ELLE India picks the sexiest Mumbai models at Lakmé Fashion Week
The fashion experts chat up the six sexiest locals to grace the ramp this weekend when Mumbai fashion week kicks off
Lakmé Fashion Week is on its way. So is summer, at least on planet fashion. Beginning this Friday till March 9 fashion career people and news reporters from around the country will gather here to watch the models strut the Summer/Resort 2010 collections.
From among the 20,000 people expected to descend on The Grand Hyatt hotel in Santacruz, ELLE's fashion crew selects six of the sexiest ramp models from Mumbai, India's most cosmopolitan city, to get their view point on this frenetic twice-yearly fashion business event.
Name: Rachel Bayros
My fashion dream is: I have come a long way in India, now I have dreams to make it internationally.
Craziest OMG Lakmé Fashion Week (LFW) moment: Nothing in particular has left an impression on me. I notice the fight between reality and pretence when it comes to this industry. Every person is at a deferent level, I have gathered a lot and learnt a lot from each person I meet. I have learnt how not to take everything seriously and take the good from every person I meet. If an OMG moment does happen, I would laugh about it and find it silly.
Name: Fiona Melissa Thomas
My fashion dream is: To become an internationally recognised print and/or catwalk model.
Craziest OMG LFW moment: A lot of the diva attitudes I've seen have made me think OMG but nothing too crazy...yet.
Name: Gia Johnson Singh
My fashion dream is: To continue working in the most beautiful places in the world. My dream is for that to never end!
Craziest OMG LFW moment: The quick outfit changes within a show can be crazy and totally frantic! Seeing all the girls running through backstage is a funny experience and sometimes our bodies move faster than our heads. I can quite honestly say I've tripped over and even tried to put both legs in the same trousers leg-hole. It's as if all my co-ordination goes out of the window. It's good to be able to laugh at yourself though.
Name: Ashika Pratt
My fashion dream is: Everyday I'm living in a fashion dream, each piece of clothing I get to wear at shows and shoots are pieces of art. I guess being able to take them home at the end of the day would be my dream.
Craziest OMG LFW moment: At fashion weeks there is always good food and a lot of it...anyone who says models don't eat, haven't seen us in between shows!

My fashion dream: For models to be able to wear more skimpy clothes on the ramp and not be attacked by terrorist groups like the Shiv Sena.
Craziest OMG LFW moment: The media publishing pictures of the "wardrobe malfunction" that takes place at the shows. Clothes and a woman’s body are beautiful things. The Indian government even acknowledging a case against this is ridiculous. There are wrong people on the wrong side of the law. LFW is now getting more serious and I am glad.
Name: Mashoom Singha
My fashion dream is: To do a a brand campaign for an international designer.
Craziest OMG LFW moment: I feel LFW is quite sober. The Mai Mumbai show last year was a good platform, with Naomi Campbell walking the ramp which was very different.
