Welcome to a special, super luxe preview of Design One in Delhi, for MissMalini. The Sahachari Foundation presented an exclusive preview of Design One 2012 – an exhibition promoting upcoming designers and women entrepreneurs. The preview was in celebration of the support that they have received for their various charitable endeavours, from the fashion fraternity and Delhi society.
The Leela Palace New Delhi, the preview provided a glamorous sneak peek of what can be expected at Design One. The designers each chose a muse each to showcase their creation. Atsu chose Pernia Qureshi, Neesha Singh was modeling a Nidhi Tholia design. Surily Goel flew in from Bombay and Lakshmi Nair graciously agreed to wear her favourite garment from Surily’s collection. Ammu Saidi adorned Bina Goenka’s stunning jewelry and Shivan-Narresh showcased the best in resortwear with help from Tanisha Mohan. Sangeeta Assomull looked stunning in a Cherie D creation. Last but not the least was Sunanda Tharoor in a gorgeous sari by Abha Dalmia.
Design One is the brainchild of the ladies of Sahachari Foundation. The motivational factors behind the initiative are to acknowledge the extraordinary talent that resides in creative designers, and to raise funds for deserving NGOs such as Victoria Memorial School for the Blind, Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Apne Aap Women’s Collective – a shelter for children of sex workers in Mumbai, St. Jude India Childcare Centres and Muktangan.
The exhibition presents an opportunity for participants to connect with consumers in a burgeoning market and for shoppers to choose from a variety of exciting design options that fulfill the criteria of quality and exclusivity. Featured at Design One is fine jewellery, designer clothes, bags, foot wear & home accessories & yes, there’s a pet clothes designer too!
Design One will be held at the Grand Ballroom, Leela Palace Kempinski, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi on 13th March from 1:00 pm to 7.00 pm & 14th March from 10.00 am to 7:00 pm. Entry is free.
I’m personally looking to shop for clothes by Atsu for his timeless elegance, Shivan & Narresh for their pret glam resort wear & Nikasha for her beautifully bright colours! I also launch a pop up store for my dessert brand Dolce which will feature gourmet take-away pastry!
