THEME: FORMAL OFFICE WEAR

Inspiration: The beautiful art works of artist Vincent Van Gogh have inspired our designs.

Strength of your collection: Our collection has a very cool feel to it as we have used pastel colours. We have used printed garments on the top with plain bottoms.

Expectations from the Fashion Week: Through the Fashion Week, we want to show what we have learnt and achieved as fashion designers.

— Amrita Poon, Sujata Angdembe

THEME: BEDAZZLED

Inspiration: My collection is being created by combing small pieces of metals together. I have been inspired by metal as it is an element that shines and can make you shine!

Strength of your collection: I have moved away from the mainstream designs and given a whole new look to my

collection. It is purely high-end fashion.

Expectations from the Fashion Week: It will be my first step towards the fashion industry as a designer. I hope to gain

more confidence.

— Anita BK

THEME: CROCHET

Inspiration: We have been inspired by knitted haute couture outfits.

Strength of your collection: Knitting is one of the oldest forms to make clothes but we have given it a twist. We have used fabrics like net and Japanese silk. Our outfits are bright and stylish to look at, and super smooth when

you feel it.

Expectations from the Fashion Week: It is a great place to showcase not only our designs but also our talent and creativity. It is a platform for us to display our strength as designers.
