All Mixed Up..
How
seriously a fashion school takes its students can be gauged from their
shows. At a presentation by students of the National Institute of Fashion
Design's Hauz Khas Enclave branch in Delhi last week, the design sequences
were just another part of a melange of music and dance performances. An
unfair diversion, especially since some of the students were rather
impressive. Like the winner of the Most Creative Collection prize, Sandeep
Malhotra, 19, who created "Bizarre Art" (boldly coloured
patchwork on a white base) "because I'm a jolly person". And
Overall Best Collection winner Sanjay Kumar, 22, who made a skirt that
could be lengthened and shortened by the wearer by pulling a ribbon
running through it. "It was unfair to the kids that the whole thing
was mixed up with an entertainment evening," says designer Leena
Singh, a judge that day. "It should have been a more serious fashion
show." It's just a one-year-old institute, so next time, maybe?
