The crowd was restless and nervous, for among them were parents of ‘models of tomorrow’. The children were awaiting their baby steps into the world of fashion, glitz and glamour.
The stage was all set for the opening of Runway Kids, a baby show organised by Rayz International School in Sector 19, Noida, on Saturday.
The crowd threw up a rapturous applause when the first of the 200 ‘models’ stepped on to the stage for a catwalk – a tiny girl holding her mother’s hand. Then one after another, the other children followed, a few with thumbs in their mouth. Some were accompanied by their fathers too.
The age group of the participants was 0-4 years. These tiny tots walked the ramp with their mothers and killed the audience with cuteness. Among the audience were the parents of school students and staff of the school.
DSP Anooth Singh, head ATS, Noida, was the chief guest at the function, accompanied by his wife, DSP Alka Singh. Fashion designer Winky Singh, luxury consultant Madhavi Advani and vice-chairperson of the school Jasmin Kumar formed the panel of judges for the event.
The little 'models' seemed completely at home, sashaying down the red ramp, matching their steps to the DJ's beats and flaunting their designer costumes. Judging solely by the expressions on the parents' faces, the event was a success.
Gorgeous little models stole the show as they walked the ramp, completely dolled up in the pink and blue theme, the jungle safari theme, and the divas-and-the-rockstar-look-alike themes. The winners in all categories were presented with a certificate and a gift. Noida News
Jasmin Kumar, the vice-chairperson, told City Spidey that these types of events encouraged the children and their parents and brought out the best in them. They also gave the children the confidence to follow their dreams, she said.
Rakesh Singh, another parent, said that this was the first time he had walked the ramp - and also danced on stage with his child. “In school and college, I never did, but today I did for my child,” Singh said.
