The Israel Embassy in India in association with designer Sahil Kochhar, the European Union and Khushii curated a very special show to celebrate women coming together for social change supported by Radisson Blu. It was truly a night to remember and a befitting tribute to the ongoing celebration of 30 years of India and Israel friendship."Amidi" - boundless, beautiful and majestic, was the most apt way to describe these women who walked the ramp today and complimenting their beauty was a gorgeous capsule collection created by celebrated fashion designer, Sahil Kochhar. Also, present on the occasion was the Minister of External Affairs and Culture for India Meenakshi Lekhi to encourage and support the initiative.Speaking on the occasion, H.E. Ambassador Naor Gilon said, "Women and their power to drive social change needs to be celebrated across the different strata of society that they come from. Empowering a woman is equal to empowering a family. With this beautiful fashion showcase and this incredible group of powerful women coming from different fabrics of society, Amidi has been able to stitch together a beautiful narrative for social change through fashion."Ambassador of the European Union to India, Ugo Astuto said, "Women and girls are key agents of development and change. Achieving gender equality and empowering women and girls is vital to building fair, inclusive, prosperous, and peaceful societies everywhere. Investing in women's economic empowerment is not only the right thing to do as a matter of justice and fairness, but it is also the smart economic choice to make."But this was not a standard showcase; the ramp was transformed to serve as a platform to bring together women from very different walks of life and allow some incredibly talented women from Khushii to be able to tell their inspiring stories.Taking centre stage were nine women who with the help of local NGO Khushii, despite their personal setbacks and challenges, have shown a unique determination to become successful and independent. These women are now helping others in their community to become successful and independent as well. Together with them were diplomats from embassies as well as members of the European Union Delegation, walking alongside and applauding their spirit and strength.Working together on the show has given the young women a great sense of empowerment and the funds raised will further help in empowering and skill-building of more girls from across communities.Talking about the collection, designer Sahil Kochhar said, "I am very happy to come together with the Embassy of Israel for this very special initiative. This collection is personal and unique to me. It is a tribute to womanhood in all its forms coming together to celebrate these very special girls. I hope these young girls feel their very best while walking down the ramp as the stars that they really are."The Ambassador of the Kingdom of Belgium kindly hosted the event at his residence designed by celebrated Indian artist Satish Gujral, the perfect backdrop for this event.Riya Kumari is one of three siblings and is from Azadpur, Delhi.
