Wholesale food prices
have skyrocketed month-
on-month in May, with
official data showing that
the Whole Price Index
for food rising from
5.52% in April to 7.40%
in May. In the food bas-
ket, cereals, paddy, puls-
es, vegetables, potato,
onion, fruits, all spiked.
The overall wholesale
inflation, based on
Wholesale Price Index
rose to 2.61% in May
versus 1.26% in April,
Commerce Ministry said.
It remained in positive
territory for 7th month
after remaining in nega-
tive zone for 7 months
until October. High rate
of wholesale inflation in
April was primarily due
to an increase in prices of
food articles & minerals.

Day after senior RSS
leader Indresh Kumar
slammed the ruling BJP
for ?arrogance? and Op-
position INDIA bloc for
being ?Anti-Ram?, back-
tracks after controversy
erupted over his remarks
in political circles.
Speaking at the ?Ram-
rath Ayodhya Yatra Dar-
shan Poojan Samaroh? at
Kanota near Jaipur on
Thursday, the RSS na-
tional executive member
did not mention the rivals
by name but suggested
that the poll outcome re-
flected their attitudes.
?The party which did the
bhakti (of lord Ram) but
became arrogant was
stopped at 241 but it was
made the biggest party,?
he said, in an apparent
reference to Modi-led
BJP which got 240 seats
in the Lok Sabha seats.
Soon after Kumar?s re-
marks, there was a tussle
within BJP and RSS re-
garding this. At the same
time, RSS distanced it-
self from Kumar?s arro-
gance statement. The
Sangh said that his state-
ment is not the official
statement of RSS, it is his
personal opinion. Mean-
while, on late Friday,
statement of Kumar goes
viral in which he said that
those who worship Ram
have come to power. Tak-
ing a u-turn, on his re-
marks LS poll results,
Kumar said, ?Those who
had pledged the devotion
to Ram are in power and
3rd government has been
formed under leadership
of Narendra Modi. Peo-
ple have this belief that
the country will progress
under PM Modi.?

The incident occurred
at around 6 a.m, when
Rukma Devi was return-

hind her house after at-
tending to her morning
routine. As she was mak-
ing her way back, she
inadvertently came
across two bulls engaged
in a violent fight near her

The Enforcement Direc-

the Prevention of Money

in the Jal Jeevan Mission
corruption case in Rajas-

Chand Jain, operator of
M/s Shri Shyam Tube-
well, late Thursday. Jain,
considered the case?s
mastermind, was pro-
duced in Jaipur?s Special
Court for CBI cases on
Friday, where the ED
sought a 5-day remand.
The ED plans to in-
tensify actions against
others arrested by the
ACB, based on gathered
evidence. Allegations of
corruption surfaced im-
mediately after the
scheme?s implementa-
tion, with accusations
totaling Rs 20,000 crore
by State Agriculture
Minister Dr Kirodi Lal
Meena.
ACB arrests in August
2023 prompted ED?s in-
volvement, leading to
raids and discoveries of
cash, gold, and digital
equipment.
Jain?s firm is accused
of using fraudulent work
certificates and stolen
goods in the scheme.
During the court hear-
ing, Padma Chand Jain?s
lawyer called his arrest
illegal, requesting medi-
cal care. ED?s lawyer
highlighted the serious-
ness of Jain?s alleged

ment of crores. Judge

Rajasthan Cricket Asso-

strain as its treasury is
depleted, leaving it una-
ble to organise cricket
tournaments.
This predicament
arose after the Board of
Control for Cricket in In-

ing RCA, which lacks
recognition from the
board?s ad hoc commit-
tee. Now, members of the
ad hoc committee plan to
approach board officials
to request financial assis-

