My Designer Moment: College's Showcase at The India Fashion Summit 2012

People who follow Me on Twitter and Facebook know that I am a Fashion Design Student and have a Label called 'Shaily from Delhi' -by Shaily Khera . I have been talking about My College Fashion Show since April this year.. It was scheduled on June 15th , but later got postponed and then never happened .So when recently our College 'IIFT' participated in the India Fashion Summit, it was like a dream come true because this event was bigger and better than any College Fashion Show that has ever happened. And Cherry on the Cake was.. My designed Outfit was chosen to Walk the Ramp Twice.. The Faculty liked it so much *__*
The Garment I designed for the Show is inspired from my childhood memories of all the plays and cultural activities I participated in.. so you'll see coming together of a Oriental Manipuri Garment and an western Ball Gown.

I was working Backstage with the models so couldn't click much pics but I did capture a few shots in Green-Room and Backstage .

I thought I am some Pro Photographer and look what this pic turned out to be 

Watching the show from the Green-Room

Just Before Our Range went on the Ramp.. (L to R) Wandy (wearing My designed Grament , Me and some model who was ever ready to pose.. :P

She was a real CuteHeart to Pose Like that <3

The Aww!! Moment.. 

Rite after the show , all the Student designers were called on the Ramp to accompany our College's Chairman , Mr. Lal.. and Me being Me.. PUSHED everyone aside , held Mansi's Hand and Walked till the Head-Ramp to take a bow :P

Celebrating after the Showcase

After Party . (L to R) Nidhi ma'am ( Director , IIFT ,North-Delhi Centre ) , Mansi & Me

After the whole event was over Mansi and I joined the mob for the MAD Dancing Session . Celebrity Singer Bhuppi was performing his famous numbers and not even a single Firang (Foreigner) was seen sitting. Everyone is the Ball room was Dancing.. Except Out College Faculties.. they said its not correct for them to join students in this MADNESS.. so we made her pose for my camera( Look at the pic above) and then Like Beggars we stuffed ourselves with Food :P
Came back home with a Great Experience and Story to share.. Couldn't control my excitement so spent an hour tell Mom and Dad all about the Event and showing the all the pictures that were clicked though out the Day.. It was surely , One of the Most Memorable Days of My Life..and what made it more Special was the Feeling of Participating in the Summit along with some Eminent Indian Designers like Pam Mehta , Rosy Alluwalia , Amit Talwar , Sumit Sawhney ....(read my last post about the same event Here )

DREAM COME TRUE *__*

Also, an Outfit Post is coming up soon from the same day, featuring Fellow Bloggers

'PURE LOVE' on the Ramp by Sumit and Amit

Last Friday , Delhi  witnessed Heavenly Magic on the Runway at India Fashion Summit , where two of my Favourite   Designers Amit Talwar and Sumit Sawhney came together to Celebrate  '

Runway of divine love' : Inspired by Prema, the supreme love of the Gopis for Lord Krishna, Jewelry designer Sumit Sawhney presented his Sawariya collection, at the IFFD Finale Fashion Show on August 31st, Friday at The Grand, Vasant Kunj. Especially designed to complement designer Amit Talwar’s clothes celebrating the theme where Gopis are alluring their beloved Lord, Sumit Sawhney unfolds the era through his jewelry.

Stunning Barkha Kaul ( DJ from Delhi) , was the show stopper for designer Amit Talwar and Sumit Sawhney and sizzled in the beautiful Sawariya necklace ornamented with real kundan crafted by Designer Sumit Sawhney.

DJ Barkha , The Show Stopper for Amit and Sumit 

Immensely applauded for his Sawariya collection, Sumit Sawhney gave IFFD’s Fashion Summit a pious end. Overwhelmed by the response, he commented on the occasion, “The colors that I have used in the collection depict pure love and unrelenting beauty. The idea was to reinvent the sanctity of that era and reflect it through the delicate jewelry without losing its essence. I loved designing this collection and I am glad that the jewelry was appreciated and liked by the audience.”

The designer fused hand painted miniatures over gemstones that are framed with real kundan. Handcrafted in silver with precious and semiprecious gemstones with 22kt Gold layering, Sumit Sawhney passionately recreated the era of deep attraction and pure love with this collection. The innovative jewelry designer used festive colors like, red, the color of passion and love, lapis blue and turquoise, color of Krishna. Stone carvings of the idol in red coral framed and ornamented around gemstones had a dramatic charm to them and created a majestic aura. The collection also included a few pieces portraying Kanha or Bal Krishna in oxidized frames.

