It is almost impossible to believe the country that has produced talented scores of models like Madhu Sapre, Milind Soman, Carol Gracias, Candice Pinto, Alesia Raut and more, is struggling to have a recognized face to lead a show in present days. If you don’t really go international, or if you don’t have something to fall back on besides modelling, the next step has to be Bollywood.” It’s just that Bollywood is something that everybody wants to do after modelling. Raut was quoted saying, “If there is a demand, there is a supply. The model who has walked for international brands Yves Saint Laurent, Roberto Cavalli and Dolce & Gabbana firmly believes Bollywood is one of the reasons why the Indian fashion industry has not produced supermodels. Indian supermodel Ujjwala Raut rightly once said, ‘Being a showstopper is a model’s birthright’ in a 2016 interview. ? Thank you for giving us the opportunity to celebrate you and your brother #gianniversace tonight, whose magic has driven so many of us ! SO MUCH LOVE ✨Ī post shared by Gigi Hadid on at 3:03pm PDT I felt so much today, and I feel so grateful to all of you for your life-long inspiration. Influential Models Setting the Runway on Fire These top male and female models have been lining up the best of fashion shows around the world and not unnecessarily side-lined by cinema stars. There are models and supermodels for the job like Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss, David Gandy, Matthew Noszka, Rob Evans, Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Irina Shayk, Emily Ratajkowski and so, so many more. Hollywood superstars Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr., Jennifer Lawrence or Nicole Kidman do not walk the ramp at Milan, New York, Paris or any other top fashion shows worldwide as showstoppers.
You would not find a similar scenario in the West. However, all the rules are flouted with underserving Bollywood celebs and their relatives taking the position as showstoppers and doing a bad job at it. Modelling is a serious business the male and female models undergo strenuous training to be able to walk a ramp. #LakmeFashionWeek2018 ? #shahidkapoor #mirakapoorĪ post shared by Shamira Fanclub ?❤️?? on at 8:59pm PST The celebrated fashion designer’s collection 'Songs of Summer' was unveiled at Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2018. Shahid dressed up in white bandh-gala while his wifey looked resplendent in matching pastel floral-printed lehenga-choli. However, once you are over the ‘aww-so-cute-couple’ factor, you realize how poorly the two walked the runway.Īnita Dongre’s showstoppers Shahid and Mira turned up as bride and groom at the closing on Day 1. The duo exchanged sweet nothings, indulged in cute PDA including the cliché dupatta getting stuck moments and of course Shahid making his lady love twirl – India’s biggest fashion show saw it all. The lovely couple walked the ramp for Anita Dongre and in the process becoming the most talked about showstoppers of the day. The opening day of the summer spring edition of the biggest fashion event in India belonged to Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor and his gorgeous wife Mira Rajput. How is it that we celebrate "womanhood" and put that on the pedestal, yet cringe at the mention of seeing a woman with a bump walking the ramp? Not anymore, because Bio-Oil's incredible initiative, #YummiliciousWalk, was quite the retort to the ongoing hypocritical celebration of womanhood.Lakme Fashion Week 2018 kicked off in grand style on January 31 in Mumbai’s ITC Grand Central Hotel.
Great to see cute baby bumps being flaunted on stage #BioOil #yummymummy /HocGfHf4SG On the day of celebrating the woman who has given us life, Bio-Oil organised a fashion show with Shveta Salve and Carol Gracias along with 12 expecting mothers.Ī fabulous show by Bio Oil on #MothersDay. That was just a trailer of what the skincare oil brand Bio-Oil recreated on the Mother's Day. Going beyond the boundaries of fashion, Carol Gracias made quite a statement, walking the ramp with a baby bump on the last Lakme Fashion Week last month.
Back off, "perfect bodies"! These moms-to-be have set the ramp on fire like you clearly never can.