However, due to ongo-

that the board will imme-

ndia has had
a commend-
able start to
the T20
World Cup
in the USA and raced into
the Super Eights in fine
style. Team India recorded
an unbeatable run by navi-
gating the tricky surfaces of
New York with skill and
determination. Despite the
challenging conditions at
the Nassau County Cricket
stadium, the Rohit Sharma
led team emerged un-
scathed, showcasing their
resilience and adaptability
especially in the Blockbust-
er Clash with Pakistan
which produced a low-
scoring thriller!
Though it?s the batting
unit that generally enables
the ?Men in Blue? to domi-
nate, this time its India?s
bowling attack that has
been a highlight of their
campaign so far. Passing all
tests in flying colours, In-
dian bowlers, with Jasprit
Bumrah leading the charge,
have been simply superb in
India?s winning march in
New York.
Pace-ace Bumrah has
been in top form, delivering
match-winning perfor-
mances and demonstrating
why he is currently consid-
ered the most lethal bowler
in the world. His excep-
tional effort against Paki-
stan was particularly nota-
ble, where he played a cru-
cial role in turning the game
in India?s favor though In-
dia?s batters had notched up
a total of just 119.
In a superlative display,
however, India?s under-
rated bowlers ultimately
pipped Pakistan by six
runs. At one stage, Pakistan
were 72-2 and seemed
poised for victory. But with
Bumrah breathing fire and
the others bowling with
guile and discipline, India
managed a fabulous win
that sent Indian fans into
ecstasy but pushed Pakistan
to the brink of elimination
as they had already lost to
World Cup debutants USA.
Adding to Team India?s
bowling strength, Hardik
Pandya has found his
rhythm, delivering consist-
ently impressive perfor-
mances. Pandya?s turna-
round after a pathetic IPL
season is a huge bonus for
Team India. While he is yet
to strike at his best with the
bat, Pandya?s crafty bowl-
ing is a positive sign for
India as they move forward
in the tournament and pro-
vides a skillful, reliable op-
tion in India?s bowling ar-
senal on all pitches whether
they favour pace or spin.
Left-arm pacer Arshdeep
Singh has also been in im-
pressive form and recorded
the best bowling figures by
an Indian in T20 World Cup
history in the tricky game
against USA. With mag-
nificent figures of 4-0-9-4,
Arshdeep helped to restrict
USA to a modest target
which Team India knocked
off comfortably despite hic-
cups at the start.
While the bowling unit
has been strong, India?s bat-
ting lineup has hardly fired
anywhere close to its best.
The opening pair of Virat
Kohli and Rohit Sharma
have struggled to find their
form, a big cause for con-
cern for fans keen to savour
their strokeplay. Despite
their underwhelming per-
formances, many feel
there?s no need to change
the opening pair, given
their proven track records.
In some quarters, however,
there is a talk of putting Ya-
shasvi Jaiswal at the top
and moving King Kohli to
his number three slot where
he has always excelled.
However, the middle or-
der appears in need of a
strategic re-adjustment.
Shivam Dube?s inclusion in
the playing XI has been
questioned, especially since
he has not been contributing
with the ball. Experts sug-
gest that Dube should be
replaced by Sanju Samson
who is not only a more ac-
complished batsman but
also a powerful hitter, and
can bolster India?s middle
order significantly.
The potential washout
of India?s match against
Canada in Florida adds an
element of uncertainty, but
the focus remains on main-
taining form and making
strategic decisions to en-
hance the team?s chances.
With a strong bowling at-
tack and a potential tweak
in the batting lineup, India
is well-positioned to con-
tinue their impressive run
in the World Cup.
As India advances to the
Super 8s, the excitement
of the World Cup is all set
to intensify and the stage
is now set for some thrill-
ing cricket in the West In-
dies. The team?s perfor-
mance in the upcoming
matches will be crucial to
determine their path for-
ward in the tournament.
While India is certain to
face formidable Australia
who have already quali-
fied, the other two teams
likely to confront India in
the Group Stage of the Su-
per 8s are Afghanistan and
Bangladesh.
India?s World Cup jour-
ney so far has been marked
by impressive bowling
performances but major
batting challenges. Though
Rohit Sharma, Rishab Pant
and Surya Kumar Yadav
have shown flashes of bril-
liance, Team India?s bat-
ting powerhouse needs to
start clicking in unison if
the Men in Blue wish to
return with an ICC trophy
this time, something that?s
eluded them for over a dec-
ade now. The team?s abil-
ity to adapt and make nec-
essary changes will be a
key element as they move
into the Super 8s. Fans can
look forward to an exciting
phase of the tournament,
with India poised to de-
liver more memorable per-
formances.

