Fashionistas’ day out

[1]

Nothing excites a woman more than a day out for shopping. And if the shopping extravaganza is at a place where the new trends are all available under one roof, even better! The capital recently hosted a two-day lifestyle exhibition from Hyderabad, “Fashion Yatra” organised by Kamini Saraf and Kiran Sharma.
Kiran, who has been doing the show in Hyderabad for sometime now, wants to explore the other cities and thus, she came to Delhi. “It’s good to come out of the comfort zone and explore a bit. And with the kind of response that the show has got, it may even become a regular affair in Delhi,” she says and adds that they are planning to do the show twice a year.
And while it was good business for the organisers, the shoppers were not complaining either. They were happy to have got some nice dresses and exquisite jewellery.
Geetika Sharma, who was there with her family, was happy to find an anarkali suit at one of the stalls by a Pakistani designer. “I was looking for something like this for quite sometime now and here I have found it,” she chuckled.
Besides the designer stalls that were the most visited by the shoppers, the stalls with young and quirky designs too did well. Fizzy Goblet, a shoe store owned by Laksheeta Govil and Abhinav Mehra, gave a twist to traditional jutis with graphic and colourful prints. It was one of the most sought-after store at the exhibition.
“This is the first time we have put up a stall at an exhibition and it has done tremendously well,” says Laksheeta, a fashion student who thinks experimenting with designs is the new trend and that’s why something funky, clicks well with the shoppers.
Another interesting feature was an art stall by Art Inc. that displayed quirky artefacts. “By putting up an art stall at a fashion exhibition, we are just trying to make art accessible among all,” says a spokesperson from Art Inc.
