Posted On: 28 March 2019

Mumbai, March 25, 2019: Fevicol, India’s largest adhesive brand from the house of Pidilite Industries, held 14th edition of ‘Caring with Style’ fashion gala under its flagship campaign #JudengeLadengeJeetenge in association with Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA) at NSCI Dome, Worli. This joint initiative by Fevicol and CPAA aims at raising funds for the Cancer Patients (Children with Leukaemia) and help them to lead a happy and healthy life. In this edition of ‘Fevicol Caring with Style’ fashion show, renowned celebrity duo-designer Abu Jani & Sandeep Khosla along with queen of drapes, fashion designer and politician, Shaina NC showcased their collections. 14th edition of ‘Fevicol Caring with Style’ was an evening of style, substance, and heart. A host of Bollywood celebrities graced the ramp in the support of the cause. Sonam Kapoor Ahuja, Karan Johar, Shweta Bachchan Nanda dazzled the ramp for Abu Jani & Sandeep Khosla while Farhan Akhtar, Preity Zinta, Amrita Rao were the showstoppers for Shaina NC. The celebrity duo-designer Abu Jani & Sandeep Khosla chose to pay tribute to India’s textiles and embroidery legacy at their presentation for ‘Fevicol Caring with Style’ this year. Entitled ‘INHERITANCE’, it was a spectacular expression of heritage textiles from across the country, each used as a canvas for spectacular embroideries. Abu Jani & Sandeep Khosla, said, “It is an immense honour and privilege to work with CPAA for the third year in a row. Their work to empower and heal people and families affected by Cancer is unsurpassed. As they mark 50 years of committed service to the community, we are delighted to be a part of this event. Cancer is treatable and beatable. Let’s all be a part of this fight. The special features of the show were the 15 gifted Zardozi Karigars from across the country who took to the ramp, sharing it with Shaina NC and other eminent personalities. Fevicryl, a leading fabric-glue brand, inspired and enabled these karigars to walk the ramp as a part of its initiative #CelebratingZardozi to highlight and showcase the work done by them before a wider audience. The Zardozi artistes are rarely in the limelight, normally work behind-the-scenes. But, at ‘Caring with Style’ they were given their due. The queen of drapes, fashion designer and politician, Shaina NC said, “Fevicol’ ‘Caring with Style’ is a unique initiative that embodies the spirit of uniting against cancer and fighting the disease. It makes glamour meaningful. When I conceptualised this event several years ago the thought was that real people from different walks of life should support the cause of cancer with a purpose. This year, it is even more special as we pay a tribute to the Zardozi Karigars and share the stage with them. They are the invisible workforce behind the glitter of the fashion world and it’s an honour to be associated with them. I thank the corporate social responsibility team of Fevicol and Fevicryl for putting this together. I look forward to a long-standing association with Pidilite’s cause for sustaining Zardozi as an art form.”
