At 24, H.S. Soumyo Chhatar brings experience, clarity, and regional pride to the national runway. From Jeypore, Koraput in Odisha, his selection to walk at All India Fashion Week Bhubaneswar 2026, organised by Mission Dreams, reflects a journey that already extends beyond first-time exposure.
For Soumyo, walking at AIFW is both exciting and affirming. The platform represents scale, structure, and visibility — elements that matter to a model who understands the discipline behind fashion. His selection was an emotional moment, one that carried pride and validation for the work he has already invested in his craft.
Being associated with a national fashion week is not symbolic for him; it is practical. Soumyo views the runway as a space where cultural identity and youthful energy intersect. Walking in outfits that reflect Indian aesthetics while remaining contemporary aligns with how he sees fashion — expressive, rooted, and relevant.
Unlike many emerging faces, Soumyo steps onto the AIFW ramp with prior industry exposure. He has walked multiple ramps, worked on fashion campaigns and shoots with brands such as Baahar, and featured in music videos. These experiences have sharpened his camera presence and runway confidence. Additionally, his participation in Mr. Undivided Koraput 2025, where he secured the title, exposed him to diverse walking styles — traditional, western, and beach — strengthening his versatility as a performer.
At this stage of his career, modeling is more than visual appeal. For Soumyo, it is a form of empowerment and communication. He believes fashion is a medium to represent culture, assert individuality, and influence younger generations to see modeling as a voice rather than a vanity. Strength, intention, and self-expression define how he approaches the profession.
As he prepares to walk at All India Fashion Week Bhubaneswar 2026 under the Mission Dreams platform, H.S. Soumyo Chhatar stands as a model who blends experience with purpose — carrying culture forward with confidence and conviction.
