Backstage #PreferredProfessionals

  • November 25, 2013
  • naina

You’ve already seen the Fittings sessions being managed by the ladies of Preferred Professionals and the subsequent Rehearsals on the same day at the Canadian Ambassador’s residence. This set of images is from the day after the fittings and rehearsals. The day started with a Press Conference that had been organized and set by Anisha and Aparna and then the Backstage setup began for the launch event showcasing four of India’d leading fashion designers.

Beautiful linen walls kept the launch area hidden from sight during the press conference. The focus of the press conference was to announce the launch of the Four Seasons Private Residences named DELH1 in collaboration with The 3C Company.

There were simple, elegant flower arrangements all over the venue. From the courtyard space to the bar tops and each of the round tables that had been set out for the guests.

The catering was by ITC Maurya Sheraton and there was lovely food from the Chefs at Bukhara.

The show area would be cordoned off till it was time to start the show and for this, the balcony of the residence was covered by cloth on velcro.

Anisha erasing marks on the wallpaper that covers the bar counters in the courtyard space. It’s heartening to see these girls being hands-on with their work. It is impossible to stand around and do nothing while these two toil away.

And finally, the show is about to begin and the cloth partition is removed as guests pour into the show area.

So now you’ve seen all the Fittings, Rehearsals and Backstage action. Photographs from the final show coming up in the next and final installment of my latest story with Preferred Professionals.
