The competition began with 10 cross-disciplinary teams working rigorously over 48 hours to bring their innovative ideas to life. These teams, composed of students from various fields, designed and created garments that reflected not only their creativity but also their awareness of global sustainability challenges. The grand finale showcased these unique creations, demonstrating how fashion can drive positive change.

Their presence highlighted the importance of creativity in addressing global issues and further inspired the participants to continue pushing the boundaries of sustainable fashion.
The competition was mentored by Prof. Sanjay Razora, who provided expert guidance to the participants throughout the event. His insights helped shape the designs into impactful, thoughtful pieces that resonated with the theme of sustainability.
The event concluded with a grand prize distribution, celebrating the hard work and innovation of the participants. The competition not only fostered collaboration among students but also emphasised the need for sustainable practices in the fashion industry.
