Model Sherin Sam on her journey
|
Desi girl Sherin Sam
She was unsure. But to fashion director Marc Robinson, it looked as if debut model Sherin Sam had walked the ramp a thousand times. He told her so on her maiden walk. This was all she needed to hear at the Pantaloon Femina Miss South earlier this yea
r to gain confidence. Ford, the international model agency, spotted her, and she competed with 65 models to be crowned Grazia Ford Supermodel of India World.
She became a Ford model following the likes of Bipasha Basu, and went on to represent Ford at its fashion event at Montenegro. “My parents felt so proud,” she recalls.
And, to think, her entry into modelling was “just for a lark,” after being persuaded by friends. But, it was the Ford experience that catapulted her onto the international scene. “It has been overwhelming. It has changed my life and I have learnt a lot from it,” she says.
Sherin believes that the success of Parvathy Omanakuttan and Deepthi Varughese (Miss India Worldwide, 2009, India) in the fashion field has paved the way for more Malayali girls.
So, what’s next? “Acting. It is the natural step after modelling,” she says.
