Blenders Pride fashion tour races ahead in Jaipur

JAIPUR: The Blenders Pride Fashion Tour took Jaipur for a spin on Saturday, turning the Pink City’s runway into a fast-moving playground of fashion and horsepower. Leaning into the rising motorcore trend, the showcase blended speed, style and spectacle in a way that felt more racetrack than ramp.

In partnership with the Fashion Design Council of India, the Tour reimagined its Jaipur edition as a high-speed circuit. Designers Namrata Joshipura and Abhishek Paatni brought motor-inspired silhouettes, chrome finishes and performance-driven detailing to the stage, crafting looks that pushed fashion firmly into the fast lane.

Harnaaz Sandhu owned the finale, gliding down the runway with the confidence of a star in full throttle. Rapper Raftaar closed the evening with an electrifying act that matched the show’s pulse. The showcase unfolded in three themed laps: The Start Line, The Pit Lane and The Glam Night. Each segment revved up the visual drama before a stunt-powered supercar moment sealed the night with a roar.

Pernod Ricard India CMO Debasree Dasgupta said, the Tour’s Jaipur edition set a new pace by merging the thrill of motorsport with high fashion to celebrate boldness and innovation.

Designer Abhishek Paatni noted that the collaboration allowed fashion to shift into new gears while Namrata Joshipura said the platform inspired her to fuse motorsport precision with couture. Showstopper Harnaaz Sandhu called the experience pure adrenaline while Raftaar praised the Tour for putting fashion on an entirely new track. FDCI chairman Sunil Sethi said the partnership showcased creativity and culture while steering Indian fashion towards its next chapter.

With Jaipur wrapped, the tour now heads to Kolkata where designer Anamika Khanna will bring contemporary craftsmanship to the spotlight on 20 December with Ishaan Khatter as the showstopper.
