Mount Carmel wins South Zone prelims of DH Metrolife fashion show

There was excitement, mixed with creativity and fun at the South Zone preliminaries of the Deccan Herald Metrolife Fashion show, season seven, presented by TRENDS.

Mount Carmel College walked away with the top honours for their simple and minimalist collection. The girls showcased white saris with golden detailing, followed by white saris with flower prints, aimed at the modern day ‘Maharani’.

Runners up

The second prize was bagged by T John College that presented a line aimed at bringing out the beauty of Kerala. 

The third prize went to Vogue Institute of Fashion Technology. The grey and black collection reminded one of a slightly dystopian world where drapes and innovative silhouettes combined to create eclectic outfits.

The fourth prize went to Surana College for a line inspired by Sufism. Ornate jewellery blended with elegant white and gold costumes and full skirts and drapes.

The fifth place went to The Oxford College of Science. Huge gowns in pastel coloured fabrics were embellished with enormous flowery designs in white satin while men had quirky cuts and brighter colors.

Judges

The competition was judged by Sushruthi Krishna, first runner up at Miss India 2016, actor and model Vishnuraj S Menon, fashion designer Riya Kodali and Sandalwood actor Sharmiela Mandre.

Keeping the crowd entertained were dance performances by teams from NMKRV College for Women, Jain University and Vogue Institute of Fashion Technology.

The winners of this zone will meet the North Zone Preliminary winners in the grand finale, which will be held on September 2 at Dayanand Sagar Institutions, Kumaraswamy Layout.
