Our goal is to launch a sustainable campaign that has never been attempted before in history. Our motto is "Peace, Friendship, and Long-Term Development." The Sustainable Fashion Show's agenda is to slow down fast fashion and encourage nonviolent silk. Empowered Queens from G20 countries who have graced the Miss Earth, Miss World and Miss Universe stage will bring half a kilo of sand, and after the Fashion Show on the 30th at Umling-La, the empowered Queens will mix the sand onto a readymade mould of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam at the highest altitude in the world (19,022 feet)'

With our motto "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam", meaning, "The World Is One Family", our goal is to unite our countries and launch a sustainable campaign urging to slow down fast fashion while encouraging the use of ethically sourced materials. After the show, which takes place on one of the world's highest roads, we will mix sand collected from each of our countries on a readymade mould of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" at the highest altitude in the world (19,022 feet). If accomplished, our names will go down in the Guinness Book of World Records, forever encouraging "One Earth, One Family, One Future". Thank you, Mr. Pankaj K. Gupta, for giving me the opportunity to show we are more than citizens of our nation, we are citizens of the world. This event is being organized by the Ladakh Arts and Entertainment Alliance in collaboration with the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council and the Indian Army. Mr. Pankaj K. Gupta, an International fashion expert and two-time Guinness Book of World Records holder, is curating and mentoring the event.'
