Malaika Arora believes fashion industry has evolved a lot and has become a well-structured business now.The 45-year-old fashionista says the coming of international brands in the country has made the fashion industry a more organised place.<\/p>\n
\u201cFashion has become a business now. Earlier there was no structure in the fashion industry. It was more haphazard. But now I believe with professionals, various labels and companies coming to the country, the focus has shifted to the business aspect of fashion,\u201d Malaika said.<\/p>\n
The VJ-turned-actor, who was one of the jury members at the Lakme Fashion Week Summer\/Resort 2019 female models auditions, said if she had mentors during her initial days in the showbiz, she would have had a better sense of direction.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe if I have had the kind of mentorship these young models are getting, I would have had a better sense of direction. When I started out, I just figured things with time. I was like a fish out of the water. I used to follow my guts and nobody was there to guide. But it also had a good side to it. It made me more independent,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Along with Malaika, designer duo Shantanu and Nikhil, show director Anu Ahuja, Head of Innovations, Lakme-Ashwath Swaminathan and Vice President and Head of Fashion, IMG Reliance, Jaspreet Chandok, were also part of the jury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
