Paris ki raat aaj roshniyon se nahaayi hui thi. Eiffel Tower ke bilkul samne ek vishal (huge) glass dome banaya gaya tha, jahan duniya ke top 10 stylists ikatthe huye the. Har taraf cameras aur international media ki bheed thi.
Sufiyan ne apne white suit ke upar ek traditional Indian vest pehna tha. Ira uske peeche khadi thi, uske hath ab bilkul nahi kaanp rahe the.

"Ladies and Gentlemen!" anchor ne announce kiya. "Aaj ka pehla muqabla hai 'The Elemental Style'. Aapko nature (prakriti) ke kisi ek element ko baalon mein dikhana hai."
Duniya bhar ke stylists ne apni machine-e shuru kar di. France ke Julian ne 'Fire' element chunna aur hair dryers se baalon mein laal chamak paida ki. Tabhi Vikram Khanna ka hire kiya hua 'Illusionist' aage badha. Usne baalon par ek chemical spray kiya jisse aisa lag raha tha jaise baalon se asli dhuaan (smoke) nikal raha ho.
Sufiyan ne gehri saans li aur apni aankhein band kar li. Usne 'Water' (Paani) element chuna.

Sufiyan ne apni Silver Scissors ko ek khaas rhythm mein chalana shuru kiya. Usne koi spray ya color use nahi kiya. Usne hawa ki nami (moisture) ko baalon mein lock kar diya. Jab usne aakhri cut maara, toh model ke baal aise lag rahe the jaise koi behti hui naddi (river) ho. Roshni padte hi wo baal asli paani ki tarah chamakne lage.
Pura hall khamosh ho gaya. Judges apni kursi se uth khade huye. Ek judge ne aage badhkar model ke baalon ko chhua—"Ye namumkin hai! Ye baal nahi, ye behta hua resham hai!"
Vikram Khanna ka chehra peela pad gaya. Sufiyan ne dikha diya tha ki Saharanpur ka hunar technology ka mohtaj nahi hai.
