Fanna On Fashion
Haute couture comes to town with Pune Times Mirror Fashion Extravaganza. Glamour and glitz had never dazzled more
It was a night that sparkled with sequins and the swish of exquisite fabrics, as models and showstoppers took over the runway at the Hyatt, Kalyani Nagar, exhibiting exquisite designs that set the town ablaze at the Pune Times Mirror Fashion Extravaganza. The heady night of glamour and glitz had the city fashion connoisseurs savouring every moment, and desiring more.
The spectacular affair would not have been possible without the support of partners. Special thanks to the presenting sponsor Vinay Aranha, powered by sponsor AAY India by Ashleysha. Standing in support were also the DIVA Pageants and International School of Design (INSD).
Immense gratitude to smile partner Jehangir OraCare Dental Centre, auto partner La Maison Citroen, hair and makeup partner ISAS International Beauty School, stylist Shreya Shorewala, jewellery partner Zoieria and choreographer Pooja Singh.
In a resplendent display of haute couture, celebrity designer Sophiya Gupta’s (Soshai by Sofi) collection of lehengas and sarees in Indian wear and chic dresses and gowns in western wear dazzled everyone present. INSD’s collection for the evening titled Survive and Revive took the heat a notch up.
The designs, created with muslin in various forms, highlighted the revival aspect of their creations. The singular use of multi-coloured fabrics complemented the designs.
