A total of 120 outfits were put to display before an enthusiastic and cheering crowd of more than 4000 people. To showcase the designs, models having featured in Lakme & Wills Fashion Week were called in from Delhi. But the pick of the event was Claudia Ceisla, the German Supermodel who not only graced the event in the capacity of the Guest of Honour, but also set ramp ablaze with her style and aura. The model has won accolades from various quarters of Indian TV industry for her performance in widely watched reality show “Big Boss”.
Shri Ramesh Mittal, Chairman – Lovely International Trust inaugurated the function and said, “Fashion industry is one particular domain where there is tremendous potential of employment, growth and fame. As time progresses, the industry will expand fast and professionals will have bigger opportunities. LPU, on its part, is committed to shape its fashion tech students into the best designers through quality education and extensive training .After the inaugural ceremony, the colourful display of designer dresses by students of LPU was kicked off. The students were divided in 14 groups with each of them showcasing their collection corresponding to a particular theme. Among various themes exhibited were “Contained Desires” (inspired by Rural Baskets), “Overdrive”(inspired by Crime), “Darbar-e-Khas” (inspired by Mughal Architecture ), “Careless Glam”(inspired by Punk Culture ), Dahomean Troopers”(inspired by Warrior Women of Africa), “Deck of Fun”(inspired by Joker of Cards), “Veiled Purity” (inspired by Dark Angels ), “Oopar Niche”(inspired by Snakes & Ladders ), Egyptian Masquerade” (inspired by Egyptian masks), “Popular Prowess” (inspired by Pop Art), Minimum Amplification”(inspired by Small things Amplified), “Antar Stuti” (inspired by Buddha's Peaceful Eyes) and Queen of Strings (inspired by Paper Puppets).
Claudia Ceisla played the role of a “Show Stopper” as she featured in “Veiled Purity” and “Popular Prowess” collections. The theme of “Veiled Purity” was based on the notion that angelic behaviour is all about good thoughts and good deeds, and has not much to do with appearances. In “Popular Prowess”, she upheld the popularity of poop music amongst youth, through her dresses. Draped in dazzling dresses designed by students of LPU, she set the crowd in celebration mode as she glided along the ramp. Whistles, claps and cheers greeted her, as she illuminated the show with her dazzling smile and impeccable style. She carried herself easily and seemed to be enjoying in dresses designed by LPU students. While designing the her dress, factors like fore-casted international trends of the season were borne in mind. All the dresses put to display in show were crafted in house by the students, supported by high tech infrastructure technologies. The students also created accessories, trims and footwear in house to complete the look of collection.
Claudia Ceisla addressed the gathering during the closing ceremony and said, “Beyond doubt, India is emerging as a serious contender for global supremacy in fashion world. The potential of budding fashion designers is at par with the best in the business, but it needs to be promoted in a big way so as to make it visible to the outside world. The creative work of LPU students, as shown today, is a pointer to this fact that there is no dearth of quality fashion technology professionals in India who can be future's trend setters.” At the end of the day, prizes were distributed by Claudia Ceisla, amidst thunderous applauses and cheering shrieks. The event promised to return with a bigger bang in next year.
