It’s the divinity of the Carnatic notes of singer M.S Subbulakshmi which made Tanishq launch a special edition of gold coins to commemorate her.
Paying tribute to this Carnatic singer, who was known as much for her humanitarian work, as for music, Tanishq unveiled a limited edition of gold coins, weighing 2gms, 4gms and 8gms with an engraved image of her. Also on offer with the purchase of coins is a book of memoirs that captures significant landmarks of the legend’s life and gives readers an insight into her musical journey.
The coin was launched in Chennai by acclaimed Carnatic classical vocalists Dr. M Balamurlikrishna and Sudha Raghunathan with an aim of making contribution toward the singer’s favored causes of cancer and diabetes research. The proceeds will go to The Cancer Institute and the TAG-VHS Diabetes Research Centre, Chennai.
Speaking about the initiative, CK Venkataraman, COO, Tanishq said, “M.S. Subbulakshmi epitomizes the rich cultural heritage of our country. Carnatic classical music forms an integral part of our tradition. This initiative from Tanishq is a tribute to this art form as it pays tribute to the evergreen maestro and the phenomenal contribution she has made to the world of music.”

The donation will be used for the projects of the trust that focus on preservation of historical Korean sites and cultural resources in Korea.
On the other hand, the exhibit running from April 26 to May 12, 2012 shows striking harmony between the Italian craftsmanship of Gucci’s archival pieces and Korean artisans’ worked as seen through approximately 1,500 furniture and accessory items that boast 300 years of history in Korean traditional houses, known as ‘Hanok.’
Gucci’s 14 years of high fashion and social endeavors in the region are put by Patrizio di Marco, Gucci President and CEO, in a manner, “Korea is an essential market for Gucci. We are dedicated not only to serving our sophisticated Korean customers with exclusive services and products, but also to benefiting the Korean community through on-going social investments.”
Another initiative by the brand is voiced by its Creative Director who lately announced 5-year scholarship initiative to support university students who are majoring in fashion-related fields to develop their talent and career. On this special occasion, Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini appeared in front of 450 senior university students for a question-and-answer session titled, ‘In Conversation with Frida Giannini’.
The program in partnership with Korea Student Aid Foundation will see Gucci awarding bursary aid for five students for a five-year period. The program will not only help students financially, but will also support their career aspirations in fashion by providing them with the exclusive opportunity to visit Gucci’s leather goods factory in Florence and fashion show in Milan.
On the occasion Frida put, “Today I was overwhelmed by the passion Korean students have for achieving their academic and professional goals, and I am delighted to support these talented future generations with our new Gucci Scholarship Program. In addition to financial aid, we are especially proud to offer career support that will bring students to Italy to gain international experience in the fashion industry.”
