We got in touch with @archuvadnerkar who walked the ramp at the Lakme Fashion Week for Shyamal and Bhumika’s show. We thought it would be great to find out how she felt walking the ramp at this event for the first time!

Was this your first time at Lakme Fashion Week? How was the experience different from other fashion weeks/ ramp shows you might have done?

Yes this was my first time at Lakme Fashion Week , 2010

I have always looked forward to this day … when I would be walking the prestigious ramp at Lakme fashion week.  It felt superb. Finally, I have started to believe that I am here to stay.

It is a new experience Every time I walk the ramp. As there is no second take /chance.

You walk once and make that impact/impression. Those few seconds of being there on the ramp makes a huge difference.

Ramp has always been my 1^st choice, as a child I always knew I wanted to be a ramp model. I was determined … worked hard and patiently looked forward for the positive developments. Which slowly … one by one came my way … and I believe there are many more on my way that I shall cherish J

I have walked for kolkata fashion week 09. That being the 1^st fashion week … I was really nervous on day one. All I knew was, I wanted to give it my best. I enjoyed the experience and that surely helped me to be more confident at LFW.

What did you think about the collection?

I loved the Holi collection. It’s a very colorful, vibrant and fun collection. It was a riot of colors on the ramp, a burst of yellow, green, orange, hot pink, blue, gold, fuchsia and purple. Lovely and very comfortable.

Her message to any young aspiring model out there is “Determination , Hardwork and patience  always pays off”. So hang in there guys and gals!
