How often have you imagined what it would be like to be a model? ‘A Day in the Life of a Model’, a fun-filled fashion show for a cause may provide some answers.
The novel show will take place at the Holiday Inn on Saturday, October 10 at 8 p.m. with the models displaying five different segments of clothing – lingerie, sports wear, working clothes, early evening and for the grand finale- dinner dance wear. The models will present the latest collection from Bella Vita of Jawatte Road, not on the catwalk as is usually done but in innovative fashion.
There will also be a bridal showcase .The bridal couples will display the latest exquisite collection from Symposium of 235 Galle Road, Colombo 4.
