Sunday, September 2, 2012 at 1:52 PM

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

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

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 *__*

'PURE LOVE' on the Ramp by Sumit and Amit

Last Friday , Delhi witnessed Heavenly Magic on the Runway at India Fashion Summit , where two of my Favourite Designers Amit Talwar and Sumit Sawhney came together to Celebrate '

Runway of divine love' : Inspired by Prema, the supreme love of the Gopis for Lord Krishna, Jewelry designer Sumit Sawhney presented his Sawariya collection, at the IFFD Finale Fashion Show on August 31st, Friday at The Grand, Vasant Kunj. Especially designed to complement designer Amit Talwar’s clothes celebrating the theme where Gopis are alluring their beloved Lord, Sumit Sawhney unfolds the era through his jewelry.

Stunning Barkha Kaul ( DJ from Delhi) , was the show stopper for designer Amit Talwar and Sumit Sawhney and sizzled in the beautiful Sawariya necklace ornamented with real kundan crafted by Designer Sumit Sawhney.

Immensely applauded for his Sawariya collection, Sumit Sawhney gave IFFD’s Fashion Summit a pious end. Overwhelmed by the response, he commented on the occasion, “The colors that I have used in the collection depict pure love and unrelenting beauty. The idea was to reinvent the sanctity of that era and reflect it through the delicate jewelry without losing its essence. I loved designing this collection and I am glad that the jewelry was appreciated and liked by the audience.”

The designer fused hand painted miniatures over gemstones that are framed with real kundan. Handcrafted in silver with precious and semiprecious gemstones with 22kt Gold layering, Sumit Sawhney passionately recreated the era of deep attraction and pure love with this collection. The innovative jewelry designer used festive colors like, red, the color of passion and love, lapis blue and turquoise, color of Krishna. Stone carvings of the idol in red coral framed and ornamented around gemstones had a dramatic charm to them and created a majestic aura. The collection also included a few pieces portraying Kanha or Bal Krishna in oxidized frames.

I have always been a fan of Sumit's jewellery and now in LOVE with Amits Bridal Lehangas aswell...View the last Post I did on Sumit Here

I will be back soon with the Post about my Show that happened later at the same event..
