Erratum

Star Lifestyle Issue 34, Volume 8 dated February 3, 2009 featured "Design for Life" a review of the fashion show arranged by Joint United Nations Program on HIV and Aids and United Nations Women's Association of Bangladesh. Regretfully it mentioned "Banglar Mela" as the fourth queue, which would correctly be Emdad Haq's Collection. We regret any inconvenience caused.
