The iconic Blenders Pride Fashion Tour dramatically accelerated into a new realm during its spectacular Jaipur stop. The event, famously known for setting trends, masterfully fused the adrenaline-pumping world of motorsports with the glamorous universe of high fashion, declaring a bold new direction for style.
Runway Transformed Into Racing Circuit
In a powerful collaboration with the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), the traditional runway was reimagined as a high-speed circuit of style. The showcase, aptly themed ‘Fashion’s Next Move’, was a multi-sensory experience designed around the ethos of speed, precision, and power. The audience was taken on a thrilling three-lap journey, beginning with ‘The Start Line’ featuring dynamic racing silhouettes, moving through ‘The Pit Lane’ with its sleek, tactical chrome aesthetics, and culminating in ‘The Glam Night’, which celebrated high-octane glamour. The energy peaked with a breathtaking stunt performance by sportscars, electrifying the entire venue.
Designers & Stars Ignite the Track
Leading the creative charge were celebrated designers Namrata Joshipura and Abhishek Paatni. They brilliantly interpreted ‘motorcore’ aesthetics, translating the raw energy and technical detailing of racing culture into bold, statement-making fashion. The grand finale was commanded by Bollywood star and former Miss Universe Harnaaz Sandhu, who embodied the perfect fusion of glamour and velocity as the showstopper. Adding to the night's pulsating rhythm, rap icon Raftaar delivered an electrifying performance that matched the fashion showcase's intense energy.

Debasree Dasgupta, CMO of Pernod Ricard India, stated the tour continues to shape cultural conversations, and the Jaipur edition fused motorsport with high-fashion to celebrate boldness and innovation. Designer Abhishek Paatni remarked on breaking creative boundaries, shifting fashion into new gears by merging speed with style.
