Asia Lifestyle Week Season 1 was an absolute blast. I was amazed to witness grandeur of ethnically rich Asian fashion styles. Asia Lifestyle Week was presented by Thomsen. It was a three day lifestyle extravaganza in Delhi from March 16 – 18, 2019 at DLF Place Saket, New Delhi.

The idea behind Asia Lifestyle Week is to introduce the new generation fashion. The new generation fashion is an amalgamation of old-world charm with the tempering of Asian tradition & culture.

As the models walked the ramp, the audience were in ‘awe’ and filled with excitement. Each designer power play was commendable. Adding to the glitz and glamour actress from movie Grand Masti fame Bruna Abdullah walked the ramp at Asia lifestyle week for Amaavi by Khushbu Davary. The designer narrated the journey from darkness to light through her designs. The ramp show was quiet interactive as it featured a live singer on the ramp. I must say; it was quite an experience.
