BENGALURU: Hosted at Bangalore Central, and set against the backdrop of the Bengaluru sunset and the Metro dashing by, the Kids Fashion Festival Week made for a picturesque event. Sixty-five kids walked the ramp, modelling the new spring collection by Bangalore Central.
Organised by the JJ Fitness and Grooming Experts, this was the second edition of the festival. Children from the ages of five to 15, donned summer hues. “It’s not just a fashion show, but a personality development programme,” says the owner of JJ Fitness and Grooming Experts, Jyothsna Venkatesh, adding, “Children are often extroverts in their own homes, but introverted outside. We wanted to change that.”
The fashion show began with an audition round, and was a culmination of six-week long weekend workshops on grooming, apart from Zumba and personality development. Jatin Soni, the co-owner and an MMA champion, also held yoga classes for the participants.
The evening began with a short introduction, after which the kids took to the ramp, showing no hesitation.
The showstopper was Veena Jain, Mrs India Globe 2017. Dressed in a magenta gown, she walked the ramp along with the children. “It’s a great confidence booster,” she says about the event. “I feel kids, especially today, really need that boost to overcome stage fear. JJ Experts are the best, and no one else in the city provides such an all-round package for kids,” she says.
