The Runway Revolution

As the Faculty and Discipline Coordinator of the Textile and Apparel Design Department at NID Assam, I've always believed in fostering creativity and innovation among our students. One of the most exciting initiative that stemmed from this vision is the "Runway Revolution" fashion show. This annual showcase isn't just about displaying garments; it's a celebration of hard work, collaboration, and the vibrant talent that thrives within our institution.

At its core, Runway Revolution is a culmination of ideas sparked during our fourth-semester course, "Garment Construction." Here, students delve into the intricacies of design, from conceptualization to creation. They explore trends, develop mood boards, and craft detailed briefs, all while honing their skills in garment construction. Working in groups, they brainstorm, receive feedback, and refine their designs under my guidance.

The journey from concept to catwalk is a meticulous process. It begins with sketches and fabric swatches, progresses through pattern making and sewing in our workshops, and culminates in the meticulous fitting sessions where every stitch and seam is scrutinized. Our students not only learn the technical aspects of fashion but also imbibe the essence of teamwork and perseverance.

What sets Runway Revolution apart is its inclusivity. While it showcases the best of our Textile and Apparel Design students, it also features collaborations with other departments. Students from diverse disciplines contribute their skills in photography, videography, and social media management, adding depth and dimension to the show. It truly becomes a campus-wide celebration of creativity and collaboration.

The excitement builds as the garments are meticulously fitted to models, ensuring they reflect the designers' vision flawlessly. Each piece tells a story of dedication, passion, and the pursuit of excellence. It's a testament to the rigorous training and mentorship provided by our faculty, who guide and inspire students every step of the way.

Ultimately, Runway Revolution isn't just a fashion show; it's a platform where dreams take shape and creativity knows no bounds. It exemplifies the spirit of innovation that defines our department and sets the stage for future generations of fashion leaders. As we look forward to each new edition, we celebrate not only the garments but also the journey of growth and discovery that defines our students' experience at NID Assam.

Join us as we witness the revolution unfold, one stitch at a time, on the runway of creativity and inspiration.

Course guided by:  Dibyendu Nag, Faculty & Discipline Coordinator, Department of Textile & Apparel Design.
