My First Fashion Show






Hi everyone,

I will always remember Sept9th 2010. It was the evening when my brand Avni was launched in a spectacular fashion show at the Liberty Hotel, Boston. Apart from anxious evenings, panic stricken days, and the usual flurry of emotions that had occupied me since I heard I was chosen to participate, it was one of my most prized events of all time.

The fashion show event was smooth and perfect to most observers, but to me it was all about fixing all the last minute problems. Fittings were done an hour before and obviously not all of my clothing is meant to fit a size0 or 00 model. My mother-in-law, Mini, was a godsend as she tacked and pinned all the extra fabric to ensure the look was perfect. Once all the clothes were perfected, the show was about to start and there I was stuck in the elevator that decided to malfunction at the last second. After much scramble and panic, I managed to be back on time to enjoy the wonderful models execute the perfect look and feel. Luckily, I did not have to worry about PR. My husband, aunt and most of our friends did a fabulous job and ensured everyone had information about the clothes and what they stand for. All in all, a huge success. Now its waiting and watching for the press and buzz to continue.

Enjoy the beautiful pics taken by Todd Lee and Dimonika Bray.
