Namuna College of Fashion Technology (NCFT) recently conducted the pre-judgment session for its highly anticipated 19th Graduation Fashion Show, “Anukalpit Prabhanam.” A total of 88 graduating designers showcased previews of their creative fashion collections, which will be presented in the grand finale on March 28, 2025, at The Plaza, Jhamsikhel, Lalitpur.
The pre-judgment session, held on the college premises, served as a critical evaluation phase where students explained their inspirations, creative processes, and execution techniques to a panel of esteemed judges. This session provided the students an opportunity to present their work, receive constructive feedback, and refine their designs before the final showcase. The collections displayed a fusion of traditional craftsmanship, modern aesthetics, and innovative concepts, reflecting the students’ talent and dedication to fashion design.
The 88 aspiring designers explored their creativity under nine distinct themes, forming eight unique collections. Each collection represented a different artistic vision, ranging from cultural heritage to futuristic fashion narratives. The themes included Divyakanta, Mimamsa, Himalayan Euphony, Samsara, Nepalese Nirvana, Prarambhantika, Hiraeth of Weaves, Suramya Pahiran, and Lush Legacy. Through detailed PowerPoint presentations (PPTs), the students explained their concept development, material choices, garment construction techniques, and the design evolution process.
A panel of distinguished judges assessed the students’ presentations. The jury included Kiran Prakash Saakha, Chairman of Saakha Group; fashion designer Anu Shrestha; and fashion educators Kushma Shrestha and Rajendra Singh. The event was conducted in the presence of NCFT’s Founder Principal, Mrs. Gyani Shova Tuladhar, and Vice-Principal, Mr. Jeebeswor Lal Shrestha. The judges provided valuable insights and critiques, helping the students fine-tune their designs ahead of the final event.
According to the college management, the grades awarded in this Pre-Judgment Program will contribute to the final scores given by the panel of judges during the actual Graduation Fashion Show. These combined scores will be published by Purbanchal University under the subject Fashion Show, which is a part of the End Semester Board Examinations for the Bachelor of Fashion Design and Management (BFDM) program. This structured grading system ensures a fair evaluation based on both the creative process and the final presentation.
