The graduating students which comprised of certificate, diploma and degree students mounted the stage to showcase clothing styles they had designed. They exhibited samples of their artistic clothing designs at a well decorated stage by the students to the delight of their audience amidst clapping.
Mr Rajesh Kumar Pillai, Head of Department, Fashion and Design in an interview with the Ghana News Agency at the sidelines of the event said the event was part of the school’s course requirement for the students to showcase a collection of their designs on what they had learnt. Mr Pillai was satisfied with the performance of the students, but there was more improvement, adding that the whole stage, set-up, make-up, back-drop and the music were all designed by the students.
