Vinod Kaul’s book, The Coterie – An Unravelling on Fashion Street is a page turner, replete with glamour, glitz, intrigue, scandals, deceit all mixed into a cocktail of events that the fashion fraternity will identify with and try to guess the various characters who are inspired by real life names in the business.
Kaul’s experience in the fashion industry spans four decades, including eight years in Canada. As Executive Director of the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) in its formative years in 2002 (the fashion weeks in India only started in August 2000 in Delhi) Kaul, a management graduate from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad had at that time, tried to whip together the scattered, unorganised members of the fashion business, which must have been a trying task.
