Fashion Ka Hai Yeh Jalwa!

By Ratnika Sharma

People are ready to pay any amount to see sizzling beauties and hot
dudes walk the ramp and some fashion freaks just want to find out what
is in vogue these days. Nevertheless, Fashion Show finds huge audience
and so did Milan too for its Fashion event.
The theme this time was ‘One night at the Oscars’ or ‘When East meets
west’. Most teams opted for the former theme which was a relief
because that had more options of better costumes and styling.
Practically speaking it is difficult to mix eastern and western
clothing and come up with a decent combination. Though, one of the
participating teams did refute the above statement by displaying a set
of smart apparel designs by mixing both worlds.
The first prize winners were the hunks from New College, who fetched
points on choreography, costume, music and looks. They sent the girls
swooning over them as they walked the ramp. They won a whopping sum of
Rs. 30,000.
The second prize was won by the SRM University team that also took the
Oscars theme and the participants scorched the ramp with their
costumes and choreography.
But amidst all the glitterati, people just gaped when the judge for
the event walked up the stage. Clad in saffron robes with long beard
and hair, Christian Faber also known as Swami Pranavananda led the
crowd to having second thoughts if they were in the right place. This
Frenchman turned Swami is a fashion designer by profession and owns a
fashion house called Fashions International in the city. As he gave
away the prizes and congratulated the winners he remarked, “Dare to be
what you want to be and don’t be afraid”. The other judges along with
him were Nazia Syed, a well known fashion designer and Prabhu Solomon,
film director.
With this event, Milan came to a glamorous end with a promise to
return next year with better and more interesting events and celebrate
life to its fullest!
