The firm picked the seven finalists to be the new faces and bodies of the brand. This was the company’s second campaign where it shunned professional models to use the so-called 'real women'.
Michelle Mone OBE, CEO of Ultimo, who modelled for her own lingerie in a campaign last year, said that, they were inundated with applications during the last competition, and added that, all the women were very much excited and did a wonderful job.

To promote consumption and to propagate the inherent qualities of viscose yarn, the Association of Man-Made Fibre Industry in India (AMFII) organised a day long event - ‘Viscose Connect 2011’ in Surat, which concluded with a dazzling fashion show, presented by top-notch Fashion designers of India. The morning session included interactions between the top officials of the three viscose filament yarn Manufacturer; Century Rayon, Kesoram Rayon and Indian Rayon and those from across the textile value-chain in Surat, which included weavers and embroiders.
These round-table deliberations were meant to inform the Surat textile value-chain about the properties of fabrics made from viscose filament yarn like very good water absorbency and eco-friendliness. They were also informed that, an array of woven fabric like crepe, georgette, satin, velvet and taffeta are manufactured using VFY, thus providing a complete fabric solution.
They were further told that, unlike most man-made fibres, rayon is not synthetic. It is made from wood pulp, a cellulosic based raw material which is naturally-occurring, bio-degradable and is a renewable resource. It is eco-friendly & similar to those of natural cellulosic fibres, such as cotton or linen, than those of other man-made fibres such as nylon or polyester
This was followed by the main event which began in the late evening in which around 300 of the who’s who from the Surat textile sector were invited. The welcome address was given by Vice-President of AMFII and also President of Century Rayon Ltd, Mr Chitlange.
He welcomed the audience by saying that this event has been first organised in Surat due to the fact that, the association of viscose yarn with Surat goes back to the late 50’s and early 60’s, as it was the first city to adopt and consume viscose filament yarn whole-heartedly. Consumption of polyester, silk and nylon followed later.
He added by saying’ “Our objective was to inform the textile value-chain in Surat about the unique properties of viscose like luster which is equivalent to silk, but is also absorbent like cotton. Fabrics made from viscose filament yarn are eco-friendly and skin-friendly. Considering the growing disposable incomes of the Indian consumer, we anticipate high demand for viscose fabrics in the near future”.
