A highlight from the LOral Paris X Tira Runway to Paris showcase
Designed as a glamorous prelude to Paris Fashion Week, Runway to Paris fused Parisian allure with India’s creative pulse, reimagining how fashion and beauty come together in storytelling. The platform celebrated inclusivity, individuality, and artistic innovation, with students from across the country participating to showcase their looks. It offered India’s young talent an unprecedented opportunity to present their creativity while bringing the magic of Paris Fashion Week closer to home.
Conceived as a contest, Runway to Paris culminated in a grand finale where eight promising teams presented their looks before an esteemed jury and an audience of industry leaders, spotlighting India’s next generation of creative voices. As part of the global theme “Walk Your Worth” from The L’Oral Paris global show Le Dfil, the showcase highlighted individuality, inclusivity, and empowerment, positioning beauty as an equal partner to fashion in storytelling. Each look was complemented by the newly launched Infallible Laque Resistance Liquid Lipstick by L’Oral Paris, weaving in the campaign thought “What’s Your Shine Statement” – a celebration of confidence and self-expression through high-shine color.
The evening culminated with the announcement of the winning designer team, who earned the rare opportunity to attend the Le Dfil at Paris Fashion Week in Paris.
