April at JD School of Design is a month that seems like one of movement, where ideas get explored, skills get sharpened, and milestones get celebrated. April is a month that unites learning, looking into the future and making memories that actually matter. Learning To Observe, Not Just Snap Pictures On April 16th, Canon organised a photography workshop that encouraged students to see the bigger picture. Mr Mohan Dass Mathew and Mr Siltu Ghosh delivered a session that encouraged all participants to think outside the box. Although the session involved learning about the basic technical details of photography, it included an element of thinking in terms of light and other aspects required to make a narrative out of the photographs taken. Perhaps what was most notable about this session was its approach – rather than snap pictures, the idea was to communicate using photography. Where Fashion Meets Future “The Role of Fashion Design in the Age of AI,” by Divya Gulati, was refreshing because it brought a futuristic approach to the classroom setting. The discussion led to debates about the role of technology as an enabler of innovation and not as an obstructionist element. Divya Gulati made the ideas about virtual styling, wardrobe optimisation, and how AI can assist in building a better future with fashion design very clear. It was not a conventional lecture but rather an image of the future that the students got from this talk. The students realised that their career path in the future would take a variety of turns. Purposeful Creation: The Weaving Workshop The Danish Cord-initiated Hands-On Weaving Workshop brought in a whole new rhythm in the month, one that was more thoughtful, contemplative, and immersive. Under the tutelage of Mr Govind SG, the students worked with Danish cords made of bamboo pulp and engaged themselves in a practice requiring them to be very meticulous, focused, and diligent. It was not just a workshop; it was a reconnection with the philosophy of design, where the process is as important as the product, and traditional crafts continue to have relevance in contemporary design. Moment of Pride – Celebrating Greatness! This month has seen yet another cause for celebration and inspiration at the JD School of Design. One of the best achievements that was witnessed during the Bengaluru City University Rank Felicitation was none other than Deepthi Sri, who was first in her class. She serves as a source of inspiration for everyone. From her initial days of setting up her base to excelling in her class, her life is a remarkable example for all students to follow. Learning and Beyond Many things were unique about April at the JD School of Design, and one of them was the way in which students were taught. It could be through the viewfinder of a camera, or via a computer interface, or even on the loom. Somewhere along the way, learning turned into discovering, and discovering turned into growing.

Across disciplines, students stepped beyond conventional boundaries to explore design as a powerful medium of expression, storytelling, and transformation. The month began on a high note as our design students brought the Cruise Carnival stage to life with a spectacular fashion showcase. Through bold costumes, playful concepts, and imaginative designs, the runway transformed into a visual celebration of color, movement, and festive energy—capturing the true spirit of carnival. Expanding their learning beyond garments, our BSc First Year Fashion Design students visited The Good Life Store in Fontainhas. In an engaging session with founder Anjana Sharma, students gained valuable insights into retail strategy, sustainability, and conscious curation. The experience highlighted how thoughtfully designed retail spaces can communicate powerful narratives and elevate brand identity. Innovation met functionality as students explored bathroom and sanitation design, reimagining everyday spaces through the lens of elegance and smart living. This exercise emphasized how design can enhance quality of life by seamlessly blending aesthetics with practicality. Under the theme “Designing Experiences: Spaces That Speak,” our BSc Interior Design students translated theoretical concepts into immersive spatial environments. Their projects showcased the harmony between art and interiors, where each design told a unique story. From conceptual installations to expressive spatial forms, students demonstrated how ideas evolve into meaningful, lived experiences. Creativity in craftsmanship took center stage with Threads and Textures, where Diploma in Fashion Design students explored fabric manipulation and ornamentation. Through intricate embroidery techniques and innovative fabric explorations, they transformed simple materials into detailed, expressive works of art—reflecting patience, precision, and creativity. March also marked the much-anticipated Young Designers Festival 2026, a dynamic three-day celebration of creativity and collaboration. The festival brought together exhibitions, expert talks, presentations, heritage walks, and architectural explorations across Panjim—creating an inspiring platform where ideas flourished and learning extended beyond classrooms. We are proud to celebrate our students’ achievements at Converge 3.0, where Interior Design students were recognized as Young Entrepreneurs 2026. A proud moment was the interaction between the Honorable Chief Minister of Goa, Dr. Pramod Sawant, and our student Kabir Rastogi, who ներկայացed an innovative virtual reality model. The project—a thoughtfully designed 2BHK apartment for an artist—embraced a client-centered approach, blending Wabi-Sabi, Biophilic, and Bohemian design philosophies. The resulting space was envisioned as earthy, natural, and serene, where textures, materials, and organic forms come together to create harmony and authenticity. As we conclude March, the journey reflects a commitment to designing beyond boundaries—where creativity meets purpose, and ideas evolve into impactful experiences. At JD School of Design, every project is a step toward shaping future-ready designers and innovators.

