Collection show. The show would be held on the 24th, May 2019 at Shivalik Public School, Mohali.
The show will present a rich blend of
54 lovely collections. The students also have creatively used woven, knits,
woolen blends, silk, metal art, digital printing, screen printing, to enhance
the creativity of their themes and collection. The show will be Choreographed by Dr. Simrita Singh and Ms.
Navdeep Kaur.
The themes of ensembles created give
very pertinent social messages, which vary from making people aware about
global warming to empowering trans-genders. To bring upfront the discrimination
against trans-genders and for changing one’s mindset towards them, a collection
‘Sab Rab De
Bande’ designed by Jagriti was
displayed at the preview. In fact trans-genders will be walking the ramp
wearing the collection during ‘Anukama 2019’. Then the message of global
warming has also been sounded in ‘Wake up humans, You are endangered too’
by Simardeep Kaur. In ‘Gurdasta’ by Dilman Kaur Dhami, Punjab’s
rich Sikh and Architecture has been encapsulated. ‘Fusion
Fashion by Bhawna let’s walk with tribal tradition’, has brought
alive tribal art in its myriad forms. The dying art of ‘Thangka’ paintings
(Tibetan art) has been brought centre-stage in the collection by Anusha. There
is a collection ‘Tha Se Thatera’ dedicated to Punjab’s Thatera art which has
also been accepted in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list. There were
other very creative collections showcased.

watching them evolve from a student to being a professional designer was enriching
and very satisfying.
Three years of learning, toil, trials
and tribulations will culminate at the annual ramp presentation – Anukama
‘2019. This final presentation is an integration of the learning that the
students imbibe during their education at the institute. Through the media of
colors, materials, finishes and techniques, students express individual
statements as design solution.
For the first time as a departure
from tradition and on the request of the students, some of the students’ opted
to do their internship with export houses and design houses. Their learning is
reflected in their designs.
An eminent jury made up of fashion
designers, industry experts and art proponent were invited to evaluate the
collection for the awards.
