Grace, glitz and glam    our- all the elements     fell into their perfect place last evening at Terra Mayaa as Affluent Ray of Light (ARL) opened their journey into the 2nd edition of the North East India Fashion Week with its first promo fashion show in the region. Organized by Affluent Ray of Light, a non-profit organization dedicated to globalize the social and cultural aspects of the different tribes of north east India, the fashion event saw the presence of the crème de la crème of the region’s fashion fraternity.
Sunday’s fashion show, conceptualized by acclaimed fashion designer Yana Ngoba, witnessed the participation of 13 young designers who believe in showcasing their traditional fabric and patterns and have successfully carved a niche for themselves in the fashion industry. The designers and weavers who showcased their collection in this gala fashion evening are Arita Kashyap, Priyanka Buragohain and Dimbeswari Kherkatary from Assam;  Milli Indira Dangngo, Techi Yapar, Nana Gona and Minu Mara from Arunachal Pradesh; Charlee Mathlena and Lalthabiki Chawngthu from Mizoram; Rupert W. Lynrah from Meghalaya; Ongtiong Kichu and Gloria Ovung from Nagaland; Vanshala Mishra from Bihar;  Huanpi Rani from Bengaluru and Archana Kabra from Rajasthan.
Speaking on the occasion, Chief Operating Officer and founder of Affluent Ray of Light, fashion designer Yana Ngoba said, “Northeast has an immense artistic potential.
It is sad to see that weavers today are giving up their age old tradition in search of jobs which pays them better. With this event we want to promote the weavers of the region who lives in disguise but are so important for the designers across the world.
At NEIFW, our focus is to support weavers of Northeast and brilliant emerging designers.
