| February 2, 2010 | Models audition for ensuing Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week | |
New Delhi:The hunt for the 'New Faces Going Places-Ramp Scorchers' took place here on Tuesday, as aspirant models from across the country and abroad took part in the audition for the upcoming Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week. Touted as one of Asia's largest fashion trade events, the Wills Lifestyle
India Fashion Week (WIFW-Autumn/Winter Edition, 2010) will be jointly hosted by
the India's apex fashion body, the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI). The
auditions for this premier event, witnessed an overwhelming response from aspiring
models from across the country and abroad. Models walked the ramp displaying their
oomph factor as jury members judged the models' overall personality, gait, presentation
traits and ramp mannerism. One of the aspiring Indian models said that although
the participation of foreign models makes it tough for them but they are prepared
for it. "We do get a platform to sort of come up and present fresh faces but definitely
the competition is really tough since we got now foreign faces also here. But
we always hope for the best and give our best shots," said Meghna Kaushik, an
aspirant model. On their part, designers mentioned it does not matter where the
model belongs to, but what is more relevant is that the model should have the
right face, attitude and physique. "I think it is a free world, wherever they
come from east or west or north is irrelevant. In modeling really should be something,
which is free for all and equal for everybody whether it's Indian models or foreign
models. It is an equal platform and we are really here to judge who the best models
are. It makes no difference where they come from," said Payal Jain, a designer
and one of the jury members. Sunil Sethi, President of FDCI, said that the platform
provides an opportunity for new faces to create a niche for themselves in the
industry. "We need a lot of new talents. Our industry is there to help people
in every field. So here also we want to have a lot of new faces, which have not
got the opportunity and FDCI has so many fashions, you know gala (events)... where
almost 50 models take part each time and sometimes even more depending on the
pool. So this gives an opportunity to the young girls as well who have not had
this opportunity," said Sethi. The Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW-Autumn/Winter Edition) will be staged at the National Small Industries Corporation (NSIC) Exhibition Complex, in New Delhi between March 24 and 28. |
