Olympic medalist shooter Manu Bhaker turned heads as she made her runway debut at the Lakme Fashion Week X FDCI 2024, held in New Delhi. On the second day of this prestigious fashion event, Bhaker took to the stage, not with her rifle, but with poise and confidence as a showstopper.
Fresh off her recent victory of two bronze medals at the Paris Olympics earlier this year, Bhaker showcased a whole new side of herself. She walked the ramp for popular clothing brand Marks & Spencer, which unveiled its much-awaited Autumn Winter ’24 collection titled ‘Big Autumn Energy’.
The collection fused modern-day fashion trends with a timeless, sophisticated style. With a promise to elevate wardrobes this season, Marks & Spencer’s designs featured bold colors, structured silhouettes, and elegant patterns that captured the essence of autumn.
The collaboration between a global fashion brand and a sports icon like Bhaker highlights the increasing crossover between the worlds of sports and fashion. Her presence on the runway symbolized strength, grace, and versatility, qualities that she exhibits both in her sport and now in fashion.
Fashion enthusiasts, celebrities, and designers were all present, applauding Bhaker’s runway debut. This memorable event has set a new standard for merging the excitement of sports with the glamour of fashion.
