Hi Everyone,
India is set to become the youngest country by 2020.
Yes,
even I was surprised reading this and then a smile floated on my face.
Fact - Every third person in an Indian city today is a
youth.
In about seven years, the median individual in India will be
29 years, very likely a city-dweller, making it the youngest country in the
world. India is set to experience a dynamic transformation as the
population burden of the past turns into a demographic dividend.
With such an amazing demographic dividend, comes the
responsibility of giving opportunities to youth to realize their dreams and
show their true potential.
I have been part of few such campaigns; however Max Fashions
has taken the challenge face on and brought forward an amazing platform for
Indian youth.
MAX , India’s largest fashion forward brand launched the
third regional round of MAX Elite Model
Look 2016 in Bangalore.
After two successful years of Elite Model look Contest
in India, one of the world’s most prestigious modeling platforms, MAX brings
the 3rd edition of MAX Elite Model Look 2016, that will give a once in a
lifetime opportunity to aspiring male and female models to showcase their
unique personalities and talent to the jury comprising of India’s top fashion
and modeling celebrities. The two winners will represent India internationally
and stand a chance to win an exclusive contract with Elite and become an
international supermodel.
It’s always a pleasure and honor for 'Stylish By Nature' to
be associated with Max Fashion in this initiative, 3 years in a row.
Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Vasanth Kumar,
Executive Director, Max said “We are proud to bring the 3rd edition of MAX Elite Model Look that provides the authentic
platform for young boys and girls to kickstart their modelling careers. The
previous winners of MAX Elite
Model Contest are working with top Indian designers and also participating in
the country’s most prestigious Fashion Weeks. Our association with the world
renowned Elite Model Look, Paris complements Max’s vision of democratizing
fashion and giving the Indian models the right exposure to establish themselves
in the international fashion industry. The Elite Model Look is the leading
Modelling agency from Paris and Max is the main sponsor for Elite Model Look
India which is bringing this to Bangalore for the 3rd consecutive year”
Speaking at the event MARC ROBINSON, Fashion
Director & Licensee Elite Model Look India said, “It is very important to
provide genuine platform like Max Elite Model Look Contest 2016 for aspiring
young boys and girls. The Max Elite Model Look Contest 2016 is focused at
discovering raw talent and fresh faces and the entire contest is conducted in real-time
at malls where aspiring contestants, both boys and girls are selected by
India’s most prominent personalities from fashion and modelling circuit”.
The Bangalore Regional Casting took place in Phoenix
Market City, Bangalore on 11th September,
2016 and witnessed a huge turnout of fresh faces and enthusiastic young boys
and girls. The jury consisted of prominent Modeling and Fashion Industry
celebrities – Marc J. Robinson (Franchisee, Elite Model Look), Vasanth Kumar
(Executive Director, Max Fashion), Manoviraj Khosla (Fashion Designer) and
Nicole Faria (Former Miss Earth 2010). The support from the cheering fans and
guidance from the experts turned this contest into a memorable and exciting
experience for the young aspiring contenders. The contestants were shortlisted
based on criteria like their ramp walk, first impression and photogenic appeal and
will now compete in the final selection round in National Casting along with
contestants shortlisted from other cities including Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad,
Chandigarh & Mumbai.
MAX Elite Model Look team is touring 6 cities across
India (Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore and Chandigarh) with six castings
that will take place from 27th August to 1st October to hand pick the best
talents and choose the next Supermodel from India. The winners are selected
based on their photogenic qualities, their personalities and their natural
beauty, but also for their potential to correspond to current fashion trends.
At the end of the day, the Elite Model Look jury will choose 16 contestants who
will participate in the India’s Final. The ultimate goal is to win a place in
the World Final.
I was amazed to witness huge turnup of participants this
year in Bangalore.
This made me curious and on my interaction with MARC
ROBINSON,
for his views on the talent and potential of candidates, he
mentioned with a big grin that he is quite confident about the talent which he
procured this time and these models match international standards.
Winners were quite elated and all geared to work hard
towards the Finale.
Styling them into Max Fashion new Autumn Winter collection
was the next on agenda.
The new collection is inspired from 'Urban Streets'
Street style has become just as major as the runway shows themselves.
Since starting out with grungy origins, the extensive series of urban clothing is seen to be taking a more stylish and sophisticated look. New collection at Max Fashions is taking the urban street style scene by storm, with the kicks, clothes, and gear now in perpetual demand.
From fun prints, interesting tattoos, monochromatic color schemes and futuristic looking pieces .... I decided on comfortable yet chic outfits for the shoot.
Urban Streets is a crossing of street wear with active
elements and high end fashion, while generating a relaxed and youthful
expression for the new age you. It talks about looking good whenever and
wherever you are. From street chic to casual daywear, Urban Street talks about
staying smart and staying on top of your game always.
Taking on the street style, models were quite comfortable
and happy enjoying vivid colors and fits from this collection.
