Designer Narendra Kumar Ahmed is ready to appear in court today after having filed a suit against the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI). Ahmed says he’s agitated over not being allowed to participate in both fashion weeks β€” in Mumbai and Delhi.

He says he had paid up money for both shows and was ready to showcase entirely different collections at both events.

β€œI wanted to participate in both shows and it’s unfair to be blocked from doing so,” says Ahmed. His biggest regret is, β€œAll this, at a time when we are just getting ready for the Lakme Fashion Week.”

However, the Mumbai-based designer has no regrets about his decision to go to court. And with support from some of his fellow designers, he hopes to be able to right the situation.
