Rising Stars Redefining the Runway in Nepal’s Fashion Frontier

In the vibrant, ever-evolving world of Nepal’s fashion scene, En Vogue X did more than crown winners — it spotlighted fresh faces who are now reshaping the industry with creativity, confidence, and character. Among the shining names to emerge from this landmark season are Jasmine Shakya (1st Runner-Up), Biyom Jung Rana (2nd Runner-Up), and Sanam Aryal (2nd Runner-Up) — three dynamic individuals who now stand at the forefront of Nepal’s modeling and creative movement.

Jasmine Shakya: Creative Force with a Fashion Identity

“This industry doesn’t shape me — I shape my place in it.”

Jasmine Shakya is more than a model — she’s a storyteller, content creator, and 2D animator, blending visuals and fashion into a single creative force. “Hi! I’m Jasmine Shakya, the 1st runner-up of En Vogue X,” she introduces with refreshing clarity. “My purpose is simple: I bring ideas to life and make sure they leave a mark, no matter the medium.”

For Jasmine, the fashion world isn’t just about looking good — it’s about bold expression, authenticity, and connection. “It’s where confidence meets creativity, where I’ve learned to push my boundaries and stay grounded in the chaos.”

Her personal style? A fluid blend of Y2K streetwear, Japandi minimalism, and gothic-meets-playful aesthetics. She draws inspiration from icons like Billie Eilish and Lara Raj from Katseye, while endlessly remixing Pinterest looks to match her vibe. “Fashion’s about owning your vibe and doing you,” she says.

Jasmine credits En Vogue X as a game-changer: “It taught me what real hustle looks like. After that, just dropping ‘House of Fashion’ got me noticed — I landed modeling gigs I wouldn’t have had before.” Through the competition, she also discovered an inner grit: “What surprised me most was how badly I wanted it. Winning isn’t just about talent — it’s about showing up and making your efforts count.”

And when it comes to style rules? “Tight tops with baggy pants — always. But socks with sandals? I break that one on purpose.”

Biyom Jung Rana: Composure, Consistency & Quiet Drive

“Being the runner-up of En Vogue was a result of consistent effort.”

For Biyom Jung Rana, the journey to the runway spotlight was paved with discipline and dedication. His 2nd runner-up title wasn’t just a trophy — it was a signpost affirming his commitment to modeling as a serious career. “When my name was announced, I felt immense pride,” he reflects. “It was a powerful reminder that hard work really does pay off.”

En Vogue X became a pivotal chapter in his growth. “It opened up many opportunities and helped me evolve both professionally and personally,” he shares. He credits the competition — and the mentorship it offered — with helping him unlock a deeper understanding of himself as a model. With commercial shoots and future runway shows already in motion, Biyom is walking forward with clarity and confidence.

To the fresh faces of En Vogue XI, Biyom offers grounded advice: “Put in the work, push past your limits, and the results will follow.”

Sanam Aryal: Poise, Passion & Personal Style

“It was a surreal moment!”

Energetic, confident, and passionate — Sanam Aryal wears her second runner-up title with pride. Her defining moment on the En Vogue X stage remains close to her heart. “I felt proud and truly happy — a reminder that when you believe in yourself and work hard, success follows.”

For Sanam, the competition was a masterclass in identity-building. “En Vogue helped me shape and sharpen my style — from fashion sense to presentation.” It taught her to carry herself confidently, choose looks with intention, and most importantly, to express her personality through fashion.

The title boosted both her confidence and her career momentum. With a return walk set for En Vogue XI, she’s ready to continue evolving in the modeling space she’s grown to love. Her advice to the next generation? “Believe in yourself, stay focused, be kind and authentic.”

More Than a Competition — A Creative Catalyst

From bold aesthetic experiments to grounded personal transformations, Jasmine, Biyom, and Sanam represent the emerging wave of Nepali fashion icons — each distinct, yet united by their En Vogue journey. With eyes set on new projects and runways ahead, they’re not just faces of the past season — they’re the future of the industry.
