A Loud Shout to Young Design Aficionados
NIFT is pleased to announce an International Students Design Competition for the forthcoming Bharat Tex 2025, on the theme: Sustainable Future: Innovation with Indigenous Knowledge.
This competition aims to engage young minds to explore, experiment and apply the principles of sustainable design, drawing inspiration from indigenous elements.
Against the modern global backdrop, the landscape is constantly shifting due to impressions of human intelligence on transient lifestyles, technology potential, and anthropogenic impacts on Earth. Design, as a conduit of societal change, can stimulate contemporary articulations on diverse dialectical positionings. What does the future entail? Can Design balance indigenous perspectives, experiential aspects of technology along with sustainable practices? Constant rediscoveries lead to renewed manoeuvres, tactics and transformations in Design. National Institute of Fashion Technology announces the ‘Call for Entries’ for International Student Design Competition 2025.
THE TRACK
The theme of the competition ‘Sustainable Future: Innovation with Indigenous Knowledge’ aims to engage young minds to explore, experiment and apply the principles of sustainable design, drawing inspiration from indigenous elements including materials, techniques and cultures. In alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Design Goals, the competition encourages innovation that revives traditional wisdom for a greener future. The award winning entries shall be in a static showcase during Bharat Tex 2025 organized by the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, from 14th to 17th February 2025 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, India.
