Reshma
Jani of Gallerie Angel Arts says, “This show was a natural progression
from our last show, which was Art&Music Unplugged. Both
Art and Fashion are creative, inspirational and to do with aesthetics.
We wanted then to merge and create an experience of harmony between the
two, so the show was conceptualised.”
Anushka
Rajan says "For me, Art and Fashion do at some level go hand in hand, I
see art as the creation and fashion the expression.
Merging these two passions of mine was something that got me really
excited for this collaboration! Usually art showings don't really
attract the youth of today. That's why we thought of adding the element
of pop fashion with some vibrant canvases and edgy
young sculptures. I chose artwork which I feel would interest the
GenNext's of today! Being an art enthusiast from a very young age,
promoting these phenomenal upcoming artists give me immense joy."
