Runway Inspiration, a unique fashion show to be held on January 21 will give a new face to fashion in Goa as an upcoming fashion entrepreneur, Anusha Shaikh, will put special children in the spotlight when they walk the ramp and delight hearts at a South Goa resort.

The show is backed by State-owned Goa Tourism Development Corporation Limited, said its chairman and MLA Nilesh Cabral here on Tuesday.

She has an exciting line up of garments for the mega show which will be categorised as ‘the Kids range’ ‘Indo Westerns’ and ‘Ethnics’.

This show has been organized, keeping in mind the special children, where they shall get an opportunity to walk the ramp in designer outfits. The objective is to raise funds for charity, said Mr. Cabral.
