WTF – Shopped

26 October 2017

What - Shop Till U Drop

Where - Taj Samudra Colombo

When - 21.10.2017

Last Saturday I got myself jazzed up in a LOVI, their new collection inspired by reaching for the stars “space prints” all put together by Asanka and Team for Colombo VIP Night’s Shop Til U Drop 2017. This one day shopping extravaganza was held at the Taj Samudra Hotel - Grand Marquee. The event had more than 40 of Sri Lanka’s premier vendors under one roof, most of the brands who I have worked with.

There were some great local talent, from Amberry, Fusion 14, Thirteen Thirty One, LOVI Ceylon, Rum Punch and so much more, Mariza even brought the Christmas feel to it.

A special feature of this 12 hour event was a few colorful dance acts by Imzy’s Loft and some fun things we at lite87 ended up doing. We spoke to Latika Alok about the event this year and with so many walking in, it proves its success,

“Colombo VIP Night continues to be a great place to network, connect with old and new friends and have fun in a safe environment. Shop Til U Drop was specially created in response to client demand. We have added a little twist, and introduced fun activities together with demos that promote local premier brands. It’s like shopping in a Mall all in one hall”

says Latika Alok, Event Producer. We at WTF, did a walk and did some shopping.

Danu Innasithamby

Danu Innasithamby is proof that one person can survive on coffee, curiosity, and an unhealthy number of WhatsApp messages. A television host, actor, producer, writer, and professional chatterbox, he’s spent years turning conversations into stories and stories into memorable television. Born in Jaffna and proudly calling Sri Lanka home, Danu has built a career around asking the questions everyone else is thinking—but with a smile that usually gets him out of trouble. Whether he’s interviewing celebrities, hosting major events, judging competitions, or chasing the next great story, there’s never really a dull moment. When he’s not on screen, he’s busy supporting local talent, championing meaningful causes through Sri Lankan Smile, or convincing himself that “just one more project” is a perfectly reasonable life choice. Known for his humour, colourful suits, quick wit, and the ability to make almost anyone laugh, Danu believes life is best lived with good conversations, great food, and a healthy dose of sarcasm. If you spot him, don’t be surprised if you’re suddenly part of an interview… or at least a really entertaining conversation.
