Fashion Indulgence with Myntra & Vogue

Figure this? A giant online shopping website, a leading sports and fashion management company and a powerhouse fashion magazine decide to collaborate for a fashion weekend; what can you expect? Excitement, panache, style, oomph, exuberance, fun… the list can go on and on. This was exactly what we experienced at The Myntra Fashion Weekend.

A weekend of exuberant designer exhibitions, vivacious pop-up shops, high tempo live bands and engaging competitions; this was a one-of-its-kind shopping and runway experience. The Vogue Fest was dedicated to all empowered and feisty women of today, who continually achieve their goals.

If you did miss it, here are a few highlights!

• The announcement of Masaba’s latest collection ‘Anouk’; besides cocktails at Li Bai.
