JD Institute of Fashion Technology organizes Premium Fashion Show at D-arc BUILD Expo
New Delhi : In an atmosphere of clout and colour, JD Institute of Fashion Technology recently demonstrated the flair, dynamism and creativity of its students and faculty at the D-arc BUILD Expo organised in New Delhi. The expo which was organised by Zion Exhibition and the Institute of Indian Interior Designers (IIID) with JD Institute of Fashion Technology as an Institutional partner was held from 22nd to 25th September 2022 at Pragati Maidan.
The four-day design extravaganza drew participation from national and international brands in the design, architecture, building and construction, and other products and technologies industries to demonstrate innovation, expertise and creativity. The D-arc BUILD Expo provided the ideal platform for organisations to engage in B2B networking, while showcasing their potential by exhibiting new products, services, and offerings.
Speaking after the event, Mr. Harsh Dalal, Director of JD Institute of Fashion Technology, expressed his delight at the trajectory which the design industry is taking. He said “We provided a superb display and showed why we’re a force to reckon with in the fashion, interior decor, and design industries. Our exclusive fashion show on Day 2 was a masterstroke. We had design installations from our interior design students and garments from our fashion design students on display and the reaction of the audience was very commendable. Platforms like these provide an opportunity to meet other institutions, see what they’re doing, and also receive some sort of feedback and encouragement to students from industry veterans. Giving us the exclusive right to organise the fashion show also gave us the freedom to showcase the creativity and artistry embedded in the students of JD Institute of Fashion Technology”.
The event was attended by seasoned professionals from the art and design industry. Some highlights of the event include the discussion and sealing of deals among organisations, knowledge sharing sessions and detailed products exposition. It was a showcase of the latest trends in design and technology in the fields of construction, infrastructure, architecture and design. About 60 students from the institute also participated in the session facilitated by Mr. Bobby Mukherjee on “Creating New Histories”.
