NYFW 2016: Desi Girls Set the International Ramp Ablaze
BENGALURU: They not only set new benchmarks in the Indian fashion scene for time to come, but also captured the imagination of the leading fashion houses of the world. The soaring anticipation at NYFW this year of hundreds of people who filed into the historic Skylight at Moynihan Station in midtown Manhattan, added an excited fervor and electric buzz environment.
Catching the attention of the international fashion circuit, here are Top Models from India who challenged all the odds and gave one more proud moment to India:
Bhumika Arora
After posting pictures of her with her girlfriends on Instagram, the pretty brunette caught the eye of a fashion photographer. She soon scored her first cover for an Indian magazine, marking the real start of her career. In February 2014, Bhumika walked her first international runway show at Paris Fashion Week for Dries Van Noten. The 27-year-old has walked the runways in New York, London, and Milan. Also, she has landed some big gigs including Alexander Wang and Marc Jacobs in New York, Gareth Pugh in London, and Bottega Veneta and Salvatore Ferragamo in Milan.
“Having not seen a fresh Indian face on the scene since Ujjwala, it’s amazing to see Bhumika’s rise open wider doors for diversity on the runway and pave the way for other Indian models,” says Casting Director James Scully. She awes people, not only by her beauty but also by the intelligence and grace with which she carries herself.
