This year, we celebrated the event ‘AGOMONI 2025’, a fashion show for the prePuja collection from the students of the Fashion Design Department, which took
place on the 18th of September, 2025, from 2 PM onwards, on campus. The

were carefully and thoughtfully made to reflect a national trend, but within the

mustard yellow and peach—work together well to marry traditional appeal
with a western feeling.

or unique patterns… as our inspiration is the faces and attitudes of women
everywhere…. In our collection, we are working with anti-fit silhouettes and
focusing on ornamentations (hand-stitched), thus you can see abstract faces,
eyes, and noses all ornamented on fabric with line art. Many humorous
components have been employed to create a 3D look.
