Model and Ms Bikini Online nominee Simona Roy shot for Goan fashion designer Randell Gomes for a fashion concept shoot for a high profile glossy new publication Fashion & Lifestyle Asia. The publication will be launched next month in Mumbai. The theme of the shoot was Fashion, Color and Fabrics of India.

This shoot featured Randell Gomes 2014 pret summer collection. Designer Randell Gomes had launched a pret collection last year called Mumbai Fashion Street Collection which is inspired by Mumbai's fashion street at Dhobitalao in South Mumbai. This year too he has introduced a new line of wearable and affordable clothes for women of all shapes and sizes under the same name.

Randell Gomes who was born at Margao in South Goa grew up at Dhobi Talao near the CST Railway Station and was fascinated by the variety and color of clothes available very cheaply on Fashion Street.

Says Randell Gomes, "My sisters would go to Fashion Street every weekend. When I was a student at St Xaviers college, we would visit Fashion Street to buy bermudas, shorts and T -shirts which were available for as little as Rs 30 per piece. It was simply fabulous. Most of the stuff available at Fashion Street were export rejects and some of them were re-cycled clothes. But the joy we experienced getting an outfit within our limited budget was tremendous.

At that time, shopping was fun and a great pleasure. With my new range of pret outfits for men and women, I want to make cheap fashionable clothes available for everyone. I am collaborating with a to-be-launched niche upmarket lifestyle magazine Fashion & Lifestyle Asia for their editorial fashion shoots. Simona Roy is the perfect ramp model with her long legs and slender body. Though my clothes cater and can fit women of varying shapes and sizes, I am happy to work with Simona Roy on this project."
