It was all shimmer, shine and style at the second preliminary round of the Metrolife Fashion Show, which was held at the Oxford College of Arts and Science in HSR Layout on Saturday.
The south zonal round saw some well-conceived concepts presented in brilliant ways which delighted the gathering. The Mount Carmel College walked away with the first prize for their ode to Chennai textiles and their presentation inspired by the temples of South India and a time when women and art were considered synonymous. The girls lit up the stage in their beautiful checked silk saris, traditional jewellery and ghungroos. Marking a deviation from the usual style, they started in a soft and mellow style which later picked up tempo and brought the house down.
The Dayananda Sagar Academy of Technology and Management won the second prize for their innovative costumes made out of paper. The creative yet highly fashionable attires would have looked at place on any runway in the world.
The Vogue Institute of Fashion Technology bagged the third place for their collection called 'Ashtamangalyam'. The ethnic wear with a twist made the crowd go crazy with the mirror detailing and stunning jewellery. The beautiful ensemble in velvet looked spectacular and showcased the creativity of the students to the maximum.
The Acharya Institute of Graduate Studies got the fourth prize for their presentation 'Sufi sultans and desi boys'. With more male models than females, this college was a trendsetter with its ornately designed costumes with multiple layers and sequins, coupled with exotic headgear.
The fifth place went to the T John College for their collection inspired by the kaleidoscope. The highly innovative garments in soft colours coupled with paper flower accessories and some fabulous props were a visual treat.
Other colleges, too, put up a spectacular show. The RV Institute of Management presented a Navarathri-themed collection with colourful ethnic wear and bright props. The Indian Institute of Fashion Technology had a 'game of thrones' inspired collection which was completed by a grunge look and innovative outfits of leather and velvet.
The VET First Grade College had a delightfully creepy looking red and black collection inspired by spiders. The Dayanand Sagar Business Academy showcased their skill and versatility with garments made of recycled mats and newspapers. The Bishop Cotton Women's Christian College presented the little black dress with a twist and the Oxford College of Science put up a stunning show with an ensemble in shades of orange and black with glittering mirror borders.
Along with the audience, the celebrity judges, too, had an enjoyable time. Actor Samyukta Hornad, model and actor Neha Shetty, designer Kamal Raj Manickath, actor Dhananjaya and guest of honour actor Kartik Jayaraman were all praise for the creativity of the students and the hard work put in by them. The grand finale of the fashion show will take place on September 10 at the Dayananda Sagar Institutions, Kumaraswamy Layout.
