STUDENT’S WORK

The students of Fashion & Lifestyle Design went to Bhuj in Gujarat to explore the craft treasure as part of

their curriculum under the subject named “Craft Documentation”. Ms. Garima Vashisht, a faculty member

of IAM accompanied the students to the villages of Gujarat. The magnificent hands on experience of two

weeks on “Exploration of Indian Craft Traditions Project” with the artisans in the workshops of Kala-

Raksha, an NGO in ‘Toonda Vand’ provided students a splendid exposure about the existence of art in

Gujarat. Away from the hustle and bustle of the Metropolitan life, the students got the insight of the

incredible craftsmanship of Gujarat. The workshops incorporated the embroideries done by different

tribes of Kutch, famous Block printing–Ajrakh, Batik Block printing, weaving on the pit loom and the

colorful tie and dye process. Ms. Judy Frator, a world renowned author of the book named “Threads of

Identity”, interacted with the students regularly to upgrade the knowledge of the students about the craft

at present. The students indeed got great exposure by living among the craftsmen of Gujarat.

Three students of IAM, Kriti Biala, Irika Mehta and Suchi Smita of Fashion and Lifestyle Design, second

semester experimented on theme ‘rainbow and earth’ on quilling. Quilling or paper filigree is an art

form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create

decorative designs. The paper is wound around a quill to create a basic coil shape. The paper is then

glued at the tip and these shaped coils are arranged to form flowers, leaves, and various ornamental

patterns similar to ironwork. This exercise helps students to develop a great sense of design quality into

their future original work. “We prepared this dress based on the theme ‘rainbow and earth’. The seven

colours of rainbow have been used extensively. And the skirt in earth colour helps neutralize the

rainbow colours” said Kriti Biala. “Through this design we are trying to depict how the rain and sun

together form the rainbow with the drop shaped quillsmade from paper in the shades of a rainbow.

These droplets fall on the barren ground depicted by the black flower quills and the flowers bloom and

grow in beautiful rainbow colours” added Irika Mehta. IAM students are trained under the able

guidance of Mr. Snehasish Ray (Chief Coordinator, International Pathways) and Ms. Garima Vashist.

the efforts put in by the students and the creative output

timeless, but innovative ideas can only create sustenance

and help in the industry growth”.

The final year students of Apparel Design and Merchandising visited different places in Uttar

Pradesh to explore the traditional art and craft as part of “Craft Documentation”. Ms. Archana Puri

and Mr. Gurmeet Singh, faculty members of IAM accompanied the students to various places of

Uttar Pradesh such as Bareilly, Rampur and Moradabad. While in Bareilly, the students learnt vivid

art and craft work like Zari & Zardozi, cane furniture, bamboo work, wooden furniture etc. The

students also visited different villages in Bareilly named as Kargaina, Maheshpura, Bidoliya to

interact with the artisans to explore about the variety of pearls, sequins etc. After Bareilly, the

students proceeded to Rampur, the place famous for its hand crafted product of applique work

called Patti work. This handcraft is one of the majorly adopted sources of women empowerment in

Rampur. The students learnt this work from the ladies and understood how the fabric is cut into

motifs, hemmed onto the base fabric and stems are embroidered in stem stitch. Thereafter, the

students went to Moradabad, which helped them understand functions of many small scale brass

ware industries of art brass ware. The students of ADM are inspired from Indian craft and are now

converting it to “Furture of Fashion”.

“Do Denim Makeover”

Two students of IAM, Kanishk Bhardwaj and Kanika Mahajan participated in the “Do Denim

Makeover” event organised by the Future Group at Central Mall, MG Road Haryana. The

event started on 4th June 2013 for a period of one month. Students got an opportunity to

apply real time Denim Makeover advises and work on makeover plans with the customers.

Activities on Do Denims include Embellishments, Embroidery, Patch works, Threading, Prints,

Colour, Shredded and Embossing. Gurgaon Central provided the raw material and tailoring

support. They got a chance to work on denims brands like Lee, Wrangler, Levi’s, Voi, Pepe

Jeans, Flying Machine and U.S. Polo. “The response is really amazing. We have an average of 8

to 10 walk-ins every day for the makeover. And we feel good when the customers are happy at

the end of the makeover.” said Kanishk Bhardwaj, student of IAM. Do Denim was born in 2004

and the international distribution started in 2007. Do Denim is a lifestyle apparel concept that

brings together global fashion trends and product value without compromising top quality

materials and finishes. Unlike most market participants, Do Denim has introduced a wide

assortment of styles in its Tops and Jeans throughout the year.

been set-up by the Apparel industry to cater to the manpower needs of this industry. With the DNA of

the apparel industry driving the institute and with the focus on creating Industry-ready professionals,

IAM has carved a niche in a short span of time since its formal launch of long-term Academic

programms for Academic Year 2012-13. I compliment the team of IAM for building on the concept of

Multi-Varsity with a learner-centric approach where a student has multiple options to choose from the

bouquet of programs.”

Safety and Dignity for Women

The young and fashionable

students of Institute of Apparel

Management, Gu rgaon

draped up in trendy look and

traveled in Metro train to reach

IAM Gurgaon Campus. They

wanted to prove that being

fashionable is not a crime but

their right. It is the perception of

public that needs to change.

Delhi NCR has been very rude

to women and sense of insecurity after the ‘gang rape’

incident has raised questions on women security. The

students of Institute of Apparel Management took out a

Fashion Parade from Kashmiri Gate to Huda City

Centre, Gurgaon where the college is situated. “It was

a great experience, people noticed us. The slogans like

“Women empower you don’t destroy your power”,

“Don’t tell me how to dress, tell your sons not to rape”

were put up by us which were read and understood by

the public around. Our focus was on ‘Women Security’.

and we proved that being fashionable is not a bad

thing.”

Students for the cause

Two students of IAM, Itee Bansal from Apparel Production Management (APM) and Sukanya

Jagga from Apparel Marketing and Merchandising (AMM) got opportunity to pursue their

final project at Valaya Luxury Holding Pvt. Ltd., Gurgaon. “The learning was exhaustive”

quoted Itee Bansal who handled a couple of Trunk Shows at Ludhiana and Delhi. The shows

displayed the Spring summer collection for the current year. Itee also got the opportunity to

work on the production follow up for Women’s wear, Men’s wear and Couture. Itee added

“IAM made me learn nuances of fashion industry and guided real life experience and

exposure.” Sukanya Jagga who is working with Valaya Luxury Holding Pvt. Ltd., Gurgaon has

assisted five Trunk Shows, Production department, follow up on job cards, and the working on

the upcoming Couture Week in July 2013, she adds the overall exposure of working at

Valaya Luxury Holding Pvt. Ltd., Gurgaon was awesome.” The Valaya Luxury Holding Pvt. Ltd.,

is a super luxury brand and encompasses Couture and High Prêt segment and is a
