The unique event, titled ‘Vision Vogue Fashion Week’, was organised at a crowded vegetable market in Vasai. Unlike conventional fashion shows, the event required neither an expensive runway nor a luxury hotel or grand hall. Instead, the narrow lanes of the vegetable market became the catwalk, while everyday vegetables replaced expensive fashion accessories.
The most striking feature was the way the models incorporated vegetables into their appearances. Dressed in stylish outfits, they confidently walked through the market carrying radishes and bunches of fresh coriander. While one model was seen holding a radish, another used a bunch of green coriander as an accessory.
These are vegetables that people normally purchase for their daily meals, but their unexpected appearance as fashion props gave the event a distinctive character. Vegetable shops remained open, shoppers continued browsing and vendors stayed busy with their regular work as models walked through the narrow market lanes.
The models carried themselves with the confidence of participants at a major fashion week, attracting the attention of people present in the market. A place usually filled with conversations about vegetable prices and daily purchases suddenly became a setting for fashion and style.
The unusual fashion show was conceptualised by Mumbai-based fashion mentor and model Sahil Singh. He wanted to present fashion from a different perspective and challenge the idea that fashion is limited to expensive designer outfits, major brands and luxurious locations.
His concept centred on the idea that creativity and confidence can transform an ordinary location into a distinctive platform. With this approach, he decided to organise a fashion show inside a vegetable market and named the initiative ‘Vision Vogue Fashion Week’.
Sahil Singh also shared a video of the fashion walk on his Instagram account, @fashiontipssahil. The video features male and female models confidently walking through the market lanes, surrounded by vegetable stalls and shoppers going about their daily purchases.
Despite the unconventional setting, the models appeared as though they were participating in an international fashion show. Their outfits, confident walks and unusual accessories created a striking contrast with the everyday atmosphere of the vegetable market.
The video also attracted attention for its background music. The trending Pahadi song ‘Swami Pardes’ plays during the fashion walk, adding to the unusual combination of music, modelling and vegetables. The song's tune, the models' confidence and their distinctive use of radishes and coriander together make the video an entertaining watch.
Another notable aspect of the event was that the market retained its original appearance throughout the fashion show. The vegetable shops were not converted into elaborate sets, nor was the usual activity of the market hidden. Instead, the models performed against the backdrop of the functioning market, allowing the everyday surroundings to remain an integral part of the concept.

After Sahil Singh's video surfaced on social media, the unusual experiment began attracting attention and reactions from viewers. People have been responding to the models' confidence and the creative concept behind the fashion show. While some found the sight of models catwalking with radishes and coriander amusing, others viewed it as a different kind of experiment in the fashion industry.
The event demonstrated how an ordinary location and everyday objects could be used to create a distinctive fashion presentation without relying on a large budget. In Vasai, a vegetable market that people usually visit to purchase fresh produce offered shoppers an unexpected opportunity to watch a fashion show for free.
The ‘Vision Vogue Fashion Week’ has brought an unconventional twist to the traditional idea of a fashion runway, turning vegetables such as radishes and coriander into unexpected fashion accessories and an ordinary market into a platform for creative expression.