All these experiences embody the essence of design education, which is not only about the theory but also about the exploration, testing, and execution of ideas. Mysore Fashion Week – “Heritage 2.0” & “Raasika” JD School of Design took the stage as the Education Partner at the Mysore Fashion Week with its experimental collection “Heritage 2.0” from 13th to 15th March. The collection was about conceptualising the future of Karnataka, where heritage fabrics were not relegated to the past but reinvented in new forms. Fabrics such as Mysore Silk, Ilkal, Patteda Anchu, Molakalmuru, Udupi Cotton, and Guledgudda Khana were reinvented with sculptural silhouettes, metallic components, and architectural layering. “Raasika,” designed by student designer Sanjana R, is a collection of Ragamala paintings. It is an amalgamation of influences from miniature paintings of Rajasthan and fabric styles of Karnataka, where fashion is an expression of art and culture. Annual Sports Meet 2026 – Beyond the Classroom The Annual Sports Meet 2026 was a welcome relief from the usual routine and provided students with an opportunity to take a break from their studies and indulge in activities that promoted a sense of teamwork and energy. The indoor and outdoor sports event provided students with an opportunity to participate in healthy competition and cooperation. From strategy-based indoor games to fun-filled outdoor sports organised in St John’s Ground, there was a palpable sense of enthusiasm, cooperation, and joy, which added to the sense of community. “An Ode to Women” – Couture Showcase The couture event organised in association with “An Ode to Women” in Mysore was a celebration of strength, elegance, and individuality. The Royal Heritage & Timeless Drapes segment was a celebration of Indian textiles and saree draping, while Cocktail Collective brought in a sense of modernity and sophistication. Led by project heads Ms. Suma and Ms. Nitika Sharma, the showcase gave students an opportunity to work on a live creative brief, encouraging hands-on learning and collaboration. Whitefield Art Collective 2026 – “The Endless Merge” At the Whitefield Art Collective, which took place in VR Mall, interior design students created and showcased their conceptual design piece, titled “The Endless Merge,” which focused on the association between humanity, nature, and technology. The design piece created a visual representation of a world in which these elements merged and came together in an endless and interconnected manner. Design Talk Series III – “Design Beyond Classroom” The Design Talk Series III event was centred around the theme of “Design Beyond Classroom”, in which industry knowledge and insights were shared with students. Uttam Sharma and Karthik Prasad M, the speakers, shared their knowledge and understanding of the global creative industry, which helped bridge the gap between what students learn and what actually occurs in the real world. Jewellery Design Students Set Up Visual Merchandising Display Students from the B.Sc. Jewellery Design programme explored the art of presentation through a visual merchandising display. The focus was on creating engaging displays that not only highlight jewellery pieces but also connect customers. Through this, students gained practical understanding of layout, lighting, and customer psychology—learning how design influences experience and decision-making. Academic Displays – Learning in Progress The campus also featured academic displays which reflected the learning progress of the students. Module End Display by MBA Batch: Exhibition and Event Planning. MBA Fashion Business & Event Management students presented their module-end work for exhibition and event planning. An exhibition was held to display the understanding of the basics of spatial design, which included the elements and principles of design, the role of color, and the importance of storytelling in spatial environments. Students learned about exhibition design with reference to its history, its different layouts, and the various types of events. It included the application of graphic communication and display techniques in temporary, flexible, and permanent spaces. It also included the application of technical skills, which included the selection of materials, lighting, safety, vendors, and cost. B.Des Fashion Design 2025 batch display on Fundamentals of Design and Material Exploration. In the case of the B. Des Fashion Design 2025 batch, the creative and storytelling approach can be identified in their Bridgerton-themed display for the Fundamentals of Design and Material Exploration. The students were inspired by the unique look of the show, which features a lot of romance, beautiful colors, intricate designs, and a mix of vintage looks. The students were given a chance to work with different materials while at the same time being aware of the fundamentals of design, such as balance, contrast, and harmony.  It is not only the display of the theme, but it is also the way the students can link the storytelling with the material exploration, which is the essence of the display. Karnataka Icon Awards 2026 – A Moment of Recognition JD School of Design, Bengaluru, received the award for Excellence in Design Education and Innovation under the Karnataka Icon Awards 2026. This is a recognition of the efforts put into the growth and development of creativity, innovation, and impactful learning experiences for the young and aspiring design students.

