An elegant and trendy fashion show was also held at the Grand Ballroom of the capital’s Le Méridien Hotel where five of the top leading textile groups and designers participated in the fashion show. They introduced 100 percent US cotton and cotton-made garments, highlighting Bangladesh’s rich cotton heritage.
