The Fashion Frontier

Drawing from the vibrant and diverse world of fashion, this mural encapsulates the core elements of the institute's fashion curriculum. A central theme is the concept of fashion as genderless and inclusive, symbolized by scribbled-out faces to represent the idea that anyone can wear fashion clothing and style.

Located at the entrance of the fashion institute department of the esteemed Hindustan Group of Institutions in Chennai, this exceptionally long wall posed a unique challenge. The goal was to utilize this extensive space effectively to showcase the students' outstanding work while simultaneously conveying the essence of the fashion courses offered by the institute. The mural features a cohesive look with predominantly black art concepts, accentuated by highlights in red, yellow, and green to emphasize key aspects of the courses.

To bring this detailed mural to life, the following steps were meticulously executed:

Design Conceptualization: A comprehensive sketch was created to outline the vision and ensure effective use of space.
Iconography: Fashion elements such as clothes on hangers, shoe prints, jewelry, and needles were meticulously drawn to represent different facets of fashion education.
Color Highlights: Red, yellow, and green were strategically used to highlight specific icons, drawing attention to key aspects of the courses.
Zipper-like Border: The mural's border features a large, zipper-like outline, symbolizing that the entire wall represents a dress, tying together the various elements in a cohesive design.
