Dazzling Show by TAR College Students

Some 20 TAR College Fashion Design students showcased an array of dazzling and exquisite designs at the TAR College Fashion Show 2007 on April 19.

The students undergoing the Diploma in Fashion Design – a programme offered by the School of Social Science and Humanities (SSH), showcased their designing skills and creativity with stunning and glittering designs in three themes, namely casual wear, evening wear and avant-garde.

Models graced the catwalk with 60 pieces of eye-catching creations by the students, attracting admiring glances from the enthusiastic audience.

Themed Passion for Fashion, the glitzy fashion show was organised in conjunction with the Adsion (Advertising and Fashion) Shows 2007 by the SSH.

Principal Ms Yoong Lai Thye said while the designs were final year projects of the students, the fashion show served as a platform for the students to professionally exhibit their creations.

“This vibrant event is part of the course requirement which allows our students to apply the knowledge and skills they have learned in their studies here,” she said when opening the fashion show.

She said courses offered by TAR College combine creative, practical and intellectual approaches to provide its graduates with the extra edge to excel in the local and international industry.

“In line with our mission to provide wholesome education, we encourage our students to organise and participate actively in events that would be beneficial to their studies. This fashion show will help them to hone their skills in event management, teamwork, communi- cation and other soft skills,” she said.

Yoong said although the Fashion Design course is relatively new, the College is proud of the students’ achievements as they have shown great potential.

“Last year, they won the First Runner-up in the Levi’s Jeans Design Competition. In the Piala Endon Batik Design Competition, our young talents advanced until the semi-finals,” she said.

Yoong also expressed her confidence that the fashion show would stimulate creativity, act as a platform for discovering talents as well as provide students “first hand experience and a taste of the glamorous fashion industry”.
