THE Miss Malaysia Indian Global 2007 kicked off its calling for entries with a jewellery fashion show titled Catwalk Culture at the 5th Global Indian Shopping Carnival 2007 (GISF) in Mid Valley Megamall, Kuala Lumpur recently.
The event's founder T. Pushparani said this was the first time that they did a jewellery-based show.
“In the previous shows, we have always highlighted clothes but this time we wanted to do something different. All the jewellery that was worn by former title winners is from Hyderbad Pearls, Rai International and Syamsar Enterprise, who are exhibitors at this fair.
“We also wanted to promote the pageant, which is well known for its charitable reach and social development programme.”
She added that the pageant, which is under the Miss Malaysia India Care Association only deals with sustainable community development programme that are not less than three years.

“We look at long-term community projects and we cover areas like health, education and social development among young girls and women,” she said.
The show saw Miss Malaysia Queen of the Year Gurdev Kaur, Miss Malaysia Indian Global Petite Susheel Kaur, Miss Malaysia India 2003 Danutcha Chellaiah and first runner-up Miss Malaysia Indian 2004 Tiranjeet Kaur strutting down the ramp.
Playing host to the show were also former beauty queens, Miss Malaysia India World 2001 Mohanapriya Sina Raja and Miss Malaysia Indian Global 2005 Dr Shalina Mohamad.
The show’s sponsors were A Cut Above for hair, Skin Food for make-up and Arizali's for attire.
Organiser Agenda Suria Communication director Jaggarao Simancha said GISF 2007 visitors had surpassed the 360,000 mark this year.
“This year we have seen trade visitors from Australasia, Middle East and the Asean region. We have also seen the Malay and Chinese community coming to the fair.
“The reason for the success this year lies in the variety of activities lined up and the number of exhibitors, which saw about 110 Malaysian exhibitors participating. Malaysia is well on its way to become a trading hub for Indian products in Asia,” he said.
