We have a love-love relationship with Fashion TV—if we're ever at a fashion week somewhere FTV is available, you'll find us glued to the set, even after a long day of shows. Looks like India isn't such a fan, though. The government has suspended Fashion TV on grounds of obscenity—for airing footage of topless models at a show last year. "The visuals were found to be obscene, denigrating women and were not suitable for children and unrestricted public exhibition," said the ministry of information and broadcasting. [BBC]
