KUCHING: Lavasthraa Beautiq is joining the line-up of What About Kuching (WAK) 2019, where it is set to showcase its annual fashion show – themed ‘Colours of Unity 2019: Bollywood Fusion Fashion Fiesta’ this time.

In what is touted as a ‘Kuching-first’, the team will be marrying augmented reality (AR) with the fashion catwalk during the show slated for this Oct 10 at Dewan Sri Bungai Rampai, commencing at 7pm.

This fashion show will be run in collaboration with local technology start-up ARx Media Sdn Bhd.

Welfare, Community Wellbeing, Women, Family and Childhood Development Minister Dato Sri Fatimah Abdullah is expected to officiate at the opening ceremony.

Guests for the fashion show will be treated to a scrumptious Indian dinner.

There will be three slots in the show – ‘Bollywood’, ‘Fusion’, and ‘High Fashion – as well as song and dance performances.

The host will also open the dance floor, where all members of the audience are invited to ‘bring out their inner Bhangra’.

Lavasthraa Beautiq, located at Batu Kawah Township here, is the only Bollywood/Indian boutique of its kind in Kuching.

It has been creating and updating its collection of fashionable Bollywood and fusion clothing, and has also pioneered the industry here by offering the ready-made sarees – those that can be worn in just under 30 seconds.

Equipped with in-house tailors, Lavasthraa Beautiq boasts many other collections as well.

Tickets for the Colours of Unity 2019 show are priced at RM85 per person – or RM800 per table.
