500 Models Light Up the Runway with Swadeshi Spirit
Where Fashion Meets Purpose: 500 Models Celebrate ‘Made in India’
Mumbai
(Anil Bedag): The “Made in India Swadeshi Runway Season 8,” held on
March 28 and 29 at the Uttar Bharatiya Sangh in Bandra, brought together
fashion and social awareness in a spectacular showcase. With over 500
models walking the ramp, the event emerged as a powerful platform for
young talent, creativity, and the spirit of ‘Swadeshi.’
Organized
in collaboration with the IMFL (Institute of Modeling, Fashion and
Lifestyle), the show aimed to promote homegrown talent and provide
opportunities to aspiring models, designers, and artists from across the
country. Runway Director Deepti Vora and her team executed the event
seamlessly, supported by around 200 makeup artists, 20 fashion
designers, and 50 stylists who contributed to its grand success.
The
concept of the show was envisioned by Sonia Meyers, who received
support from government bodies, Bollywood, and the fashion industry. She
is also the founder of the Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Bharat Puraskar,
launched in 2017. The presence of Dr. Kalam’s family members added a
special touch to the occasion.
Beyond
fashion, the event also highlighted important social causes, including
promoting police helplines and empowering the transgender community.
Supported by the Indian Army and police, the show stood out not just as a
fashion event, but as a meaningful initiative blending style with
social impact.