IN-DEPTH
WIDENING GULF BETWEEN
RSS AND THE PARTY
TRAGIC DEATH OF
INDIANS IN KUWAIT
he war of words between the Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh and the Bharatiya Ja-
nata Party seems to be escalating. After Mo-
han Bhagwat?s chastising remarks on arrogance,
which were applicable to the opposition as much as
to the BJP, another RSS leader jumped into the fray.
Senior RSS leader Indresh Kumar, who formed the
Muslim Rashtriya Manch, saying that Lord Ram re-
stricted those with ahankaar (arrogance) to 241 seats
and those who opposed the deity ended up with only
234 seats. His reference obviously was to the BJP
and the INDI Alliance.
The BJP is rankled by its heavy loss of seats in
Uttar Pradesh and is trying to find out what exactly
could be the reason for the staggering loss of seats.
Union minister Jitan Ram Manjhi of the Hindustani
Awam Morcha joined the issue on behalf of the BJP
and told ?those who are saying this to think about
themselves?? With Yogi Aditynath set to meet
Bhagwat there is more to come.
T
2014 study on Indian migrant workers in
West Asia highlighted ?unhealthy labour
laws, practices, and environments.? The
study emphasized that the ?Kafala System,? often de-
scribed as modern-day slavery, exposes migrant la-
bourers to human trafficking and forced labour. This
system has led to severe human rights abuses.
The tragic death of 45 Indian workers in Kuwait
demonstrates that the situation has changed little in
the past decade. The living conditions of these work-
ers were deplorable. Reports indicate they were
crammed into rooms divided by cardboard and plas-
tic, with cooking gas
cylinders and other
flammable materials
carelessly scattered
around. The closed
door to the terrace
made the building
more of a tinderbox.
It is a well laid out
trap for migrant
workers. They are
made to sign docu-
ments which they
cannot read. Once
they land in the coun-
try of their destina-
tion their passports
are taken away by
employers making
them illegal immi-
grants. They are thus
unable to go out and lodge a complaint or leave the
country. For the illiterate and semi-skilled workers the
problem gets even more acute as the lure of the lucre
is far more tempting than a background check on the
employing agency or employers.
From 2019 till June 30, 2023 Indian embassies in
Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Qatar
and Saudi Arabia were reported to have received
48,095 complaints from Indian migrant workers who
faced rights violations and exploitative working con-
ditions. The Indian government must intervene before
unskilled and semi-skilled workers embark on their
journey to protect them from being held in near slav-
ery for exploitation.
A
The study
emphasized that the
?Kafala System,?
often described as
modern-day slavery,
exposes migrant
labourers to human
trafficking and
forced labour. This
system has led to
severe human rights
abuses

in India?s favor though In-
dia?s batters had notched up
a total of just 119.
In a superlative display,
however, India?s under-
rated bowlers ultimately
pipped Pakistan by six
runs. At one stage, Pakistan
were 72-2 and seemed
poised for victory. But with
Bumrah breathing fire and
the others bowling with
guile and discipline, India
managed a fabulous win
that sent Indian fans into
ecstasy but pushed Pakistan
to the brink of elimination
as they had already lost to
World Cup debutants USA.
Adding to Team India?s
bowling strength, Hardik
Pandya has found his
rhythm, delivering consist-
ently impressive perfor-
mances. Pandya?s turna-
round after a pathetic IPL
season is a huge bonus for
Team India. While he is yet
to strike at his best with the
bat, Pandya?s crafty bowl-
ing is a positive sign for
India as they move forward
in the tournament and pro-
vides a skillful, reliable op-
tion in India?s bowling ar-
senal on all pitches whether
they favour pace or spin.
Left-arm pacer Arshdeep
Singh has also been in im-
pressive form and recorded
the best bowling figures by
an Indian in T20 World Cup
history in the tricky game
against USA. With mag-
nificent figures of 4-0-9-4,
Arshdeep helped to restrict
USA to a modest target
which Team India knocked
off comfortably despite hic-
cups at the start.
While the bowling unit
has been strong, India?s bat-
ting lineup has hardly fired
anywhere close to its best.
The opening pair of Virat
Kohli and Rohit Sharma
have struggled to find their
form, a big cause for con-
cern for fans keen to savour
their strokeplay. Despite
their underwhelming per-
formances, many feel
there?s no need to change
the opening pair, given
their proven track records.
In some quarters, however,
there is a talk of putting Ya-
shasvi Jaiswal at the top
and moving King Kohli to
his number three slot where
he has always excelled.
However, the middle or-
der appears in need of a
strategic re-adjustment.
Shivam Dube?s inclusion in
the playing XI has been
questioned, especially since
he has not been contributing
with the ball. Experts sug-
gest that Dube should be
replaced by Sanju Samson
who is not only a more ac-
complished batsman but
also a powerful hitter, and
can bolster India?s middle
order significantly.
The potential washout
of India?s match against
Canada in Florida adds an
element of uncertainty, but
the focus remains on main-
taining form and making
strategic decisions to en-
hance the team?s chances.
With a strong bowling at-
tack and a potential tweak
in the batting lineup, India
is well-positioned to con-
tinue their impressive run
in the World Cup.
As India advances to the
Super 8s, the excitement
of the World Cup is all set
to intensify and the stage
is now set for some thrill-
ing cricket in the West In-
dies. The team?s perfor-
mance in the upcoming
matches will be crucial to
determine their path for-
ward in the tournament.
While India is certain to
face formidable Australia
who have already quali-
fied, the other two teams
likely to confront India in
the Group Stage of the Su-
per 8s are Afghanistan and
Bangladesh.
India?s World Cup jour-
ney so far has been marked
by impressive bowling
performances but major
batting challenges. Though
Rohit Sharma, Rishab Pant
and Surya Kumar Yadav
have shown flashes of bril-
liance, Team India?s bat-
ting powerhouse needs to
start clicking in unison if
the Men in Blue wish to
return with an ICC trophy
this time, something that?s
eluded them for over a dec-
ade now. The team?s abil-
ity to adapt and make nec-
essary changes will be a
key element as they move
into the Super 8s. Fans can
look forward to an exciting
phase of the tournament,
with India poised to de-
liver more memorable per-
formances.

