Indian Models Highlight Contrast Between Hometowns and Fashion Runways on Instagram
Indian fashion models are participating in a viral Instagram trend called 'Hometown vs Runway,' showcasing the contrast between their everyday lives in small towns or villages and their glamorous appearances on national and international fashion runways. Set to the Garhwali song "Swami Pardesh," the videos typically start with models performing household or farm chores before transitioning to clips of them walking in designer outfits at major fashion events like Lakme Fashion Week and Versace. This trend highlights their journeys from humble beginnings to the fashion spotlight.
