"I have seen some great designs here that have really inspired me. For me, what is important in a garment is the selection of material. It is all about the fabric. There are so many options here when it comes to fabrics," the 24-year-old said in an interview.
"Then you can really see the labour put behind in every garment with sequins, beads, embroidery, etc. This is only in India, you don't see this anywhere else. It's only in India that you see people wearing these clothes that are well-made and hours and hours have gone behind those clothes to make them what they are. So I'm very inspired by the labour that people put here in making the clothes and the fabrics," he added.
No wonder... that we budding fashion designers are made to work religiously with needles and threads. We have been learning embroidery techniques such as Kasuti, Phulkari, Chikankari, Kutch which has its roots from across the diversely cultured nation we live in. After months of struggle, we had our final jury display few weeks ago.
Here are some jaw-droppingly-intricate and seeexxyyy stuff that our classmates put on display.
