Indian fashion is inspiring articles in the gulf! And when newspapers in Dubai run lines like the following, one wonders just which way is the morality lesson going to.

Slipping bustiers and busted zippers on the catwalk are lending spice to a top fashion show in India, a conservative country where the slightest hint of sexuality can titillate.


Clothes coming undone on the ramp are nothing new to the fashion world, but in India the slip-ups have sent newspaper editors and TV producers into a feeding frenzy.

TV channels repeatedly broadcast the footage, blurring out the model’s breasts, while newspapers published reports with photographs of the model during her moment of distress.

Many in the crowd caught the embarrassing moments using cameras in their mobile phones, and at least one multimedia message clip of Gracias’ “wardrobe malfunction” is doing the rounds.

Industry officials reacted with anger at what they called the media’s immaturity. “It is a reflection of how titillated we get with even the remotest hint of sexuality,” said Indian fashion writer Hindol Sengupta.

Amused more than titillated I would say.
