Cosmoprof India once again reinforced its position as South Asia’s leading B2B beauty platform. The event blended business, creativity and trend-driven innovation. One of its key highlights was the “Runway by Cosmoprof” fashion show, conceptualized and directed by designer Sonaakshi Raaj. This showcase brought together cosmetics, hair artistry and couture, creating a seamless connection between beauty and fashion.
A Collection Built on Emotion
Sonaakshi Raaj’s collection, “The First Kiss,” translated the emotion of intimate moments into colour, texture and structure. It featured 20 to 30 ensembles crafted from tulle, silk and organza. These pieces combined floral embellishments and soft sheen with bold, sculptural silhouettes.
The palette moved from blush, ivory and gold to deeper hues such as crimson and midnight, creating a smooth and expressive transition.
Silhouettes That Celebrate Modern India
The runway displayed a wide range of shapes. Guests admired tailored gowns, corseted dresses, refined blouses and fluid pre-draped sarees. As Sonaakshi Raaj explained, the collection reflects the elegance and confidence of the modern Indian woman. It also aligned with the beauty and grooming trends showcased throughout the expo.