INDIA STORMS INTO SUPER 8s AT T20 WC IN USA
Pace-ace Bumrah has been in top form, delivering
match-winning performances and demonstrating
why he is currently considered the most lethal
bowler in the world. His exceptional effort against
Pakistan was particularly notable, where he played a
crucial role in turning the game in India?s favor
though India?s batters had notched up a total of just

IN-DEPTH
WIDENING GULF BETWEEN
RSS AND THE PARTY
TRAGIC DEATH OF
INDIANS IN KUWAIT
he war of words between the Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh and the Bharatiya Ja-
nata Party seems to be escalating. After Mo-
han Bhagwat?s chastising remarks on arrogance,
which were applicable to the opposition as much as
to the BJP, another RSS leader jumped into the fray.
Senior RSS leader Indresh Kumar, who formed the
Muslim Rashtriya Manch, saying that Lord Ram re-
stricted those with ahankaar (arrogance) to 241 seats
and those who opposed the deity ended up with only
234 seats. His reference obviously was to the BJP
and the INDI Alliance.
The BJP is rankled by its heavy loss of seats in
Uttar Pradesh and is trying to find out what exactly
could be the reason for the staggering loss of seats.
Union minister Jitan Ram Manjhi of the Hindustani
Awam Morcha joined the issue on behalf of the BJP
and told ?those who are saying this to think about
themselves?? With Yogi Aditynath set to meet
Bhagwat there is more to come.
T
2014 study on Indian migrant workers in
West Asia highlighted ?unhealthy labour
laws, practices, and environments.? The
study emphasized that the ?Kafala System,? often de-
scribed as modern-day slavery, exposes migrant la-
bourers to human trafficking and forced labour. This
system has led to severe human rights abuses.
The tragic death of 45 Indian workers in Kuwait
demonstrates that the situation has changed little in
the past decade. The living conditions of these work-
ers were deplorable. Reports indicate they were
crammed into rooms divided by cardboard and plas-
tic, with cooking gas
cylinders and other
flammable materials
carelessly scattered
around. The closed
door to the terrace
made the building
more of a tinderbox.
It is a well laid out
trap for migrant
workers. They are
made to sign docu-
ments which they
cannot read. Once
they land in the coun-
try of their destina-
tion their passports
are taken away by
employers making
them illegal immi-
grants. They are thus
unable to go out and lodge a complaint or leave the
country. For the illiterate and semi-skilled workers the
problem gets even more acute as the lure of the lucre
is far more tempting than a background check on the
employing agency or employers.
From 2019 till June 30, 2023 Indian embassies in
Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Qatar
and Saudi Arabia were reported to have received
48,095 complaints from Indian migrant workers who
faced rights violations and exploitative working con-
ditions. The Indian government must intervene before
unskilled and semi-skilled workers embark on their
journey to protect them from being held in near slav-
ery for exploitation.

ONE NATION ONE ELECTION
Plans afoot to place Kovind panel?s

PTI

The Union law ministry
plans to place before the
Union Cabinet the report
of the high-level com-
mittee on ?one nation,
one election?, sources
said on Friday.
They said placing the
report before the cabinet
?at the earliest? is part of
the 100-day agenda of
the Legislative Depart-
ment in the law ministry.
Ahead of Lok Sabha
elections, Prime Minister
Narendra Modi had di-
rected all union ministries
and departments to draw
up a 100-day agenda for
the next government.
The high-level com-
mittee on ?one nation,
one election? headed by
former president Ram
Nath Kovind had sub-
mitted its report to Pres-
ident Droupadi Murmu
on March 15, recom-
mended simultaneous
elections for Lok Sabha
and state assemblies as
the first step followed by
synchronised local body
polls within 100 days.
The panel had also
proposed setting up of an
?Implementation Group
to look into the execution
of the recommendations
made by the committee.
Simultaneous polls
will help save resources,
spur development and
social cohesion, deepen
?foundations of demo-
cratic rubric? and help
realise the aspirations of
?India, that is Bharat?,
the panel had said.
The panel also recom-
mended preparation of a
common electoral roll
and voter ID cards by
the Election Commis-
sion of India in consulta-
tion with state election
authorities.

