New Delhi: Nicole Faria's winning the "Miss Earth 2010" contest in Vietnam is a proud moment for India and is indicative of its growth in the world of fashion, leading designers said Sunday.
This is the first time an Indian has won the "Miss Earth" title. Last year, the title went to Brazil's Larissa.
"It's a proud moment for India. It's a very good thing that Indians are making a mark and an Indian woman who is both beautiful and intelligent has won such a pageant," designer Nida Mehmood said.
"India has become more of a cosmopolitan. It is acting like a sponge taking in from the world. If your capacity is more you can endorse more," she added.
Designer Raghavendra Rathore felt that the development would have a positive impact on the nation's image. He said that it added value to the nation's image and wanted Nicole Faria to take the message of new India all across the world.
Parvesh of the designer duo Jai-Parvesh also voiced a similar opinion and said, "I think it's good that an Indian has won the pageant and is getting recognition at such a level, it shows our growth in the world of fashion."
Delhi-based designer Rajvi Mohan too felt Faria's win would be a positive development for India.
However, designer Vijay Arora felt that although it's a good thing that Faria won, the event itself was inconsequential.
"It's very good that she has won but I don't give any importance to beauty pageants. There are more important things happening, people are dying of poverty," he said.
