Every fashion season brings with it a fresh, new face. Keeping this idea in mind, the new year has got off to a running start for the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) – with their #GetNoticed model hunt. And they’re teaming up with the Wilderbee Talent Camp (WTC) by supermodel Lakshmi Rana to hone in on India’s most promising discoveries and future ramp models.

The FDCI and WTC will initiate the process with online applications from aspiring models. Moreover, to break away from perceived notions of “perfection”, it will be inclusive. So whether you are regular, petite, plus-size, or transgender, everyone is welcome to apply.

The lucky 15 new faces chosen will be selected from online applications and invited to the FDCI Office in New Delhi to undergo an intensive training module designed by Lakshmi Rana. This in-depth programme will be conducted over three days, during the first week of February, and conclude with a jury on the fourth day.

Three models selected from the 15 shortlisted ones, will get a chance to strut on the coveted India Fashion Week runway. “The FDCI has always been a thought leader, we believe in not just discovering talent, but also nurturing it to touch the summit,” says FDCI Chairman Sunil Sethi. “As the world is opening up to limitless possibilities, we have chosen a way that reaches out to millions, aspiring to realize their embellished dreams. Wilderbee Talent Camp by Lakshmi Rana is one of the first all-inclusive training camp and we feel confident that this intensive training by her will be of immense value to the newcomers.”

Lifestyle Insider is a kind of junction point, connecting people with diverse interests that touch on the more luxurious aspects of lifestyle – fashion, design, travel, food and spirits, art, watches and jewellery, cars, yachts, and aviation, and technology. People today don’t fit into boxes and categories. In our individual ways, we are interested in diverse themes, products, and the challenges that face our world today. You will judge how well this effort of mine caters to your passions and proclivities.
Lifestyle Insider is a showcase of all that is beautiful and luxe. Behind every creation, is a designer, chef, entrepreneur, or a design maison. I have delved into my own appreciation for objetsde luxe that I have admired over the years – be it a love of fashion from the world’s top Parisian and Italian fashion maisons and their ’90s muses, or the care that goes into sari and Indian textile collections in my own family. Growing up on four continents, as the daughter of a former Indian Ambassador, I’ve seen a remarkable array of historic places and met a myriad people. My aim is to bring my world view into this website, a curation of what I find particularly stunning, unique, and newsworthy.
It’s an exciting time for brands all over the world. With change comes opportunity. With the global ‘reset’ and uncertainty on many fronts, there is a chance to write a new script. Let’s be those pioneers.
A bit about me:
A luxury and fashion journalist with 25 years of experience in publishing and magazine journalism, I have edited some of India’s top fashion and luxury magazines. I got my BA in Comparative Literature from UC Berkeley, and went on to receive my Master’s in English and French from the University of Strasbourg, France. I have also studied German and Film. I live in Gurugram, India, and look forward to once again exploring our world with a new-found freedom.
