knitwear, cotton t-shirts, jersey dresses, and poplin shorts.

Her range also includes some more bizarre items, including “bohemian hand embroidered bed throws, recycled sweetie wrapper jewellery, banana fibre slouchy beanies and head scarves.”

They will be sold by People Tree, a company which aims at supporting developing countries and promoting environmental projects. (ANI)

July 16, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

New Delhi, July 16 (ANI): Union Textiles Minister Dayanidhi Maran will lead the joint trade delegation of textiles sector to Japan on July 20.

The seventeen-member delegation comprises the representatives of the Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC), The Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council (TEXPROCIL), the Synthetic and Rayon Textiles Promotion Council (SRTEPC), the Knitwear Technology Mission, and leading textiles manufacturers and exporters from Tirupur and Coimbatore textiles clusters.

During his visit, Maran will inaugurate the Indian Pavilion at the Japan International Fashion Fair (JIFF), known as Mega Apparel and Textile Show, at Tokyo, Japan on July 22.

The Fair will run till July 24, and 44 Indian textiles and clothing exporters have booked 50 stalls. The AEPC along with the SRTEPC and the TEXPROCIL are participating in the Fair.

With a view to diversify the textiles and clothing exports and reduce dependence on USA and EU 27, the Government is promoting exports to South East Asia under its ‘Look East Policy’.

The Indian Government is conscious of the fact that textiles industry needs modernization and there is huge scope for Japanese investment to upgrade spinning, weaving, processing and garmenting facilities.

The Government is making serious efforts to attract investment in this important segment of national economy. This interaction is part of series of interactions, which Maran has conceptualized as part of Government efforts to modernize Indian textiles industry and explore new markets for Indian textiles and clothing exports.

In addition, Maran will meeting Takeo Yamaoka, Chairman , JUKI Corporation , the largest sewing machine manufacturer and Akira Onishi, Chairman , Kirloskar Toyota, the leading Japanese textiles machinery manufacturer. (ANI)

Punjab-East Midland to strengthen bilateral ties

March 22, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Amritsar, Mar 22 (ANI): Punjab recently hosted a reception for the 14-member delegation from East Midland in United Kingdom which was on a tour to Punjab to strengthen bilateral ties and explore trade possibilities in the state.

The delegation showed keenness in sectors like education, engineering, hydro power, skill training and textile designing.

The reception was organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry and Punjab Link Council (UK).

The delegates discussed possibilities of exports between Punjab and East Midland.

Punjab Link Council’s Chief Executive Officer Baljeet Singh said that this was a great opportunity for both sides at the time when all the businesses were looking at their cold sides.

“This is the time to build resilience. I think this is the time to look at new corporate business ideas to see what we can do. For example- can a business have a joint venture from Punjab with businesses in the UK with people that are here, so that each business can develop, strengthen and have formal robust infrastructure than before,” Singh said.

“These economic cycles are inevitable and I believe as we all believe there will be an upturn, lets get ready for that. This is the time to do it,” Singh added. he head of the East Middlian Business for Punjab, Helen Dias, said that she is expecting to form formal links between the universities of both the sides.

“We tend to follow up with the universities mission. We will be promoting Punjab across the East Middle. For example- there are 5000 knitwear firms in Ludhiana and we are looking at Amritsar’s growth. Call centres also have some potential here,” Deas added.

There were 633 industrial enterprises in Punjab with investment of over 3.9 billion USD till 2003. Today there are 0.2 million small-scale industries and 600 large and medium scale industries functioning in the state.

Vice Chairman of CII, Gunbir Singh informed that the United Kingdom is the third largest cumulative investor in India.

“UK is the third largest cumulative investor in India. Today India happens to be the largest investor in UK and our balance of trade is favourable with UK,” Singh said.

“We would like to see business opportunities, which can come our way during this delegation’s visit. The more we expand our ties with other nations definitely it will benefit the common user and Punjabis in particular,” Singh added.he UK business delegates reiterated the sentiment that Punjab is a natural partner for the East Midlands’ region.

And they are keen to develop partnerships and share their diverse advanced technologies in space, transport – from rail to motor racing- waste treatment, bio and life sciences and technical textiles.

With mutual understanding and partnership, Punjab and East Midland can help their industries overcome the financial crisis. y Ravinder Singh(ANI)
