AVANTI NAGRATH

Perhaps a fairytale-turned-reality is the only way to describe Avanti Nagrath’s remarkable modelling journey. “I began at the age of 15, fuelled by a lifelong aspiration of becoming a model. The allure of clothing and the joy of dressing up ignited my passion.” Fresh out of her teens, the prospect of being in a room filled with creative individuals and expressing herself through fashion was her driving force.

The Delhi-born finds immeasurable joy in representing India on the international fashion runway. “It fills me with profound happiness and a great sense of pride,” she exclaims.

According to Avanti, challenges are inevitable in making a mark on the global fashion scene as an Indian model. “All the highs and lows are part of the journey. The key ultimately lies in staying focused, dedicated, and patient.” And while there have been rejections, her goal is to never give up. “Hard work, commitment, and a positive mindset are crucial for success.” Paving the way for an entire generation of aspiring models in the country, Avanti is now a force to be reckoned with.

“My most memorable backstage moment was when I spoke to and hugged Donatella Versace before opening her show—it’s an experience forever etched in my memory,” recalls Avanti. Well, it’s not every day that you walk the ramp for one of the most renowned couture houses in the world, let alone open it.
