Fashion shows a big hit in Manipur
Imphal: Insurgency
and violence have not suppressed the positive and creative
facets in the lives of Manipur citizens. Recently, a fashion
show was held by the Blue Ocean Fashion Academy in Imphal,
demonstrating the keenness of the people to lead a normal
life and enjoy the fruits of peace. Providing a platform to
showcase talent in the field of dress designing and modelling,
Blue Ocean, one of the leading fashion designing institutes
of Manipur, recently conducted a traditional-cum-handloom
fashion show. "Fashionable trends are not just about the trouser,
pants, jeans, jackets and coats, but include tradition too.
So, at this show, we just want to show that traditional dresses,
handloom fabrics, designer weaves are also the base of the
fashion industry," said Birjit, Head of Department, Blue Ocean
Academy. Twenty-three young aspiring models and designers
participated in it displaying ethnic handloom products especially
dresses, all designed by them. "I came as a student, partially
because it is my hobby. But, gradually I feel that it could
become my profession too," said Anita Devi, a student and
model. H. David Sharma, another student and model added, "After
modeling, we can even act in Manipuri movies." The Academy
has been engaged in training youngsters in fashion designing.
No wonder the number of models and fashion designers in the
Fashion shows being held in metros has gone up drastically
in recent years.
