ItS been a while since we last saw a collection from designer Aki Narula. So if you are wondering where he has 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. There are a total of 350 scarves and no two pieces are like each other. All are in organic red chiffon and have been hand-drawn by me, says Narula,who has partnered with alcohol brand Belvedere for the same. While R&B king Usher was signed on as the face of Belvedere’s social-cause campaign,Narula will be the India face of the same. The scarves will be on display at the by-invitation consumer launch that will take place both in Mumbai and New Delhi this November. The line will also be retailed at select design stores beginning early 2012. The designer will also add a line of special edition T-shirts. These sale proceeds will also go to the Global Fund. Apart from this,Narula 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.
