Surelee Joseph

Her first jam with the limelight may have been on TV, but the Remix girl has come a long way since. Blessed with endless legs and razor-sharp cheekbones, the Mumbai girl carries off a lehenga with the same élan as a leather jacket, and her love for dancing always shows in her elegant walk. We’re glad this literature student found her way to fashion—she seems born into it.

Pallavi Singh

Her face has an elf-like innocence, but there’s nothing inexperienced about Pallavi’s strut on the ramp. The Prasad Bidappa protégé’s face has designers and stylists alike go ga-ga at her ability to transform for a look. Endowed with a naturally thoughtful expression, Pallavi’s doe eyes and brooding attitude sets her apart on the runway.

Dayana Erappa

It’s hard to take your eyes off Dayana. The Coorg-born Bangalore native is blessed with features we’d kill for—a classic face and stellar curves. In a bikini or a traditional sari, Dayana never looks out of place when she’s on the runway. Little wonder she always holds her own among the finest, most experienced models in the country.

Monica Tomas

One of the fresher faces on the ramp, this Malayali model is poised to become one of fashion’s ‘It’ girls. Having lived in Chennai and Ooty before Mumbai, the fashion design alumni is becoming a familiar fixture on runways and fashion editorials. We expect great things to come from this dusky beauty.
