Meet Aishwarya Shivkumar; a 3rd year Media Student who until now could be seen only walking the corridors of MAHE but after this big break may be seen walking at renowned Fashion Shows as well. Pursuing a specialization in Visual Communication, Aishwarya is a lady of many talents. A complete go-getter she can sing, dance, paint, play the piano and is up for any challenge that comes her way. Modeling being a personal interest since childhood she graced many ads and corporate calendars as a child. A favorite on the local scene and college competitions, Fashionova 2008, a Fashion Show with some of the biggest models walking the ramp, happened by chance and just the night before.
We spoke to Aishwarya about her opportunity of a lifetime:
Afshan: A Fashion show where Top Models of the industry walk the ramp every year… how then did Fashionova 2008 happen to you?
Aishwarya: Two of the designers wanted to showcase an extra garment in their collection at Fashionova. Since all the models were flown down from India they needed someone to step in at the 11th hour. Thus I was approached and was more than willing to oblige.
A:You got to model with some of the biggest names in the Fashion Industry! Tell us about the experience?
AS: It was phenomenal! This is the first time I have modeled on such a huge platform. I haven’t got any formal training and being professionally trained by Marc Robinson was just wonderful.
A:How was it like backstage with such seasoned models?
AS:Well, everyone kept to themselves and since I was new to the backstage chaos I did feel a little out of place. Having said that, the volunteers did their best to make me comfortable and guided me through the backstage drill.

A:So, are you planning to pursue modeling as a career in the future?
AS:I haven’t decided yet. I'm still trying out other things as well. However if opportunities such as these knock on my door I won't decline.
