Heriot-Watt Dubai Campus’ Fashion Programme students have featured at a unique event during Vogue Fashion Dubai Experience 2015 at Dubai Mall.
To be present at this year’s Vogue Fashion Dubai Experience is a great experience for our students.
The weekend featured a range of events and the Dubai Campus Fashion Design programme partnered with Doha-based avant-garde salon Kozma & Kozma to respond to a request for a unique, elegant evening gown to be showcased at a Candylicious sponsored venue in the Mall.
The partners sponsored and inspired the students to deliver a design which captured elegance and a sense of fun. The Fashion Programme students worked in two groups and the final dress combined both design concepts. The winning design was then produced in-house at the University, along with accompanying accessories.
With Kozma & Kozma designing the hair and make-up and a supply of Candylicious treats, the Mall audience was wowed, said Vanessa Northway, Academic Head, School of Textiles and Design.
“This is the third edition of Vogue Fashion Dubai Experience and reiterates that Dubai is now at the centre of fashion in the Middle East. To be present at this year’s Vogue Fashion Dubai Experience is a great experience for our students but it is an even greater source of pride to have a Heriot-Watt University Dubai Campus Fashion Programme design showcased. A special thanks has to go to the students and to Dilip Mothiram, who made the winning design on behalf of the students.”
