Fashion is not what everyone follows, but it is something that is different from the rest. Walking the ramp is now old fashioned.
A recent fashion event organised by designers Fibin and Imaad in the Madras Boat club gave walking the ramp a new definition.
Not just the outfits but also the location, Adyar River was turned into a ramp for the event. It was a fashion show on a river!
The show went for eight minutes and displayed six haute couture pieces on boats.
International model Erica Packard was the show stopper.

“We chose the river because we were curious to try something new and at the same time something that can become a surprise factor,” designer Fibin Raj said.
Inspiration
“The collection, Impression Le Maroc, was inspired by Morocco’s culture and architecture. Morocco is known for the blue boats. We sailed the dress forms that were fixed on blue boats from the club which were sailed on the river by a team of boys and girls who are rowing champions.”
“People these days are giving more attention to sports of late, be it casual or evening wear; they are looking for a hint of sporty look. Chennai is known for water sports like surfing, rowing and sailing. For a fashion event like this, Adyar River made the cut and we are happy to have taken the right decision.”
“Glimmering with golden, blue lights and fire crackers, the river’s floor gave a totally different feel to the show itself. People were awe-struck as they had never seen a show like this before,” the designer added.
