STUDENT’s SPOTLIGHT: Designing for the STAGE

We at the Whistling Woods Neeta Lulla School of Fashion, pride in providing hands-on exposure to our designing students. On December 6, the Acting Department at Whistling Woods staged a play “Kauwa Chala Hans Ki Chaal’, for which our fashion students designed the entire costumes.

The play, an adaptation of the 'The Bourgeois Gentleman', was guided and directed by Feroz Zahid Khan, faculty of Acting Department at the institution.

The costumes were made vibrant and colorful, to match the subtle backdrop of the stage. The style was contemporary with a vintage touch, with balloon sleeved shirts and boots just to add a flavor of the original play.

The budding designers and stylists of our fashion school 

had a gala time dressing up the cast. Rashmi Thakur, one of our fashion pupil, was all gaga about the experience.Bottom of Form

“The styling experience was just awesome. We got to learn that styling for play is different that styling models on the ramp. 

                                                  While short-listing the garments for each character we had to 

keep in mind that it should be comfortable as well, since the actors have to stay on stage for an hour and it could get tiring. 

Besides all this, we also needed to focus on the color co-ordination to ensure it matched the theme of the sets and all characters were in sync. I definitely enjoyed styling the actors and look forward to being involved in more such plays in future”
