India Fashion Runways

Mumbai-based model, Tamara Mosswith her suave and sultry image has created a wave in the modelling circuit. Be it the much talked about 'Kingfisher Calendar'or the recent 'Provogue' campaigns, you can not but notice her everywhere! She is quite often seen on fashion runways in New York, Milan, Paris and India. Bolly wood is not too far away for this leggy lass! In a Stylekandy.com exclusive, this Indo-Dutch beauty enlists the other priorities of life The start. It began in Bangalore 3 years ago, when Anil a Anand began sending out my Polaroids. I did many interesting shoots with her and Prabuddho Das Gupta. however the fashion scene at the time was largely unprofessional with con job self-proclaimed co-ordinators making work most unpleasant for budding talent. Show fees were not paid on time, in the case of Ramesh Dembla, a so-called designer and social butterfly, show fees were not paid at all! Then While in Bangalore I met the lovely Rashmi Virmani, who convinced me to sign on with her Delhi based agency called 'The Ramp', which was a bit of a joke. On numerous occasions I was speaking with the client directly to negotiate my rates from which her agency would demand a percentage, although I had done the collaborative work.

Lakhs of rupees were held and cheques bounced until I completely lost it with their lack of ethics and stopped working with them altogether! Now Eventually, I saw that I had to move to Mumbai to continue a professional career with a well-established agency. I have been with Atul Kasbekar' sagency Bling for over a year now and am thrilled to work with managers who have their finger on the pulse of fashion and commercial work in India. You need both! The best thing about being a model. The international travel and highly creative professionals I work with. Fashion to me means good fit, quality design and a bit of eclecticism.

Cindy Crawford work outs, yoga and lots of love! Walking on the ramp or posing for print ads, more appealing and why Shoots are more work and therefore more interesting, but if it's a well choreographed show with amazing clothes and beautiful make-up and hair styling then a show any day! What's your take on the famous dialogue 'models are used as hangers'. If only it was that easy! Obviously the scriptwriter knows nothing about the amount of work which goes into modelling as a career, or was just trying to make some metaphorical or character revealing point. Right look or Right attitude Neither. Be yourself! People in the industry are mature enough to know that you are young and fallible. Designer you admire. I love Rajesh Pratap Singh, for the fit and because the clothes channel androgynous effortlessly. I like to tear up and re-design my own clothes. Coping with the pressure Insecurities are a waste of time, and it's my bevy of stunning friends from all fields of work who inspire me to excellence. Bitchiness bores me to death and I have consciously removed myself from the envious gossipy types who have nothing better to do than sit around and talk shit all day. But these are few and far between. I wholly enjoy my work and full life, that´s why I do it! Any secret of yours I want to make the first skydiving club in India.
