Ramp Show in Ireland for British Telecom
The Krakow School of Art and Fashion Design (KSA) was born in 1989 in Poland. The School offers two years long full time program as well as weekend courses giving a platform to the students in the field of Fashion Design, Photography, Interior Design, Visual Merchandising and Drama. The news is that the Fashion and Photography faculty will open its doors to international students also very soon this year. The curriculum and programs are designed by experienced professionals after a well thought process. One interesting fact about this institute is that the staff members are themselves artists and designers in their own rights and have combined teaching with their professional careers. In order to showcase students’ talents, the school organizes fashion shows as well as exhibitions in galleries on a regular basis. The institute also opens the door for students to participate in both national and international competitions. Besides that students get the opportunity to intern with the top designers across the world. Giving sustainable employment prospects to the fashion graduates is a priority for the institute. No wonder then, talents produced every year are placed in Polish and international fashion companies. Bharat Sharma is a Delhi-based model who started his career with Gladrags.

My starting days in modelling were not so good, though I did my first ramp show in Ireland for British Telecom. I was working with Infosys when I got a call for Lakme Fashion Week. until then, I was totally unaware about what modelling and fashion is all about? I thought it was very much organized and professional.
How has life changed after modelling? The major change is I have started listening to others in the bitter way! Your best part experience so far. This was the first ad which I shot for ICICI Prudential where it took 15 hrs for a 30 sec ad! I can never forget this lifetime experience. Are male models more vulnerable to casting couch. If you go 4-5 years back, it was true but now it’s different. Qualities which make you different from other model community. I am friendlier in a true way and can’t be fake as most of my fellow models are. I always prefer my education and knowledge over my looks.
Walking in first ever Men’s Week was really great feeling. Now Indian designers have finally got the time to think of the Male model. The positive and negative traits of being a model.
If you say Negative then it’s a long list but to be precise, it’s a short term career or say it’s not a career for men, it’s a very dicey profession and my advice is to first finish your studies get some professional degree to be on the safer side and then try for it. Positive trait is you get in contact with so many people which sometimes actually changes life and most importantly People start recognizing you. Nudity in ads is a sensational issue nowadays? Would u ever do such ads. Yes if you have to live in Rome you have to live like a Romeo. Is the supermodel era over. Gone are the days when Supermodel was a term.

How are show directors to deal with?
It takes time to create a rapport with the choreographers and if you are good in buttering half your job is done. All choreographers have their favourites so here the job changes from getting work to getting into the choreographer’s favo’s list. Till now Aparna Behl and Alison Kanuga are those whom I admire.
Style icon Shashi Taroor, the way he speaks and think its a personality to die for.

Eat healthy be healthy. I believe in one thing what you eat is what you look. A proper work out and cardio is like worshipping your body.