Chief Minister Bhajan Lal
Sharma said that yoga is
such a priceless gift given
to the world by our sages
and saints, which keeps
both the body and mind
healthy. Therefore, we
should make yoga an inte-
gral part of our life. The
Chief Minister held a
meeting at the CMO on
Friday regarding the prep-
arations for programs to
be organized in state on
International Yoga Day
(21 June). He said that
every citizen of the state
should contribute to the
creation of a healthy Ra-
jasthan by adopting yoga.
Sharma said that the
country?s PM Modi has
given yoga a new identity
and respect at the interna-
tional level. ?The PM
himself also practices
yoga regularly, due to
which he remains ener-
getic throughout the day
and remains active as a
Karmayogi,? he said.
Sharma directed the of-
ficials that every depart-
ment of the state should
make the general public
aware about International
Yoga Day and promote it

turopathy system. This is
a sign of India being ac-
cepted as Vishwaguru at
international level. This
time the theme of Yoga
Day has been kept as
?Yoga for self & society?
The practice of yoga helps
a person to take better de-
cisions for social welfare
with a peaceful mind,? he

kanksha Choud-
hary, a 21-year-
old B.Tech stu-
dent from Jaipur,
has embarked on a
remarkable jour-
ney from a basketball court to
the world of modelling. Born
and raised in Jaipur, Akank-
sha's early years were filled
with sports and academics.
She was a basketball and
handball player and an NCC cadet
during her school days. Despite her
serious academic pursuits, including
aspirations to join IIT Bombay,
Akanksha found her true passion in
modelling.
Her journey in the modelling
world was not without challenges.
For three consecutive years,
Akanksha auditioned for
beauty pageants, driven
by her dream to repre-
sent India on an inter-
national stage. Her de-
termination paid off
when she won Miss Ra-
jasthan 2023, securing
the first runner-up posi-
tion with the guidance
of Miss Rajasthan
Founders & Directors, Yogesh
Mishra & Nimisha Mishra. Her vic-
tory was a testament to her resil-
ience, as she faced numerous rejec-
tions and struggled with maintaining
the ideal physique for the industry.
Akanksha's family has been a pil-
lar of support throughout her jour-
ney. Her father, who runs a small
medical shop, and her mother, a
housewife, initially envisioned a dif-
ferent path for her. However, seeing
her dedication and hard work, they
have come to support her dreams.
Her elder brothers, both engineers
and one now an IAS officer, have
been role models, exemplifying
the value of persistence.

kanksha Choud-
hary, a 21-year-
old B.Tech stu-
dent from Jaipur,
has embarked on a
remarkable jour-
ney from a basketball court to
the world of modelling. Born
and raised in Jaipur, Akank-
sha's early years were filled
with sports and academics.
She was a basketball and
handball player and an NCC cadet
during her school days. Despite her
serious academic pursuits, including
aspirations to join IIT Bombay,
Akanksha found her true passion in
modelling.
Her journey in the modelling
world was not without challenges.
For three consecutive years,
Akanksha auditioned for
beauty pageants, driven
by her dream to repre-
sent India on an inter-
national stage. Her de-
termination paid off
when she won Miss Ra-
jasthan 2023, securing
the first runner-up posi-
tion with the guidance
of Miss Rajasthan
Founders & Directors, Yogesh
Mishra & Nimisha Mishra. Her vic-
tory was a testament to her resil-
ience, as she faced numerous rejec-
tions and struggled with maintaining
the ideal physique for the industry.
Akanksha's family has been a pil-
lar of support throughout her jour-
ney. Her father, who runs a small
medical shop, and her mother, a
housewife, initially envisioned a dif-
ferent path for her. However, seeing
her dedication and hard work, they
have come to support her dreams.
Her elder brothers, both engineers
and one now an IAS officer, have
been role models, exemplifying
the value of persistence.
Balancing her B.Tech studies
with her modelling career,
Akanksha also finds joy in
dancing, watching K-dra-
mas, and reminiscing
about childhood science
experiments with her
brothers. She practices
meditation and cherishes
time with friends and fam-
ily, maintaining a healthy
and balanced lifestyle.
Akanksha is not just focused
on her modelling career; she har-
bours a dream to become an ac-

termined to live in the pre-
sent, working tirelessly to
ensure her dreams be-
come reality. Her ulti-
mate goal is to pro-
vide a better life for

