Model Edna turns photographer for Rediff.com

August 27, 2016

Mexican model Edna Abigail lets us into the madness and calm at Lakme Fashion Week.

Behind the glitz and glamour and the success of a fashion week is a bunch of crazy, committed people who ensure everything falls in place.

Mexican model Edna Abigail turned photographer for a day and gave us insights into the other side of the world from her eyes.

Dear Readers, you are invited too.

IMAGE: No paparazzi! Models can be shy too.
