Woxsen Fashion Week, La Mode showcases student designs on the runway in Hyderabad

Woxsen University’s School of Art and Design celebrated student fashion on the runway at its fashion week ‘La Mode’ in Hyderabad. Young designers explored the theme of ‘Seven Deadly Sins with a Surprise’ to render human flaws and temptations as wearable garments. 

“I am proud to see our students push the boundaries of creativity and sustainability at Woxsen Fashion Week, La Mode,” said Woxsen University’s School of Art and Design head of department Adity Saxena in a press release. “The use of discarded fabrics and garments to create stunning outfits is a testament to their innovative spirit and commitment to eco-friendly practices. This year’s theme, ‘Seven Deadly Sins with a Surprise,’ not only showcased their technical skills but also sparked important conversations about human flaws and temptations. The future of fashion is indeed in good hands, and I look forward to seeing the incredible things our students will achieve in the years to come.”

Indian actor Marc Robinson attended the event as chief guest and engaged with the student designs. By using discarded textiles and garments, the Woxsen students innovated sustainable ways to reduce waste in the fashion industry. The designs also took the figure of Satan as a symbol of sin and desire and aimed to tell stories about him with clothing. 

“For us, La Mode was a chance to prove that sustainability and style can go hand in hand,” said a fashion design student at the event. “Taking discarded fabrics and turning them into something bold and meaningful was a challenge and seeing our designs on the runway, knowing they carry a message beyond aesthetics, was an incredible feeling.”

Woxsen University is partnered with over 150 global universities and was one of the first private universities to be established in Telangana. With a 200 acre campus, the university offers courses across the fields of Business, Technology, Arts and Design, Architecture, Law, and Liberal Arts and Humanities.
