Stone N'string - licence holder for South Asian Games

SOUTH ASIAN GAMES: Stone N String, the exclusive licence holder for the 10th South Asian Games, unveiled their collection at a fashion show held in the Cinnamon Grand Hotel on August 11.

"The 10th South Asian Games is the biggest international sporting event Sri Lanka has the opportunity of hosting and we are very proud to be a part of this. This is essentially an event that brings one region together to celebrate the unity of sportsmanship," Mohideen Saheed, Founder of Stone N'String said. The theme of the show was 'Celebrating Togetherness'.

The night of colour and unity began with the unique drumbeats of Jananath Warakagoda, leading to the official mascot of the games - the national bird - being brought in. This was followed by a procession where the flags of the eight participating countries were carried in by flag bearers with officials from the National Olympic Committee and Stone N'String.

The unveiling of the official souvenirs was unique as for the first time a diverse range of models - from mature models, to kids, young boys and girls, film stars as well professional models - saluted the country by walking the ramp.

The catwalk had different collections that were showcased by the models - 'Desirables', 'Joy of Participation', 'memories', 'Forget Me Nots', the 'Glamour Collection ' and the 'Forever Collection'.

The 'Desirables collection comprised mementoes that the corporates would generally like to have. The 'Joy of Participation' collection consisted of T-Shirts, caps and handbags that the public can wear during the South Asian Games.
