| An evening of glamour with a cause |
| By Jyoti Kalsi, Special to Gulf News |
| The Indian Ladies Association, Dubai, arranged a fashion show by FAE boutique at the Indian Consulate Auditorium, Dubai, last week.
The event was conceived and organised by Girija Sinha, wife of the Indian Consul General, Yash Sinha, and patron of the ILA. While welcoming the guests Girija Sinha made it clear that the event was not just a fashion show � it was for fashion with a purpose; and the purpose was to urge all the women present to join the ILA and help it to do meaningful work. In a speech straight from the heart, she spoke about her desire to make the ILA, which was established 25 years ago, an organisation that actively helps those in need. �Indians are the largest expatriate community in Dubai and we have amongst us many well-qualified and talented women who can contribute to the community in various ways. There are labourers, housemaids and others who need our help. We can also help children with special needs, old people in hospices and many others. �I strongly feel that women who are privileged should try to help those less privileged, and the ILA can be the perfect forum for us to get together and do something meaningful,� she said. She thanked her husband for supporting her initiative whole-heartedly and exhorted the men in the audience to similarly support their wives and daughters in working for the community through the ILA. The fashion show by FAE featured the latest collections by several Indian designers ranging from well-known names, such as Ritu Kumar, Satya Paul, Amber and Shirin and Malini Ramani, to young and upcoming designers Rupal, Anju Sant Kumar and Varija Bajaj. The creations showcased on the catwalk included stunning bridal wear, stylish ethnic garments, smart and wearable fusion and western casual attire and a range of beautifully coordinated accessories. The models wore diamond jewellery by Dhamani. The entertaining show was directed by Achala Sachdev and the make-up and hair were by MAC and Splendour Beauty and Hair Centre, respectively. |
