Report of the Fashion Designing Course for the Year 2015

The Fashion Designing had an enrolment of Twelve (12) students in the Diploma Course and

Nine (9) students in the Certificate Course during the year 2014-15. The classes for both the

courses started in the month of July and concluded in the month of May. Since most of the

students of the course during this year are pursuing their Bachelor Degree simultaneously,

therefore classes during the Selection Test and Final Examination had to be suspended and hence

the course cannot be completed during the stipulated time.

On the 5th of June 2015, the course had organized an Exhibition-cum-Sale of the works and

designs of the students of both Diploma and Certificate courses. Students donated Rs 770/- from

their earnings from the sale of their produce.

As part of the course content, the students were taken out for study tour on the 10th of June 2015

to NIFT Shillong at 11: 30 and then to the International School of Design Shillong. Here, the

students gained exposures on the various designing techniques and gathered knowledge on the

benefits of the designing world.

In the month of July- August, students were engaged in the making of seminar bags for the

International Seminar on Social Interaction and Cultural Milieu Identity and Change:

Interdisciplinary Perspectives held on the 7th and 8th of August 2015 organized by the Internal

Quality Assurance Cell, Lady Keane College.

On completion of their course and final examination, students were provided with three

internship programmes at the Department of Sericulture and Weaving Lukier Road, Garikhana,

Shillong for 2 weeks (1st - 14th July 2015) and with two renowned designers of the region Mr

Allan Wankhar for 10 days (22nd - 31st July 2015) and Deigratia Nongrum for 2 days (25th july

2015 & 1st August 2015). At the Sericulture Office, they were provided with training on

weaving, tying, dying etc. And the internship with the two designers added feathers to the

knowledge of designing from what they had learnt from the course.

Reports of the Exhibition-cum-Sale, Study Tours and Internship Programmes prepared by the

Report On study tour to

nift and international school of design

Our Fashion Department has recently organized a study tour as a

part of our learning to NIFT and International School of Design. It

was a wonderful experience. The trip started at 11:30 am along

with our teachers. From there we proceeded to our destination

with four cabs holding five members each from Police Bazaar to

NIFT.

On arriving NIFT, we were first taken to interior workshop where

we were given demonstration of different functions of working

machines by the guide.

We were then led to different rooms viz... Leather lab, tie and dye

room, pattern room, stitching room, etc.

Later, we headed to the library room, where various

accessories/designs created by the students were put on display

inside the room.

The trip to NIFT ended with our picture taken in front of the

institute. After that we took four cabs and left for International

School of design spring side, Nongthymmai, There, we were

welcomed by one of the faculty and were given advice on different

courses. One of the faculty, Mr. Rapbor gave us an explanation on

how the students in their institute are taught and are given

internship in Delhi and to assist top designers and also the

opportunity to display their own creation and designs on ramp.

He taught us not to be a tailor but to be a real designer… he advice

us to create our own design and not to copy from others.

We gained great knowledge from him and hope to indulge those

creative knowledge in our future.

While going there we get so much of Inspiration from Sir.Rapbor

about the fashion world…..

Conclusion

This tour has helped us to widen our knowledge of fashion and its

different functions. Through this, it had inspired us to work hard

and to follow our passion.
