Bengaluru: The search for the nation’s most sought-after fashion influencer resumes with season 3 of the one-of-its-kind fully-shoppable, digital fashion reality show, Myntra Fashion Superstar, streaming from 11th November on Myntra Studio via Myntra App, and Voot. Viewers can watch the digital and fully shoppable reality fashion show in an 8-part series as this year’s show promises to be bigger and better, showcasing glimpses of real-life instances of the contestants, set to engage with audiences across the country with the thought-provoking theme, I Wear My Story.

Myntra Fashion Superstar (MFS) will not only give digital influencers across the country a platform to display their creativity to the judges and viewers, but also an opportunity to alter mindsets and create a larger impact on the community. Premiering on Myntra Studio via the Myntra app and Voot, the much-awaited digital reality show will have an esteemed panel of judges featuring India’s all-time favorite influencers Kusha Kapila, Aashna Shroff, Ankush Bahuguna, and Santu Misra, led by fashion doyen, Manish Malhotra.

MFS-3 will commence with 12 very talented contestants who will battle it out for the coveted title of India’s next big fashion influencer, through 8, 45-minute episodes. The contest has been designed to progressively eliminate contestants as the episodes advance until the grand finale where the judges handpick their favorite influencer to be crowned with the title of Myntra Fashion Superstar. This season, the influencers will also engage the audience through interactive live vlogs, as opposed to only traditional static video diaries with sheer creativity at the forefront. In return, the jury gives ‘likes’ to score the influencers that determine their future in the show.    

The theme #MFSIWearMyStory is about revealing the actual person behind the persona. In this digital world, most people hide behind camera tricks and forced transitions and often show the world unauthentic social media versions of themselves. ‘I wear my story’ is about staying true to one’s self and expressing one’s own journey in his or her own style, unfiltered and authentic, through fashion. It is about celebrating one’s self for who the person is, with all their inherent shortcomings, struggles, and glories, articulated through innovative fashion and beauty content. The key ingredients to becoming an influencer with the potential to impact mindsets and drive conversations that matter within their community are what the judges are looking for this season.

The 12 chosen contestants for MFS-3 are, 22-year old Cipia Artul, a full time content creator from Delhi, having executed uber-stylish campaigns for fashion and lifestyle brands including Urbanic and Boat; 25 year-old Shrawan Chhetri, an alumnus of NIFT, a budding fashion entrepreur based out of Delhi with his own fashion brand called, ‘Crucial’; 22-year old Tanya Gupta, a Literature graduate who is a freelance content creator from Kanpur and an advocate of inclusivity and mental health; 28-year old Samidha Singh, a finance graduate from Mumbai, who is now a full time fashion content creator; 29-year old Queen Andro from Darjeeling, who describes fashion as glamorous, androgynous and eclectic, 23-year old Yukti Chugh, from Indore, who kickstarted her fashion influencer journey last year and has already garnered a substantial following; 23-year old Jinal Jain, a NIFT graduate from Mumbai who won the prestigious Runway Award and has a quirky sense of style; 19-year old Priyam Yonzon, a style-first creator from Darjeeling, currently finishing fifth semester of English honors; 27-year old Devansh Kamboj, who is based out of Delhi, has an easy going ‘personality’ with funky style and frequently collaborates with his influencer wife, Maggi; 26-year old Ziean, a civil engineer from Itanagar, fashion & beauty blogger and avid dancer; 27-year old Adlina Angelo, an upcoming social media figure from Mumbai, who loves all things fashion, travel and wellness and Chandigarh-based Ankit Vaid, a visual merchandizer for 7 years with a distinct and sharp sense of style.
