Our students have shown their talent and creativity in the thought process by representing these two aspects in their works. It is remarkable how they have worked towards honing multi-layered competence for professional practice, which is necessary for distinction in the highly competitive industry."
The final works of the class of 2008 were exhibited at the event in a static display and introduced the students to the styling and fashion industry.

Ms. Nien Siao, HOD, Fashion Design said "As the society is moving into overlapping niches segments, need of managing own image and making a statement can be clearly heard. It may be in clothing or food or other areas of lifestyle. This course is a landmark that caters to need for trained professionals in this area of styling."