Every year
on June 14th, countries
around the globe come
together to celebrate
World Blood Donor Day,
a day dedicated to raising
awareness about the criti-
cal need for safe blood
and blood products and to
thank voluntary, unpaid
blood donors for their
life-saving gifts. This spe-

by the World Health Or-

2004 and has since be-
come an important event
in the health calendar.
PROMOTING
BLOOD DONATION
World Blood Donor
Day is not just a cel-
ebration but also a
call to action. It en-
courages more peo-
ple to become regu-
lar blood donors and
inspires communi-
ties to establish ef-
fective blood dona-
tion programs. Pub-
lic awareness cam-
paigns, media cover-
age, and educational
events play a signifi-
cant role in spread-
ing the message and
debunking myths as-
sociated with blood
donation.
THE HEROES AMONG US:
BLOOD DONORS
Blood donors are unsung heroes who play a
crucial role in ensuring the availability of
safe blood. These donors come from all
walks of life, united by their commitment to
helping others. Their selfless acts provide
the essential lifeline for many medical treat-
ments and emergencies. Voluntary, unpaid
blood donors are particularly important as
their donations are considered the safest source
of blood. This is because these donors are moti-
vated purely by altruism and are less likely to with-
hold information about their health status, ensuring
the blood supply is safe from infectious diseases.
Blood is the most precious gift that anyone can give
to another person ? the gift of life. A decision to
donate your blood can save a life, or even several
if your blood is separated into its components ? red
cells, platelets, and plasma ? which can be used
individually for patients with specific conditions.
Blood transfusions are needed for a variety of
conditions and situations, including.
SEVERE TRAUMA: from accidents,
natural disasters, or conflicts.
SURGERIES: including those related
to organ transplants and major surgeries.
CANCER TREATMENTS: patients
undergoing chemotherapy often need
blood transfusions.
CHRONIC ILLNESSES: such as
sickle cell anaemia and thalassemia.
COMPLICATIONS DURING
CHILDBIRTH:which can result in se-
vere blood loss.
The theme for 2024 Each year, World
Blood Donor Day is centred around a spe-
cific theme to highlight different aspects of
blood donation and transfusion. The theme
for 2024 is ?Give Blood, Give Life,? em-
phasizing the vital role of voluntary blood
donors in providing a steady and safe sup-
ply of blood for those in need. This theme encourages people to see
blood donation as a selfless act of solidarity and a service to humanity.

