ELLE and Chandon came together for an exclusive brunch that provoked thoughtful conversations and led the way for the future of cinema and the fashion industry. On the 25th of August a brunch was held, celebrating creativity with a fashion showcase and panel discussions featuring industry insiders. Here’s everything that went down at ELLE X Chandon brunch.
Fashion Showcase
Shantanu and Nikhil showcased their collection at the brunch with their fashion show, one that had all the guests making notes- they are going to be making a beeline for these this festive season. They displayed an array of cocktail-worthy looks, featuring monochrome colours, pleated skirts, and plenty of structure.
Panel Discussion
The panel discussion that followed had some of the industry’s biggest stars, stalwarts of both fashion and cinema offering interesting perspectives on the intersection of the two industries. On the panel were Nikhil Mehra, design director of Shantnu and Nikhil, Shubika Sharma, the owner of brand Papa Don’t Preach, Bollywood stars Chitrangada Singh and Shefali Shah and designer Vaishali S. The conversation had the audience leaning in, as the bigwigs offered their take on reel fashion and real life.
The Cocktails
Of course, no brunch is complete without lots of bubbly and delicious cocktails and this had plenty of it. Fresh botanicals were infused with Chandon and the result were drinks that were refreshing, light and had everyone coming back for seconds.
