Wyndham model Sindu Varathan will reach the top of the fashion world when she parades in the Ladakh International Fashion Runway in India later this month.
Literally.
Ms Varathan will be the Australian representative at the show in Ladakh in the Indian Himalayas, which is aiming to break the world record for the highest fashion show ever held.
“As an Australian-Indian I feel extremely humbled to be a part of this historic event,” said Ms Varathan who was born in India but has lived in Wyndham for the last decade.
Winner of the 2020 Ms Australia International Pageant, Ms Varathan was selected to join models and pageant winners from around the world to strut down the catwalk at 5700m above sea-level.
While excited by the prospect of making history, she said the event, which will be held on the highest drivable road in the world, was about much more than just entering the record books.
“I hope that our joint efforts to break the Guinness World Record will gain the attention of the world, and start conversions and change throughout the fashion industry, the region, and across the globe in other regions faced with similar fates.”
The world record attempt will take place on August 30 and is part of a series of events leading up to India hosting the G-20 Leaders Summit in September.
