Smriti Irani's cotton campaign is an instant hit on the Internet.

After her successful #IWearHandloom campaign, union textile minister Smriti Irani is back with a new fashion campaign.

#CottonIsCool aims to promote cotton as a sustainable fabric.

Sharing a photograph of her dressed in a cotton sari, Irani shared: 'I celebrate Indian summers and cotton industry with my #CottonIsCool look. What is your #CottonIsCool look?!'

Within minutes, the campaign took off on Twitter and Instagram with actors, authors and designers sharing their favourite cotton look.

See who all joined the bandwagon.
