What went down at the ELLE Carnival For A Cause

The second edition of the ELLE Carnival For A Cause was a fun afternoon where shopping and charity came together. The Taj West End, Bangalore was all decked out with a nautical theme and a delicious spread of seafood from the southern coast. Grey Goose even whipped up refreshing summer cocktails while Kingfisher Ultra served everyone's favourite beer. Plus all the shopping benefited breast cancer patients at the Tata Memorial Center, what more could we want?

You could get your hands on Sonam Kapoor's Dolce & Gabbana bag in a silent auction. Manish Malhotra, Hermes, Chanel and Cane Boutique were up for grabs for a fraction of the price. Besides the shopping, Joshua Palmer, Avinash Grubb and Neethusha kept the crowd going with chart-busting music. You could also get your face read by Shriram, get fresh nail art done by Mirrors and Within, listen to tales by storyteller Vikram Sridhar and transition to another world with illusionist Rakesh Syam. Have major FOMO? Join us for the Mumbai edition on May 8, at the Taj Mahal Palace, Colaba.