The month unfolded like a live studio, extending from exhibition halls to factory floors, from marble warehouses to construction sites. It was a month where ideas met industry, and students stepped confidently into professional spaces long before graduation. Global Textiles, Real Conversations Fabrics & Accessories Trade Show & Apparel Sourcing Fair 2026 The Trade Centre KTPO, Whitefield, became a global meeting ground for the textile and apparel ecosystem during the Fabrics & Accessories Trade Show & Apparel Sourcing Fair (ASF) 2026. As Official Academic Collaborators, JD School of Design ensured that students were not just passive observers but were able to engage with sourcing heads, manufacturers, and innovators to know how trends were forecasted, how negotiations were done, and how the world actually works. Some of the defining highlights were when students presented their own installation, “SECOND LIFE”, made from waste fabrics that were given a new life as a narrative, highlighting sustainability not as a trend but as a necessity. From Idea to Impact Design Talk Series – II: From Classroom to Campaign On February 26, Block B was turned into a strategic thinking lab as Muralidhar Hegde, CEO of Smartworks, addressed students as a part of the Design Talk Series – II. Through real campaign case studies and agency workflows, he decoded: The session focused on the evolution of briefs into concepts. How strategy supports creativity. How structured pipelines shape execution. What the industry truly expects from emerging designers. The session felt less like a lecture and more like a behind-the-scenes access pass to the professional world of branding and communication. Design Rooted in Culture Jaipur Display – Jewellery Design For the Jewellery Design cohorts, February culminated in the Jaipur Display — a showcase inspired by experiential learning journeys. The display captured the spirit of heritage craftsmanship, architectural influences, and material storytelling. Students translated observation into ornament, turning research into refined design pieces that balanced tradition with contemporary interpretation. Understanding Materials Beyond the Catalogue Gala Marble Store Visit The interior design students from the DID October 2025 batch entered the world of materials with a visit to Gala Marble Store. The materials range from marble and quartzite to lava stone murals and upholstery systems. The students learned from materials beyond theory. Instead of studying materials on paper, they learned from experience, including considerations such as sourcing, cost, and functionality. Engineering Space Intelligently Invisible Bed Factory Workshop The BSc IDD 23 batch explored the mechanics of multifunctional furniture during their workshop visit to Invisible Bed. Here, space-saving design was not theoretical — it was mechanical, precise, and purposeful. Students observed: Transformable furniture systems. Hardware mechanisms. Production workflows. The integration of engineering with aesthetics. The experience concluded with workshop certificates, marking both participation and professional growth. Technology Meets Interior Environments Indux Plus @ Bengaluru International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) On two highly immersive days, interior design students were given an opportunity to explore Indux Plus. Day one of the visit was dedicated to vertical mobility solutions, lifts, elevator interiors, and automated parking. This gave the interior design students an insight into how technology effortlessly merges with built environments. Day two of the visit was dedicated to furniture systems, sustainable lighting, upholstery details, and heritage pieces crafted by skilled artisans. Multiple batches participated, reinforcing cross-level exposure and shared learning. The Business Behind the Build Live Construction Site Visit For MSc Interior Design 2024 (A & B) and PGDID 2024 students, February also meant stepping into an active construction site. This visit emphasised the business dimension of design — coordination with contractors, BOQ interpretation, vendor management, execution timelines, and cost monitoring. The students witnessed how drawings transform into structures, how responsibility goes beyond creativity to management, and how decisions are made. It was designed in motion, structured, collaborative, and accountable. Beyond the Classroom, Into the Industry February 2026, at JD School of Design, was marked by movement – movement between disciplines, spaces, and viewpoints. From textiles to advertising strategies, from craftsmanship in jewellery making to intelligent systems of mobility, from marble slabs to construction sites – all experiences underscored one thing: Design education needs to be experienced to be understood. At JD School of Design, exposure is not an afterthought. It is an integral part of the learning process, designed to ensure students are not only entering the industry but are able to navigate it with clarity, confidence, and creative responsibility.

