She Walks Free Presented by designer Anjali Phougat at the Blume Foundation’s Annual Gala - A Runway of Courage, Hope, and Healing.

In a night that shimmered with purpose and power, the Blume Foundation’s inaugural gala became a sanctuary of hope, healing, and high fashion. Among its most soul-stirring moments was the “She Walks Free” fashion show, a visionary presentation by internationally acclaimed designer Anjali Phougat.

This wasn’t just a fashion show—it was a movement on the runway. Each model who walked carried a story of resilience, liberation, and transformation. Survivors of abuse, champions of mental health, and advocates for women’s rights wore couture pieces designed not just to drape the body, but to honor the soul.

At the heart of this transformative evening was Vaishali Dev, the compassionate and dynamic CEO of the Blume Foundation. With her unwavering vision to support and empower survivors of domestic violence, Vaishali has created a platform that merges social impact with celebration, reminding the world that healing is beautiful, and every woman deserves to walk free—in her truth, in her power, and in style.

Anjali Phougat’s designs reflected the essence of feminine strength, blending symbolic elements of surrender, awakening, and freedom. Flowing silks, hand-embellished motifs, and powerful silhouettes told stories of pain turned into purpose. The show ended with a standing ovation as the final model raised her hands in victory, cloaked in a gown titled “Unchained”—a symbol of breaking free from all forms of oppression.

Together, Anjali Phougat and Vaishali Dev created a moment that will be etched in the hearts of many—a reminder that fashion can be a voice for the voiceless, and that when women rise, they lift the world with them.
