Not heeding these conventions and breaking the norms, fashion designers and models are now setting new ramp-trends.Īt the Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2017, which was recently held in Mumbai, designer Gauri Pathre of Wandering Whites chose to make her models walk down the ramp without any shoes, keeping it simple and close to her theme. The idea of making the models step into escalated shoe platforms or high-heels has always been to make them appear more poised and tall while making their calf muscles appear slimmer. Unalike of the usual ramp-walk norms which demand women models to step in steep heels, Indian fashion designers are going out there bare and rather refreshingly so.Ĭomplementing their designs, which often revolve around the themes of easiness, earthy factors, nature and rawness, fashion designers in India are making their models kick-off their shoes and walk down the ramps barefoot. Imagine all aspects of it – unique designs, fancy hairstyles, shimmering make-up, cameras flashing and all eyes on them until the eyes roll down to notice the models’ bare-feet! Try imagining a row of models cat-walking down a long-sleek ramp while adorning the latest haute couture range by some famed designer.
