The India Online fashion week,  popularly called ' IOFW ' is gaining momentum with every passing day. Jabong.com is moving forward and coming up with innovative and creative ideas as the days go by. After all,it's gearing up for the world's first online shop-able fashion week. 

As I've mentioned in my earlier post, Jabong has given an amazing platform to youngsters to showcase their talent. This would also help them to be a part of the global fashion scene. Amongst the billions of talented youngsters fifteen fashion designers, twenty models, five photographers, five make up artists and five hair stylists have been short listed during the auditions. These finalists would be seen together for the  fall festive collection 2014.

In this post I would be covering the events and news associated with the short listed models. Day one of the  India online fashion week started with the auditions of the models both male and female. This was only the first segment of the entire audition ceremony.  Youngsters appeared in large numbers for the auditions held at Picturesque and Palatial venue at Chhatarpur in New Delhi.

Preliminaries before the final audition 

The Panel of judges comprised of the charming  model Carol Gracias, Fashion Choreographer - Rashmi Virmani and Samant Chauhan - Fashion designer. Carol Gracias is seen above scrutinizing the models during the auditions. According to Rashmi Virmani, it was a tough call selecting the finalists amongst the pool of talented models. She also stated that it was good to see so many tall women in the room at one point of time, which just goes to prove that the internet has spread it's wings all over.

Models both male and female turned up in huge numbers. Most of them were tall, well groomed with well toned bodies. They fitted the bill of perfect models as they had all the required credentials.
