Dabboo Ratnani: We are following what models in the West are doing
As our fashion shows are turning out to be serious business event, there's a lot that has changed over the years. One big difference is in the way models walk the ramp. Designers want complete focus on designs and their creations to be the highlight of the show and not the models. In such a scenario, smile has vanished from the ramp. Agrees Dabboo Ratnani, the ace photographer who is among the first ones to start the trend of fashion photography. He explained the sudden loss of expression and reportedly said, "Modelling on ramp has become different from what it used to be. Models now do their usual business of walking down the ramp in an understated, almost subdued way. Designers want the focus on their costumes, accessories and footwear. This is the latest trend - we are following what models in the West are doing. But this does not mean that their boldness has diminished. They have to feel good and strong all the time when the arc lights are on them. But at the subconscious level they are aware that they have to underplay."
