"There has been a lot of discussion about the necessity of two fashion weeks. It has been going on for sometime but from next year we would have two India fashion weeks " Rathi Vinay Jha Director General FDCI said in Delhi on the sidelines of Lakme India Fashion Week 2005.

"The modalities are being worked out at the moment as to how many days would each of the fashion weeks span and when would they be held," she said.

"With the earlier agreements and commitments coming to an end we are in the process of working out the details for the two fashion weeks to be held next year," she added.

Internationally separate fashion weeks are held at least six months in advance to showcase spring-summer and fall-winter collections respectively.

Western buyers at the Lakme India Fashion have been complaining about the difficulties of mixing the spring-summer and fall-winter collections together in one fashion week.
