ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!

It was an evening full of glitter, glamour, and style! SUHAAG's 2nd annual Fashion Flair event was once again one of the most professional and successful fashion shows that Toronto has ever hosted. Held at the Sheraton Parkway Hotel, the show was truly a breathtaking experience for the sold-out crowd of over 1,000 people.

With the help of L'Oreal Professionnel, Capucci Salon, Faces Cosmetics, Indian Costume Jewelry, Swarovski, Ferrari Maserati of Ontario, and five of Toronto's leading boutiques: Jaipor Creations, Rawaaz Haute Couture, Saba Apparel, Sahiba Fashions, and XeeA Fashions, designers showcased their distinct fashions from both India and Pakistan. The show not only featured the latest crazes in conventional styles, but also traditional vogues fused with Canadian designs.

The purpose of the show was to display the various colours, patterns, fabrics, and styles that have made South Asian fashion so seductive, glamorous, unique, and now trendy. With the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani, to name a few, having dressed in Indian outfits, it is apparent that South Asian fashion has great influence on "what's in" in the world of style.

The show also featured the launch of the first issue of SUHAAG's fashion guide, titled FashionAsia. The catalogue-size magazine is the first-ever of its kind for the South Asian community in North America. Front to back cover, the pages of FashionAsia explode in a kaleidoscope of colour, with bold and beautiful designs. The ultimate style guide is a complete source for all that's hot in the realm of fashion, make up, jewelry and lifestyle. From knowing what to wear and how to wear it, to where to buy it –it's all there in one clever guide.

This year's event had many notable attendees, including Ruby Bhatia (a former Miss India-Canada), and Rupinder Nagra (the Bollywood Hollywood fame). The summer/fall fashion show was full of both summer-sizzlers and elegant bridal wear. And with over 30 models—including top beauties from New York, India, and Montreal—the event was a non-stop evening of flair. And if the gorgeous runway models weren't enough to impress you, there was another model of a different class that surely caught your fancy. Ferrari Maserati of Ontario dealers had a Maserati parked right in the show ballroom and were on-sight to answer questions and provide information for guests interested or intrigued by the luxurious model of perfection. The entertainment-packed show also had the likes of classical dancer, Sukalyan Bhattacharya, provide the audience with riveting dance moves during the evening.

Fashion Flair 2003 was truly a night that dazzled us all.
