Shillong
emerging as a fashion hub
Shillong
(Meghalaya): Several youths in Shillong are exploring career
options in fashion designing or modeling world, which till recently
remained a dream for most of the local boys and girls here.
Today, Shillong is fast emerging as a fashion hub with fashion
shows becoming a part of almost every event. Earlier, a lot
of promising youths, despite their willingness were unsuccessful
to enter the glamour world, particularly due to lack of exposure
in the quest for the right platform. Devarati Sanyal, a student
at National Institute of Fashion Technology, Shillong, feels
that northeast has a lot to offer when it comes to fashion,
it only needs exposure. “Fashion, if you call it that way from
northeast has got a lot of potential. It's just needs a little
discovery and guidance,” said Sanyal. From tiny tots to any
school, festivals and college fests, fashion shows invariably
form an important feature of almost every event. Upasana Khongsngi,
a local youth, said that fashion trend of Shillong, largely
influenced by rock music, is not much known due to lack of exposure.
“Both fashion and Shillong goes hand in hand but the reason
why we are not being able to make it at the international level
is may be due to lack of exposure,” said Upasana Khongsngi.