he Oscars are no
longer just a cel-
ebration of mov-
ies. They?ve also
become a fashion
show, with fans, designers and
the media celebrating and criti-
quing Hollywood celebrities as
they stroll, pause and pose on
the red carpet of the annual
awards ceremony. A sharp
look can be a story in and
of itself. Take actress Lu-
pita Nyong?o. After she
wore a powder blue
Prada dress to the 2014
Oscars, she became
the new ?It girl? over-
night. She was
named People mag-
azine?s Most Beau-
tiful Woman, be-
came the first
Black ambas-
sador for beau-
ty giant
Lanc?me and
landed on the
covers of Vogue,
Vanity Fair and
Glamour. But fash-
ion wasn?t always so
central to the ceremony.
In my book about the
history of the Oscars red
carpet, I point to two es-
sential figures that turned
the Oscars into the fashion
spectacle we know today.
TV PUTS THE OSCARS IN
THE SPOTLIGHT
At the end of the 1940s, the
Hollywood film industry was
facing economic headwinds.
More and more households
were buying television sets,
which impacted movie-going.
The studios also
saw their revenues decline
when they were forced to sell
their theatre chains after losing
an antitrust case in 1948. Finan-
cial struggles continued to
mount when, in 1949, the mo-
tion picture companies refused
to fund the Academy Awards
after the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences, the
organization that puts on the
awards, allowed British films to
compete head-to-head with
American productions.
The organization found tem-
porary solutions to keep the
event going. But when faced
with the possibility of discon-
tinuing the Oscars ceremony
altogether due to financial con-
straints, the academy weighed
the advantages and disadvan-
tages of airing the program on
television, which was seen as
the film?s main competitor.
Eventually, the academy ap-
proached NBC and requested
that the network cover the ex-
penses to put on the event in
exchange for the rights to
broadcast the show in 1953.
Until then, the studios had care-
fully crafted and controlled
their stars? public image. Tele-
vision was a new medium ? and
a more spontaneous one. Studio
executives feared how their
stars would appear on screen
and behave during the broad-
cast. Furthermore, many nomi-
nees were sceptical of appear-
ing at the event since there was
no stipulation in their contracts
about television appearances.
EDITH HEAD,
GUARDIAN OF GLAMOUR
So the academy hired Edith
Head as a fashion consultant to
supervise the stars? appearance.
At the time, Head was Holly-
wood?s most famous costume
designer. She?d been working
since the days of silent cinema,
and she was accustomed to the
media spotlight through her pro-
motional work for Paramount.
Head was responsible for en-
suring everyone dressed appro-
priately, abiding by the ?de-
cency and decorum? guidelines
suggested by the Code of Prac-
tice for Television Broadcast-
ers. She also had to ensure that
no two dresses were the same
and that the outfits worn by pre-
senters and nominees looked
good on camera and comple-
mented the set.
One of her most important
roles ended up being talking up
fashion in media interviews
leading up to the Oscars, which
she frequently referred to as a
fashion show. ?This is a very
competitive night from a fashion
point of view because, as I said,
the stars are presenting them-
selves as themselves,? Head ex-
plained on one of her radio
shows. ?For me, as a fashion
designer, the most exciting ques-
tion is who will wear what.?
The postwar growth of the
international fashion industry
paved the way for Hollywood
stars to wear the latest creations
by European designers, includ-
ing Christian Dior, Hubert de
Givenchy and Pierre Balmain.
However, by the mid-1960s,
new fashion trends such as min-
iskirts, shapeless dresses, pants
and bohemian styles threatened
to upend the formal attire of the
Oscars and the feminine ideals
preferred by Head.
In 1968, she felt compelled
to remind young actresses of
the event?s stature with a press
release after actress Inger Ste-
vens wore a mini dress to the
ceremony in 1967. To Head,
this was no informal social
gathering; it was a glamorous,
upscale fashion parade.
Two years later, in 1970, she
reiterated the importance of for-
mal attire while announcing the
nominees for the Oscar for Best
Costume Design. She reminded
young actresses that the Oscars
was ?the most important time of
the year in Hollywood? and ad-
vised them to avoid wearing ?the
freaky, far-out, unusual fashions.?
FRED HAYMAN
RIGHTS THE SHIP
After Head said goodbye to her
position after the 1971 ceremo-
ny, celebrities blew through the
boundaries of decorum, inau-
gurating an era of questionable
fashion choices: Edy Williams?
shocking bikini looks, Bob
Mackie?s memorable transpar-
encies for Cher and Armani?s
over-the-top informality for Di-
ane Keaton.
Fashion order was restored
in 1989 when Beverly Hills
impresario Fred Hayman be-
came the event?s new fashion
coordinator. Lucky for him, in
the 1990s, fashion was in fash-
ion. New successful designers
such as Giorgio Armani, Thier-
ry Mugler and Gianni Versace
elbowed into the spotlight
alongside established con-
glomerate brands like Louis
Vuitton and Givenchy.
Supermodels had become ce-
lebrities on par with actors and
actresses, and cable television
launched specialized interna-
tional networks dedicated en-
tirely to fashion and celebrity
culture. Hayman was eager to
capitalize on this momentum to
promote Rodeo Drive as the
luxury shopping mecca of the
West Coast.
Hayman had begun his ca-
reer in the hospitality industry.
But in 1961, he switched to
fashion after investing in a
friend?s boutique, Giorgio Bev-
erly Hills. Hayman would
eventually become the bou-
tique?s sole owner. In 1989, the
same year he joined the Oscars
as fashion coordinator, he re-
branded his store as Fred Hay-
man Beverly Hills after selling
the Giorgio brand to cosmetics
conglomerate Avon to commer-
cialize his perfume line.
Giorgio Beverly Hills ca-
tered to the rich and famous by
retailing garments from various
designers and brands from Eu-
rope and New York City. As
fashion coordinator of the Os-
cars, Hayman became the offi-
cial go-to resource for what to
wear to the event, attracting
more celebrities, brands and
media attention to Rodeo Drive.
Building off Head?s media
strategy, Hayman introduced
the fashion previews. These
were runway shows for the
press organized at the Samuel
Goldwyn Theatre on Wilshire
Boulevard to anticipate each
year?s red-carpet trends. Fash-
ion at the Oscars took a giant
leap forward with Hayman.
Thanks to his efforts, the West
Coast enhanced its fashion
profile, prompting luxury
brands to open flagship stores
along Rodeo Drive.
He continued in his role for a
decade until he was replaced by
stylist L?Wren Scott for the cer-
emony in 2000. Through their
media savvy, Head and Hayman
were able to recast the Academy
Awards ceremony as a dazzling
spectacle of glamour ? what
Head frequently described as
?the biggest international fash-
ion show free-for-all.?

