Shivdass Bawa, 19-years-old won the best designer award, he says, “We showcased denim wear under the theme 'ruff et le tuff'. It is not so in the season, but our fabric was distinctive. It was handmade, double layer, cotton inside and the denim layer was torn here and there. We also innovated on suspenders, which is back in season.”
He says that it took his team 30 to 40 days to create the collection from scratch. His theme emphasised on making denims look rough and tough with red and cool white colours, especially designed for “funky teenagers”.
