JD Institute of Fashion Technology has completed its 21 years of dedicated contribution towards the fashion industry & they celebrated its 21st Graduation Day by holding the Grand Finale of “JD Annual Design Awards 2010” at F Bar & Lounge, Ashoka Hotel, Delhi on July 16, 2010.
Aimed at showcasing the upcoming & potential designers the event witnessed an attractive line of Ethnic, Western & Avante Garde collections both for Men’s & Women’s designed by the final year students of JD Institute of Fashion Technology. The garments designed by the students were based on the theme of “TRANSFORM”. To design the collection the students seek inspiration from the art, culture & couture from Austria, Greece, Iceland & Ireland. They observed & absorbed all things foreign from these countries & then fuse them seamlessly with all things Indian. The collection designed by the students reflected the new trends the young designers will be offering to the Indian Fashion Industry in the near future.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. RC Dalal- Director of the JD Institute of Fashion Technology said, “The theme was an idea to tell the designers to look beyond the regular & the students have done full justice to the theme”
