Children are tomorrow’s future. In this fast paced life, there is always a tendency to push our children to be the next Einstein while they study, gearing up their mind to build a successful career and be financially independent. There is nothing wrong in this, but in this whole process we forget one important part!

That’s our children. What they really want and what’s their aptitude? Unfortunately in most families, due to our negligence in understanding the psychology of the kids we burden them with expectations beyond their abilities. Study turns into a burden which they must learn with a lot of enthusiasm and joy. Depression is becoming a common problem in our neighborhoods and still we are not able to identify and rectify the root cause.

Successful careers are not just made from the technological studies we do from academies. Today there are a lot of opportunities in different perspectives like sports, culture, art, cinema, television anchors, radio jockey, designing etc. Celebrities like Sachin, Shahrukh, Sania have built their successful careers from their childhood. They knew what they want to do, and it was the support of their parents helped them to achieve what they are today. It’s very important for us to nurture the inner talents of children along with their studies.

This will help them find happiness not only in the extracurricular activities but will also help them grow interest in academics.

METRO MART is very proud to be associated with Kids Fashion Events and Promotions as well as with the other stake holders of the first South India Kids Fashion Week, which is going to become a platform for a lot of children to showcase themselves and find out avenues for their talents. We congratulate and appreciate all the parents who have taken a big step to come out of conventions and have given their kids this extra exposure which is going to help them in building confidence, build interactions, polish communication skills, and a lot.

Everyone who participated in this show is a winner, and our heart goes with them.

Foreword

COVER STORY

Walk the ramp with lil’ steps’….

‘A thing of beauty is a joy forever’…so said Keats the greatest romantic poet of all times. And what if the ‘thing of beauty’ is a toddler or a kid? The joy is doubled…and what if they come, cat walking with rap music playing in the backdrop, draped in apparels flaunting their style statement on their sleeve? The joy is immeasurable… Trivandrum, witnessed an awesome event that took everyone to raptures. The otherwise quaint Trivandrum hosted the South India kids fashion week (SIKFW)-the first of its kind in Kerala on 25th May 2014 at the Mascot Hotel, Thiruvananthapuram.

Ambili Nair Kids Fashion shows becomes a rage these days and young tots are wildly excited to be the cynosure of everyone. The way they pose for the clicks,

I just wanted to thank you for your cooperation with the wonderful eventSIKFW 2014.Thank you for all the assistance you have provided to me during the biggest Kids’ event in our city. After the remarkable success in Thiruvananthapuram, we - Metro Mart - jointly with Kids Fashion Events and Promotions are coming up with South India Kids Fashion Week in other cities of Kerala. Kindly visit us at the website www.sikfw.com for more details.

South India Kids Fashion Week, India’s only prestigious and exclusive kids show, is a creative way of highlighting kids fashion. It personifies beauty and elegance with the kids’ models walking briskly down the runway, exhibiting products to enhance the beauty and radiance altogether.

It provides a platform to promote kids’ brands, connect with distributors and get a foothold into the Kerala market. It aims to become the ‘dominant platform and gateway’ for any brand looking to enter children’s fashion market in Kerala.

The success of the event was determined by the participants – both on stage and offstage. The number of competitors on stage were quite high. Parents who turned out at the event found it to be a great platform for the children. It was evident that many children who won prizes would find it a great stepping stone to the Modelling world. Visitors and other esteemed guests at the Fashion show had great appreciation for the organizers. They were of the view that such events would give the children a good way to develop confidence and improve their presentation skills.

It was fortunate for us - at Metro Mart – to have had an opportunity to provide the children and parents in Thiruvananthapuram a much-needed fashion impetus.
