...Indian edition next year. Every rock act of note plays Bangalore: the Rolling Stones were here three years ago and U2 will perform in the autumn. Chanel spent several hundred thousand dollars on a single evening's festivities to announce its entry into India, and Christian Dior, Giorgio Armani, Gucci and the others are on their way.
