Ramani Fernando Salons are the Hair and Beauty partners of the Colombo Fashion Week – Resort Wear Show. When it comes to mega shows such as this, Ramani Fernando and her team always turns out to be the first choice, and one does not have to look elsewhere.

With loads of experience handling mega events and international models Ramani has been able to combine the talents of her highly trained staff with a disciplined, precision routine that is key to success in events such as this.

“We look forward to the Colombo Fashion Week each year, as it gives us a tremendous amount of satisfaction in the work we do in it, and to be involved in the Resort Wear Show is an additional bonus. It keeps the creative minds of our hair and makeup artists ticking,” said Ramani.

Coordinating a show like this is real hard work and unless one has the resources, talent and experience, one can get completely overawed and washed away. “It’s quite a challenge working with international and Sri Lankan professional models who regularly feature on the catwalk and do not settle for anything other than the best,” said senior stylist Dilhara.

Ajay Vir Singh, the architect of the Colombo Fashion Week, which has gone places in the international fashion scene, in the years of its existence, does not miss an opportunity when he has a glimpse of one, and his plan to present a Resort Wear Show is a great idea. It has not only got the fashion industry buzzing, but also the tourist industry.

Ramani Fernando and her team, who have been an integral part of the Colombo Fashion Week from the day it was unveiled, are hugely excited about the Resort Wear Show. “It’s been a wonderful experience working with renowned professionals like Prasad Bidapa, Ajay Singh and Perine Fernando, at the Colombo Fashion Week, over the years, and we have another opportunity of showcasing the hair and beauty talents of Sri Lankans, complementing the fashion designers,” said Ramani.

“With world class events like this, our staff also has something to look forward to, and have to up their game, to keep abreast of the fashion trends worldwide. With Fashion TV televising the Colombo Fashion Week, fashion in Sri Lanka has stamped its class amongst the best. The Resort Wear Show will also receive such television exposure and the opportunity would be immense for designers and hair and makeup artists to make their mark,” said Azhar of Ramani Fernando Salons.

The event has attracted some of the best known sponsors – HSBC, Range Rover, Colombo Jewellery Stores, and Avirate – and there is no doubt that the fashion enthusiasts in the city would be trekking down to Jetwing Lagoon to get a taste of what is on offer.

Ramani Fernando and her team made up of some of the best hairstylists and makeup artists in the country, whose reputations extend even outside the borders of Sri Lanka and have already set their sights on putting some of their best ideas on show.