From immersive experiences in fashion to national recognition, the month was a celebration of creativity in action and ideas brought to life. The iconic walk with Lulu–Face of Lulu 2025: Where learning met the runway. December opened its doors to glamour, grit, and real-life exposure with The Iconic Walk with Lulu – Face of Lulu 2025. Because more than a fashion show, it turned out to be one big living classroom for the students of JD School of Design. From the pulse of backstage management as crew members to confidently owning the runway as participants, students got to experience firsthand the nuances of the fashion industry. A hands-on approach bridges the gap between theory and practice, an approach central to JD’s educational philosophy. Adding to the spectacle was the presence of JD alumni designers who made a comeback to the runway, this time as established professionals, showcasing their collections with pride. A testimony to growth, continuity, and creative evolution was the sight of alumni thriving in the industry while current students trained within the same ecosystem. It was a beautiful blend of confidence, collaboration, and creativity, further reinforcing the commitment of JD School of Design to learning that goes beyond the four walls of the classroom. “Nobody wants to leave home, yet everybody wants to go home. Redefining Design Education: JD School of Design Recognised for “Institute of the Year 2025” This December brought along an historic feat by JD School of Design.

The students were offered an inspiring blend of learning, practice, and real-world exposure during the month, which also witnessed end-of-module showcases, skill-enhancing workshops, and spirited sporting events. Inter-Collegiate Swimming Competition – Bengaluru City University JD School of Design, in partnership with Bengaluru City University, organised the Inter-Collegiate Swimming Competition on Thursday, 6th November 2025. The event was a full-day affair, and athletes from various city colleges came together in a competitive yet vibrant and friendly environment. Students were looking forward to this annual sports meet with great enthusiasm, and the forthcoming contest is just the occasion to witness the diligent, skilfuland spirited participation of the contenders in various swimming styles and distances. BDes (FD 2025) – Module End Display On Tuesday, November 11, 2025, the BDes (Fashion Design) 2025 batch had their first Module End Display—a significant academic milestone on their design journey. The exhibition was a result of their participation in the modules Fundamentals of Design 1, Visualisation and Representation, and various workshop-based explorations. For students, it was an event that introduced them to the concept of turning the basics into visually attractive and real work. The display was a reflection of their initial design sensibilities, their budding confidence, and their deepening understanding of form, structure, and creative interpretation, making it an occasion that the students and faculty could rejoice together. BSc IDD 2024 – Space Design Display The month’s highlight that grabbed the most attention was the Space Design Display by the B.Sc. IDD 2024 batch. The exhibition was a feast for the eyes with the students’ profound knowledge in spatial planning and design development. The visitors were engaged in a deep and rich narrative of design evolution through well-prepared, manually drafted sheets, digital layouts, and detailed miniature models that explained how a space moves from an idea to a fully conceptualised environment. During the module, students had to follow the complete design workflow, and they did so by indulging in road mapping, activity mapping, site analysis, literature reviews, and case studies. These research-driven pathways enabled them to develop cohesive spatial strategies, which they represented through bubble diagrams, zoning methods, and visual planning tools. Their work further got refined into detailed floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, and sectional drawings, showing both their technical skills and creative clarity. Industry​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Interaction: Placement Drive by Metro Brands Ltd November was a month full of industry interactions as well; Metro Brands Ltd. Placement Drive was held at the JD School of Design. The event turned out to be a golden opportunity for the students to meet industry experts and learn about the recruitment process from the people themselves. They also got a first-hand experience of the world of fashion retail as a prospective career path. Metro Brands Ltd. is the one that has led the way for the Indian footwear and accessories