were buying television sets,
which impacted movie-going.
The studios also
saw their revenues decline
when they were forced to sell
their theatre chains after losing
an antitrust case in 1948. Finan-
cial struggles continued to
mount when, in 1949, the mo-
tion picture companies refused
to fund the Academy Awards
after the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences, the
organization that puts on the
awards, allowed British films to
compete head-to-head with
American productions.
The organization found tem-
porary solutions to keep the
event going. But when faced
with the possibility of discon-
tinuing the Oscars ceremony
altogether due to financial con-
straints, the academy weighed
the advantages and disadvan-
tages of airing the program on
television, which was seen as
the film?s main competitor.
Eventually, the academy ap-
proached NBC and requested
that the network cover the ex-
penses to put on the event in
exchange for the rights to
broadcast the show in 1953.
Until then, the studios had care-
fully crafted and controlled
their stars? public image. Tele-
vision was a new medium ? and
a more spontaneous one. Studio
executives feared how their
stars would appear on screen
and behave during the broad-
cast. Furthermore, many nomi-
nees were sceptical of appear-
ing at the event since there was
no stipulation in their contracts
about television appearances.
EDITH HEAD,
GUARDIAN OF GLAMOUR
So the academy hired Edith
Head as a fashion consultant to
supervise the stars? appearance.
At the time, Head was Holly-
wood?s most famous costume
designer. She?d been working
since the days of silent cinema,
and she was accustomed to the
media spotlight through her pro-
motional work for Paramount.
Head was responsible for en-
suring everyone dressed appro-
priately, abiding by the ?de-
cency and decorum? guidelines
suggested by the Code of Prac-
tice for Television Broadcast-
ers. She also had to ensure that
no two dresses were the same
and that the outfits worn by pre-
senters and nominees looked
good on camera and comple-
mented the set.
One of her most important
roles ended up being talking up
fashion in media interviews
leading up to the Oscars, which
she frequently referred to as a
fashion show. ?This is a very
competitive night from a fashion
point of view because, as I said,
the stars are presenting them-
selves as themselves,? Head ex-
plained on one of her radio
shows. ?For me, as a fashion
designer, the most exciting ques-
tion is who will wear what.?
The postwar growth of the
international fashion industry
paved the way for Hollywood
stars to wear the latest creations
by European designers, includ-
ing Christian Dior, Hubert de
Givenchy and Pierre Balmain.
However, by the mid-1960s,
new fashion trends such as min-
iskirts, shapeless dresses, pants
and bohemian styles threatened
to upend the formal attire of the
Oscars and the feminine ideals
preferred by Head.
In 1968, she felt compelled
to remind young actresses of
the event?s stature with a press
release after actress Inger Ste-
vens wore a mini dress to the
ceremony in 1967. To Head,
this was no informal social
gathering; it was a glamorous,
upscale fashion parade.
Two years later, in 1970, she
reiterated the importance of for-
mal attire while announcing the
nominees for the Oscar for Best
Costume Design. She reminded
young actresses that the Oscars
was ?the most important time of
the year in Hollywood? and ad-
vised them to avoid wearing ?the
freaky, far-out, unusual fashions.?
FRED HAYMAN
RIGHTS THE SHIP
After Head said goodbye to her
position after the 1971 ceremo-
ny, celebrities blew through the
boundaries of decorum, inau-
gurating an era of questionable
fashion choices: Edy Williams?
shocking bikini looks, Bob
Mackie?s memorable transpar-
encies for Cher and Armani?s
over-the-top informality for Di-
ane Keaton.
Fashion order was restored
in 1989 when Beverly Hills
impresario Fred Hayman be-
came the event?s new fashion
coordinator. Lucky for him, in
the 1990s, fashion was in fash-
ion. New successful designers
such as Giorgio Armani, Thier-
ry Mugler and Gianni Versace
elbowed into the spotlight
alongside established con-
glomerate brands like Louis
Vuitton and Givenchy.
Supermodels had become ce-
lebrities on par with actors and
actresses, and cable television
launched specialized interna-
tional networks dedicated en-
tirely to fashion and celebrity
culture. Hayman was eager to
capitalize on this momentum to
promote Rodeo Drive as the
luxury shopping mecca of the
West Coast.
Hayman had begun his ca-
reer in the hospitality industry.
But in 1961, he switched to
fashion after investing in a
friend?s boutique, Giorgio Bev-
erly Hills. Hayman would
eventually become the bou-
tique?s sole owner. In 1989, the
same year he joined the Oscars
as fashion coordinator, he re-
branded his store as Fred Hay-
man Beverly Hills after selling
the Giorgio brand to cosmetics
conglomerate Avon to commer-
cialize his perfume line.
Giorgio Beverly Hills ca-
tered to the rich and famous by
retailing garments from various
designers and brands from Eu-
rope and New York City. As
fashion coordinator of the Os-
cars, Hayman became the offi-
cial go-to resource for what to
wear to the event, attracting
more celebrities, brands and
media attention to Rodeo Drive.
Building off Head?s media
strategy, Hayman introduced
the fashion previews. These
were runway shows for the
press organized at the Samuel
Goldwyn Theatre on Wilshire
Boulevard to anticipate each
year?s red-carpet trends. Fash-
ion at the Oscars took a giant
leap forward with Hayman.
Thanks to his efforts, the West
Coast enhanced its fashion
profile, prompting luxury
brands to open flagship stores
along Rodeo Drive.
He continued in his role for a
decade until he was replaced by
stylist L?Wren Scott for the cer-
emony in 2000. Through their
media savvy, Head and Hayman
were able to recast the Academy
Awards ceremony as a dazzling
spectacle of glamour ? what
Head frequently described as
?the biggest international fash-
ion show free-for-all.?
