LALITPUR – The runway at The Plaza Nepal turned into a living ecosystem last Saturday as Namuna College of Fashion Technology (NCFT) celebrated its 20th Graduation Fashion Show. Titled Vividhāyana Saundaryam (Beauty in Diversity), the event showcased the brilliant work of 62 graduating designers who proved that Nepali fashion is now a powerful voice for nature and conservation.
From the melting glaciers of “NEPALIUM” to the delicate forest blooms of “Vanaspati Kusum,” the show featured six concept-driven collections. A standout moment was the “Red List Reverie,” which used bold textures and striking red accents to tell the story of Nepal’s endangered species like the Snow Leopard and Red Panda.