market to grow into a chain of more than a hundred stores across the country, out of just one store that was started in 1955. The company is the creator of popular brands like Metro, Mochi, Walkway, and Da Vinchi, and, as it is dedicated to the customer’s ease through innovation, quality, and a well-planned omnichannel strategy, it is still the industry leader. Their collaboration with JD School of Design enables the students to have a better understanding of the industry and get ready for the challenges of the real world. Adobe Learning Sessions – Advancing Digital Creativity in view the evolution of design and technology, JD School of Design organised a series of Adobe Learning Sessions with the participation of an Adobe Executive, Mr Ujjual. His extensive and profound knowledge served as a great factor for students and faculty to elevate their level through the workshops. On 21st November 2025, students were involved in a three-hour hands-on session where they dived into Adobe Express, Firefly, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Lightroom. They were also informed about AI-powered design tools as a use for creative expression, and in such cases, the workflow is more straightforward. On 19th November 2025, faculty members and staff had the chance to participate in an exclusive 4-hour workshop aimed at demonstrating how educators could utilise AI-driven tools by Adobe to enhance not only their academic activities but also the administrative ones. JD School of Design in November was a busy hive of academic progress, professional exposure, creative exploration, and student achievement. All events, without exception, contributed to the development of a learning environment that is dynamic, where innovation is solicited, and growth is continuous. While we continue to empower the designers of tomorrow, these months stand as a testament to the vibrant and uplifting environment that nurtures their ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌journey.

For us at JD School of Design, it’s also about expression — the fierce, unbridled kind that manifests in performances, feelings, and collective moments of happiness. That essence was brought to life at Jediiians Got Talent 2025, our eagerly anticipated cultural fest, where the students interpreted “bold” in all its forms of creativity. Hosted at Prabhath Kala Sambrama, the festival was a confluence of energy, diversity, and interdisciplinary excellence. The crowd saw a stirring fusion of art, music, dance, and martial arts — performances that spoke not merely as acts but as statements. Be it a traditional solo or a state-of-the-art contemporary number, every performance bore with it the spirit of the JD Way— based on originality and unapologetic expression. In his speech, JD Educational Trust Managing Trustee and JD School of Design Founder Mr Nealesh Dalal touched on the greater significance of the evening by saying, “Though we always felt this truth, students getting the opportunity to live up to it through shows like this is our constant reminder.” His statement reflected the sentiment in the room — that such events are not just entertainment but serve as platforms for students to discover and express their identities beyond the syllabus. Amidst spirited performances and loud applause, there was a glimpse of subdued pride when the institute celebrated its academic rank holders—students who excelled in the Bengaluru City University results from both the Fashion and Interior Design streams. Tisha N. Jain, of the B.Sc. Interior Design and Decoration (IDD) 2021 batch, was awarded the 1st Rank— a special achievement. In the B.Sc. Fashion and Apparel Design (FAD) 2021 stream, Prerana S V secured the 4th Rank, Prerana Jain the 5th Rank, K K Manasa held the 5th position, Deepthi Lunia was the 8th, Rishika P was the 9th, and D Sanjana was in the 10th rank. They are a testament to the balance we promote at the JD School of Design—where intellectual rigour is paired with creative growth and where excellence is not a solo pursuit but sought out simultaneously along multiple fronts. Their achievement was not an individual one but a communal one—fueled by the cohort of peers, coaches, and educators that pushed them forward every step of the way. As Jediiians Got Talent 2025 concluded, it left us with more than memories. It showed us the future that we are creating — one where designers are not only doers and thinkers but cultural contributors, highly attuned to their passions and poised to shape the world through voice, vision, and values. At JD School of Design, we remain committed to our vision: to raise the next generation of bold innovators. This event was another powerful step along the way.
