No longer a surprise: “Anamika Khanna and Ashish Soni are going to do the Grand Finale this Autumn/Winter ’08 at the WIFW,” he revealed. With the theme of their collection being ‘Mode in India’, the designers intend to convey that Indian fashion has arrived internationally. “

We have become stronger and bigger in terms of participation from designers, buyers, consultants and the media. The Grand Finale is the highlight of the week. I am glad that this time it is Ashish and Anamika’s turn to make fashion look grander than ever,” Atul added.

Happy, Happy: Ashish was very happy at the prospect of doing the finale with Anamika, and so was she. “I am proud of the fact that I have got the opportunity to do the Grand Finale, and I am glad that it is with Ashish,” she said.

Buddies at work :“I am glad that I am going to share space with Anamika. She is a very talented designer and like minded too,” he said.
