Mai Mumbai: Fashion for Relief

33 Indian designers and 20 international designers joined hands with Vikram Chatwal and a host of other celebrities including international supermodel Naomi Campbell to raise funds for the victims of the Mumbai terror attacks on 26/11.



Rahul Khanna was the host for the star studded show. He said, “Let us not forget 26/11 when the world watched our icons burn. We saw the turmoil for 60 hours. Many people died because there were not enough ambulances to transport them to the hospitals from the station. Fashion for Relief is to show that we are back in business and here to conduct business. There will be a silent auction for all the outfits showcased on the ramp and the proceeds will go to Teesta Setalvad and the Citizens for Justice and Peace Group to buy ambulances.”



Naomi Campbell stormed the ramp to a burst of applause in a gorgeous hot pink Vikram Phadnis kurta with silver work and jeans. We know why she is a supermodel!



Vikram Chatwal followed suit in an Arjun Khanna khadi jacket which was navy blue with red embroidery and jeans.



The audience started clapping and whistling when Arjun and Mehr Rampal walked together in Rohit Bal, of course as they both have been his muses in the past. Arjun wore a lavish black and maroon kurta whil Mehr sparkled in a gorgeous green, red and gold kurta.
