Goa Couture Fashion Night 2017 was a unique event that showcased talented designers and addressed issues of rape and abuse against women in India

Creating Awareness Through Fashion

GOA Couture Fashion Night 2017 was an unusual evening. As rain played confetti from the sky, the fashion show glistened against the backdrop of the stunning photography institution, The One School Goa. The glittery and sparkling night organized by Hema Nagvenkar and Rahul Talka and was supported by Childrens Right of Goa. The show was dedicated to rape victims and young children who are at risk of abuse. Snehal Salgaonkar from CRG spoke about how to educate kids on bad touch and good touch also focussing on how to make the childhood safe for the kids. Hema Nagvenkar noted that `We are always advising girls to be careful instead of teaching boys to respect and to take the responsibility of female safety in the society`

The show opened with the launch of Golden Grey model agency owned by Hema Nagvenkar. The agency will be dedicated to creating a safe space for beautiful matured age models from India and abroad.
