Its been a while now since we last saw a collection from designer Aki Narula.

Its been a while now since we last saw a collection from designer Aki Narula. So if you are wondering where hes disappeared,heres some news. The designer and stylist is launching a special limited edition of red scarves,as part of an initiative to raise proceeds for Global FundTM,a financer of programmes to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa.

Speaking about it,he says,When Belvedere approached me to design these limited edition scarves,I was more than happy to do my bit. There are a total of 350 scarves and no two pieces are like each other,save for the fact that they are all made of organic red chiffon and have been all hand-drawn by me.

R&B king,Usher,was signed on as the face of Belvederes social-cause campaign. Narula will be the Indian face of this campaign. The scarves will be on display at the by-invitation consumer launch in Mumbai and New Delhi this November. The line will also be retailed at select design stores beginning early 2012, he says.

As for the thought behind each scarf,he says,I went with the flow; so you will find motifs such as hearts,keys,envelopes,flowers and trees things one would scribble or doodle on ones notepad. Apart from this,Narula,who even retailed his collection at Cannes and St Tropez in 2003,is also busy with several Bollywood projects. I am styling for Barfee and Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl. Next year,I plan to work on a new collection, he says.
