Washington, Sep 26
The audience at the
Bellevue Fashion Week in the US have voted an Indian-origin woman as
their favourite independent designer at the event's inauguration
ceremony earlier this week, a media report said.
The owner of
VARSHA brand of "meticulously crafted" work wear for the "power women",
Varsha Agarwal, got the audience vote on September 23,
bellevuereporter.com said on Friday.
"Every year after the show,
you could hear people expressing who they would have chosen. It's really
important for the guests to come to feel like they've had a hand in the
decision," said Jennifer Leavitt, vice-president of marketing for the
Kemper Development Company, which organises the annual event.
Preceding
their final presentation, independent designers participating at the
show get the opportunity to work with the world's leading fashion
experts for nine months.
Coming from a demanding business
consulting background, Aggarwal's brand aims to bring "style back to the
workplace", her website says. She also holds a degree in fashion
design.
