Mandira Bedi wows American audience with her six yards

The fashion show tour organized by Janta Connection in San Francisco’s newly-opened Glass House Lounge saw actress, model and anchor-turned-designer Mandira Bedi’s latest collection, called ‘Joie de Vivre’ – The Joy of Life 2014. The collection inspired by the fall colours of autumn and the gray tones of the winter, equally expressed the joy of the holiday season.

The evening that kicked off on a joyous note with fun, fashion and entertainment, later focused on the noble cause as the event helped spread awareness and raise funds for ‘Two Cents of Hope’, a non-profit organization focused on providing education to children in India. Attendees donated 5 dollars (about Rs 309) to enter a raffle to win a designer sari donated by Bedi for the cause.

The attendees included noted names from the Indian American community. The platinum sponsor for the event, JabongWorld.com would now feature the entire collection showcased on the runway during the event. After making a debut with her designs at the Lakme Fashion Week in India, for which she got much appreciation from the audiences, Bedi also presented her collection at the Kenya Fashion Week recently.
