NIFT Bangalore’s Annual Fashion Show

NIFT Bengaluru held its annual Fest Spectrum on the 14^th and 15^th of this month. The theme for this year’s fest was “ORENDA” which very simply means invisible magic power that pervades all natural objects as a spiritual energy.

The fest was held in the college campus which was decorated with dream catchers and lanterns specifically designed for the event. Various stalls were set up by the students selling handmade items. The whole atmosphere was filled with a fun and vibrant energy.

One of the most awaited events was the Spectrum Fashion Show where students of all disciplines participated to showcase their talents as a designer. The event was spectacular in terms of the new designs which came through. There were some really awe inspiring collections. Students experimented with various textures, motifs, embroideries and silhouettes to create ensembles never seen before. What really stood out was a collection which was a juxtaposition of leather and lace, two very contrasting elements tied together to create a striking collection. Other notable collections included puffed sleeves, earthy and muted colors and monochrome styles. 

The event was a huge success. It was commendable to see such young designers put up their collections. Each collection had an individual inspiration attached to it which lent it a very personal touch.