I have always been a fan of Sumit's jewellery and now in LOVE with Amits Bridal Lehangas aswell...View the last Post I did on Sumit Here

I will be back soon with the Post about my Show that happened later at the same event..

STRANDS Spa and Salon : My Experience and Review

August 14th, I was invited by Strands Spa and Salon located on the 1st Floor , Sector-4 Market in Dwarka. Strands Salon and Span is a Chain of more than 20 branches across Indian and abroad. Their main centre is Located in the City Known for its Beauty and Serenity , Chandigarh and an International branch and Academy in London..Apart from Dwarka Centre,  they have 2 more branches in Delhi -Patel Nagar and GK .

Apart from their Salon and Spa services , Strands is also known for its training Academy. Their Academy has an Aluminium for some Talented Hair-Dressers and Beauty-Experts. Strands is growing leaps and bounds and is so the urge of the brand to outdo the meaning of word "Attractive".

Team at Dwarka Branch and Training Centre 

Strands Provide a vast range of beauty and skin services to Spa treatments by trained Artist and Staff with A-class products like Loreal . With Separate Rooms dedicated for Spa , Beauty-Treatments, Make-up , Nails and an Efficient Team of Trained Professionals they believe in Sustaining Quality and Relationships with their Customers.

My Experience:

Knowing, I have never had any sought of Beauty Treatment EVER.They were sweet enough to customize a Package because I am against getting anything that's Called FACIAL to be Done ever on My Face , they gave me a gentle Face Massage and Fruit Cleaning in a special Beauty-Treatment Room with Dim Lighting for Perfect Relaxation . Lady who gave me this treatment was patient enough for all my interference and questions but kept telling me to, Close my Eyes and just Relax..

Beauty-Treatment Room

Spa RoomSalon

Nail Bar

Academy 

One Major Reason to Visit there is the CCD Coffee Machine.. 

They welcome their customers with a Smile 

Yay Points:

* Customer Service

* Friendly Staff

* Amazing Coffee

* Reasonable Price 

* The Customize according to the Customer's requirement.

Nay Points:

* Its Location. Its not a real problem but its located quite far from where I live so travel was quite a hassle.

Do I Recommend  it : YES

My Ratting : 4/5

Officially 1 : Time to Thank..

(P.S.- This Post was written on 25th August .. but I am posting it now.. :p )

I don't know how to put so many emotions into one Blog Post.. But I am going to try my best..
The whole day passed like yet another Saturday of the week until now.. When I had to pen down this Post..

I still remember, Last year around the same time.. I was busy talking to my friend Parul Parmar telling her the name I decided for My Style Blog.. "Confessionz Of a Closet" and later sharing all the excitement with Nitika Mahajan and Aditie ..!! It was a BIG DEAL back then for me to make an account on Blogger and remember a Password.. Later clicking pictures then banner to editing.. From Clicking pictures from my Blackberry to now with a DSLR .. I have come a long way..

The Journey has been Exciting , Tough , Emotional , Enriching at the same time.. I am a "Tech Handicap" and Now I have, I don't know how many  accounts and each password is on my tips..

Downloading and Editing were Alien Concepts for Me.. Making a Banner was like another such Task.. And Today I got a Blog Banner as Blog's 1st Anniversary Gift from a very Sweet and Talented Girl Jas Sahota .. Look at the detailing she has put in.. from My statement Necklace to the watch I wear..This Banner has it All..

Talking of All.. All this while I have been waiting for my Blog to turn 1 and there is a reason for that.. I am an Air Sign..so for Me , to continue something for a period of time is Impossible.. This Blog has been a Self Test And I am Surprised to see Myself COMMITTED to this BLOG..
That's why I call it my Baby.. Like a Baby Gives Mother a New Life ,Teaches her all new about her own self.. Likewise this Blog has been that New Baby for Me.. I know a Lot Today,that I didn't know till Last Year , Not just about Myself .But Life aswell....

Past 1 year  was like a Roller coaster Ride.. I can't believe I am talking "Past 1 year'' right now :p
I met a lot of New People.. Bloggers, PRs , Readers.. And I am Fortunate enough to have few Good Relations that I am sure are for LIFE..

Few really Important People and Some Unforgettable Moments..From My One yr Journey as a Blogger..

I was Invited to Judge a Fashion Show at IILM's College Fest..

And Being Recognized By India's Leading PR Agency is an Honour .. This Made the Day even more Special ..

I am sure, I have missed a few people and memories.. But I want to thank all You guys , who made this day..and this journey so Enriching and Special ..
