Ravishing Fashionistas

We exist to help women to embrace themselves confidently by breaking through stereotypes in the fashion industry. We are setting a new standard where any woman can be a model in their own right and own their confidence irrespective of body types, background and beliefs.

Our vision is to help the average women from disparate cultural backgrounds to reach their maximum potential and find their uniqueness to be a better version of themselves. Unique concept Ravishing Fashionistas Team under the leadership of Upma Kite has delivered four consecutive sold out fashion shows, that draw attention, and overwhelming response.

The 1st show was in March 2019 at Sofitel while the second show in Feb 2020 at Stamford Plaza, August 2021 at the Royal International Convention Centre and most recently, August 6th 2022 at Old Government House. Upma Kite, Mrs. Universal Australia 2019, as founder and concept creator of RF is determined to deliver an exceptional experience along with the Fashionistas Team.

With our persistent vision RF has launched a modelling academy which will provide mentoring coaching to aspiring models. Every year RF pledged to donate part of profits raised through the event to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Cancer Council, UN Women Committee Australia, and Dignifying Women.

RF Team which consists of Volunteers is offering mentoring, coaching, and personal empowerment so women just like you – all ages, sizes, and from diverse backgrounds, can be the best version of themselves. We hope you are ready to come on the Ravishing Fashionistas journey with us – filled with passion and positive energy. See you on the runway!

What We Do?

The most difficult barriers to overcome are often the ones you erect for yourself, so say yes to yourself and then see what happens. This is the mindset we want to inculcate into the minds of all women, especially those wanting to make a career in modelling. We also want to mentor and guide these women as well as train them to be their Best.

Ravishing Fashionistas is not your typical modelling agency that looks for size-zero models with ‘perfect’ hair and skin to walk the ramp at Fashion Shows and Weeks. Instead, we are here to break that trend by bringing inclusiveness and ‘realness’ to the modelling and beauty world. We have a four-pronged strategy to accomplishing this objective that includes:

Offering the resources, platform, and/or confidence needed by young, middle-aged and older women to overcome their fears and break the stereotypes in the beauty, fashion, and related industries. 

Empowering women suffering from domestic violence to not only take a stand against their aggressors, but also to confidently venture out into the world to explore the numerous opportunities that await them in beauty, fashion, and other fields. 

Helping women looking to make a career in the modeling or fashion industry to grow and become the best versions of themselves through the right guidance, mentoring, training and workshops. 

Using partnerships and collaborative events to support local women in business to help them grow and flourish; the objective is to help women-owned/run local businesses so they can grow to a level where it is possible for them to support other, deserving women in need by providing employment or helping them in their careers/business ventures.
