We are here to take that pain and pave an easy way for our budding talent.” He further added that the recent graduates from NIIFT Ludhiana had designed the dresses worn by the candidates and concluded, “If we are onto a project we are fully on it covering every aspect of it, as goes for this fashion talent show we would like to give a platform to every deserving talent.”

The panel of judges saw two international models- Neelam Garg, who also being a choreographer has bagged many awards under her name and Ruby Singh, who is an actress and winner of many beauty pageants. The other judges comprised of Ritu Dogra (Model, Actresses, Professional Groomer), Shruti Jamaal (Fashion designer,owner of the brand- Scarlet) and Vineet Raj Kapoor (Delegate Head for India in Ace Fair Festival South Korea, Dean of Chitkara University).
