AS SHE WALKED into our office, Stephanie Lohale exuded a confidence and self-assurance that belied her age. Just 19, the Dubai resident and design student at Heriot Watt University, won the Miss India Worldwide 2015 title in Mumbai recently.
She tells City Times the decision to participate in the pageant was a 'spontaneous' one.
"Every girl wants to be a beauty queen at some point in her life," she said, adding that the overall experience was overwhelming.
"I was up against 32 other contestants, and that definitely takes your breath away."
Born in Oman (the country she represented at the pageant), Stephanie moved to Dubai when she was four and has lived in the city ever since.
When asked to comment on Dubai's blossoming fashion and arts scene, she said, "Dubai has given a lot of importance to the arts, fashion as well as other fields and I appreciate how far the city has come in this regard. Artistry can be expressed through so many different mediums. I love the fact that Dubai is giving a chance to so many young people, to prove themselves."
How would you describe your style and who are your favourite designers? "Something very chic and classy, very Chanel, but old Chanel - black and white, very retro. I love Manish Malhotra - his collec-tions are very simple and very beautiful. And Elie Saab I think he does the perfect combination of chic and shiny!" Five style tips from Stephanie: . Keep it real . Let your inner style shine through what-ever it may be . Also, be very appro-priate to look at, that plays a very big role considering that we live in Dubai. . Keep it simple and classy at all times . Be confident in what-ever you wear |
