My Designer Moment: College's Showcase at The India Fashion Summit 2012

People who follow Me on Twitter and Facebook know that I am a Fashion Design Student and have a Label called 'Shaily from Delhi' -by Shaily Khera . I have been talking about My College Fashion Show since April this year.. It was scheduled on June 15th , but later got postponed and then never happened .So when recently our College 'IIFT' participated in the India Fashion Summit, it was like a dream come true because this event was bigger and better than any College Fashion Show that has ever happened. And Cherry on the Cake was.. My designed Outfit was chosen to Walk the Ramp Twice.. The Faculty liked it so much *__*
The Garment I designed for the Show is inspired from my childhood memories of all the plays and cultural activities I participated in.. so you'll see coming together of a Oriental Manipuri Garment and an western Ball Gown.

I was working Backstage with the models so couldn't click much pics but I did capture a few shots in Green-Room and Backstage .

I thought I am some Pro Photographer and look what this pic turned out to be 

Watching the show from the Green-Room

Just Before Our Range went on the Ramp.. (L to R) Wandy (wearing My designed Grament , Me and some model who was ever ready to pose.. :P

She was a real CuteHeart to Pose Like that <3

The Aww!! Moment.. 

Rite after the show , all the Student designers were called on the Ramp to accompany our College's Chairman , Mr. Lal.. and Me being Me.. PUSHED everyone aside , held Mansi's Hand and Walked till the Head-Ramp to take a bow :P

Celebrating after the Showcase

After Party . (L to R) Nidhi ma'am ( Director , IIFT ,North-Delhi Centre ) , Mansi & Me

After the whole event was over Mansi and I joined the mob for the MAD Dancing Session . Celebrity Singer Bhuppi was performing his famous numbers and not even a single Firang (Foreigner) was seen sitting. Everyone is the Ball room was Dancing.. Except Out College Faculties.. they said its not correct for them to join students in this MADNESS.. so we made her pose for my camera( Look at the pic above) and then Like Beggars we stuffed ourselves with Food :P
Came back home with a Great Experience and Story to share.. Couldn't control my excitement so spent an hour tell Mom and Dad all about the Event and showing the all the pictures that were clicked though out the Day.. It was surely , One of the Most Memorable Days of My Life..and what made it more Special was the Feeling of Participating in the Summit along with some Eminent Indian Designers like Pam Mehta , Rosy Alluwalia , Amit Talwar , Sumit Sawhney ....(read my last post about the same event Here )

DREAM COME TRUE *__*

He added, “There is a distinct synergy in what Kalki wears and what she has chosen. Kalki’s youth appeal and elegance coincide perfectly with the fashion quotient of our exclusive brands. We are convinced that online shoppers will love to wear what Kalki has picked out under Star N Style.”

Trying to look like Kalki is now just a click away. Very carefully chosen clothes that match her current style and look are now available only on Myntra.com! Starting 3^rd August, online shoppers can log on to www.myntra.com/starnstyle and get shopping!

My Republic Day Confession..

Apart from the morning ritual of watching - Republic Day Parade..Mom and I share this family ritual of wearing tri-color glass Bangles through out the day.. we are absolutely superstitious about the Tri-Color.. 

I Believe  we Desis ( we Indian's are Globally know with this name) have an edge over other when it comes to Fashion.. I love experimenting with both the styles.. coz Indian Body-types cant be described in sizes..  like a UK size -6 need not be an Indian size - 6.. we have bottoms heavy..  

For a Day look-  the White Zara Blosue wid Bishop selves would be my pic with my all time favorite Pepe Jeans Jeggings..  Orange Wedge heels that i picked up recently from Zara( my current favorite ..) stacked up bracelets / bangles in tri- color and gold.. and nude lips..wid just a tinch of lip balm.. and orange eye-shadow & Blush to finish the look.. 

For a Nite Look-  I love the Green  Blazer Gifted by my Uncle . I'll again combine it with the White Zara Tunic and Jeggings, Orange Zara wedge heels -- and keep it simple with accessories( no blings) I love thin chains.. i love to wear all of them together....dragging all the attention to my pout with the latest Orange lip-color from Inglot..n  keeping the rest of the make up neutral..will give make it a perfect Cocktail look..

 Apart from the regular Tri- Color tattoo .. I really like the painting my nails in Green, white and Orange.. a dash of tri- color on the eyes with a liner pencil or eye-shadow.. 

  

A Tip To Keep--Just keep it simple , chic and you.. coz the day is about feeling special of your own identity.. of your own self.. and I just love what Coco Chanel said once " I don't do Fashion .. I am Fashion" 

                                                          xoxo- Shaily
