I always felt that south India has been in the shadow of the fashion industry in Mumbai and Delhi. Hence I conceptualized SIFA which would be a platform to meet, greet and to award the best talents from the South, all on one stage.\u00a0 The categories would cover models, designers, photographers, stylist, make-up artists, hair stylists and fashion icons from the film industry. The gala event will also feature an exquisite fashion show featuring garments from the award-winning designers as well as our title sponsor, Max\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Following the event\u00a0Max, India\u2019s largest fashion brand launched its Autumn collection by a magnificent fashion show. The collection explores a bouquet of global trends like \u2018Peace Army\u2019, \u2018Indigo\u2019 and \u2018Glam Rock\u2019 with its edgy styling. The collection embodies the free spirited individuality of the wanderer as one seeks out endless roads to discover oneself.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u><a href=\"http:\/\/faceinews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Vyshali.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6749\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6749 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/faceinews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Vyshali.jpg\" alt=\"Vyshali\" width=\"235\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.faceinews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Vyshali.jpg 235w, https:\/\/www.faceinews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Vyshali-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px\" \/><\/a>Award Categories<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The SIFA categories are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Best Runway Model \u2013 Female<\/li>\n<li>Best Runway Model \u2013 Male<\/li>\n<li>Best Commercial Model \u2013 Female<\/li>\n<li>Best Commercial Model \u2013 Male<\/li>\n<li>Best Fashion Designer \u2013 Men\u2019s Wear<\/li>\n<li>Best Fashion Designer \u2013 Women\u2019s Wear<\/li>\n<li>Rising Star Fashion Designer<\/li>\n<li>Best Fashion Photographer<\/li>\n<li>Best Stylist<\/li>\n<li>Best Makeup Artist<\/li>\n<li>Best Hairstylist<\/li>\n<li>Fashion Icon (films) \u2013 Female<\/li>\n<li>Fashion Icon (films)\u2013 Male<\/li>\n<li>Fashion Mentor<\/li>\n<li>Jury Award<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>About Ajit Menon:<\/strong>\u00a0Ajit Menon is a choreographer par excellence having been part of the Fashion industry for 2 decades.
