"Designer from Berlin mentors IIAD’s Fashion Design students for a 2-week long module titled ‘The Human Project’.\n\nPiyush Suri, the Creative Director of Handmade in Britain, visited IIAD for a module with students of the Fashion Design programme. He interacted with the Level 5 (Class of 2019) students of Fashion Design over a span of 2 weeks wherein, he honed their skills of self-reflection and articulation of design in words. He also gave them insights on connecting with oneself at an emotional level and weaving design stories while working on a project for better results.\n\nThe final task of the project required the students to challenge the notion of a 'Little Black Dress' and design one for an imaginary personality, all in under 4 days. Each student created the perfect little black dress justifying the theme and depicting the portrayal of the character they chose. The students also put together a stunning display of their designs on Campus during a Fashion Show organized by them under the mentorship of Piyush Suri.\n\nAbout Piyush Suri:\n\nPiyush is an engineer turned design thinker with more than 15 years of experience in the textile industry. He established ‘Handmade in Britain’ in 2007 with an aim to promote and support designer-makers in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
