VIKRAM PHADNIS

(Celebrity Fashion Designer)

 "Fashion is all about celebrating trends and standing out from the rest. So many years of experience have taken me through various creative stages of fashion technology. I am more than happy to be a part of such an amazing experience of teaching to the young designers and be a part of their career. Indian Design League has been a great platform for young aspiring Fashion and Interior Designers to come together and enjoy the teaching learning process from industry experts and celebrity designers. Sharing my experiences, my inspirations, the way I develop creations from the abstracts has been a great experience."

KEN FERNS

(Celebrity Fashion Designer & Stylist)

"Designing and styling has been a part of my life from a very early age and has been a great support and encouragement for my work. Fashion is about knowing what you like and then designing the best out of your understanding. I have been a part of many shows, fashion shows, events where we had to focus on what the character is about and how the story revolves and then design accordingly. Designing is all about knowing the back story. Before starting off anything first know your own wardrobe and body shape and see what you like. It has been such a great opportunity to share all my experiences with the students and make them ready for the industry out there. I get extremely happy when I get to connect with such aspiring Designers, and be a small part of their careers and I thank Indian Design League for that. Cheers to the Webinars, live sessions, online Internship for the students."

ABHYANGH KUVALEKAR

The students should understand how virtual reality will add up to their experiences and I am glad that I got to address them for the same."

"There is a Fitness Revolution, we are moving towards a world which is fit, stylish, and confident... 

Being a fashion model I understand the peer and mental pressure to stay fit and healthy, the youth goes through the same these days. IDL was an opportunity for me to connect with the Creative Minds and enlighten them on health, fitness and style- the 3 elements of confidence.
It was such a great opportunity to address the youngsters about keeping up with the busy schedule with a fitness regime. I conducted a webinar  named #You, which basically was an interactive session on self-care, self-esteem, and the things required for it like fitness, health, sense of style, and likewise. It's been one of a kind thing to connect with young and aspiring designers and share with them some personal and professional experiences."
