ESTHER NATSO: We have so much of talents here.. The designer’s…..…models but yes people opt mostly for western trends and branded clothes and not much interested in ethnic fashion which can be quite challenging for the designers and also yes as a model, oh my! People’s concept of models and fashion shows, it is really very very sad... hoping to see lots of many young talents coming up and also more of Naga designers work being recognized instead of rushing for market goods.
