SRINAGAR: Even as there was no let-up in the outrage over the fashion show in Gulmarg, the designer duo, Shivan Bhatiya and Narresh Kukreja, who organised the show, on Monday apologised for 'any hurt caused'.

Widespread outrage ensued after photos of the skiwear collection show, organised on March 7 by label Shivan & Narresh, surfaced on social media platforms, with users calling it out for 'disrespecting local sensitivities'.

Shivan and Narresh is India's prominent luxury resort wear brand. On its twitter handle, the label calls itself 'India's first luxury holiday brand'.

"We deeply regret any hurt caused by our recent presentation in Gulmarg during the holy month of Ramzan. Our intention was to celebrate creativity and the ski and après-ski lifestyle, without any desire to offend anyone or any religious sentiments," they said.
