Jane Dipika Garrett, the Miss Universe Nepal title-holder and a fervent advocate for body positivity, captivated the audience as Michael Cinco’s latest muse during the Dubai Fashion Week.
The fashion spectacle, aptly named “The Impalpable Dream of Japan,” drew inspiration from the rich tapestry of Japanese culture, ranging from the elegance of traditional kimonos and geisha culture to the ephemeral beauty of cherry blossoms.
Jane, who made headlines in November 2023 for breaking barriers as the first plus-size contestant to compete in an international beauty pageant, graced the runway showcasing Cinco’s latest collection.
Her participation in the 2023 Miss Universe competition not only garnered international attention but also marked a historic moment, as she became the first contestant of her size to participate and advance to the semi-finals in the history of the competition.
Representing Nepal, she achieved a top twenty placement, a feat not accomplished by a Miss Nepal since 2018, and set a precedent for inclusivity and representation in beauty pageants.
