Fashion for courage: Acid attack survivor Laxmi Saa is the new face for an apparel brand

The name Laxmi Saa is synonymous with inspiration and a fight-back attitude. Her adopted surname Saa stands for Stop Acid Attack, a movement she started after an incident that would bog any other person down. But not Laxmi, because she is undoubtedly one of India?s strongest women.

An acid attack survivor, Laxmi has tirelessly worked to bring about social change and help other attack survivors, doing which she effortlessly also sets the rules of the game of life, which usually involves smashing through stereotypes. One such example is her latest venture as the face of an Indian apparel website ? where she oozes courage and confidence. Viva N Diva, an apparels brand, is breaking stereotypes in the glam world and making way for a bigger change. And they have signed on Laxmi to be the new face for their designer outfits ? a campaign they call the ?Face of Courage?.Laxmi flew to Mumbai for the shoot in October 2015 and says she couldn?t be happier. ?I didn?t feel for a second that I wasn?t a professional model. I wasn?t made to feel I was a survivor. There were, lights, camera, make-up artists, it was different world and I enjoyed every moment of it. I love to dress up and here I was trying new clothes every minute. The feeling was beautiful,? she told Indian Express.com. - See more at: http://indianexpress.com/article/trending/trending-in-india/fashion-for-courage-acid-attack-survivor-laxmi-saa-is-the-new-face-for-an-apparel-brand/#sthash.24LgcVPM.dpuf
