The Singer Fashion Awards 2019, recognising the efforts of fashion diploma students pursuing the course from the Singer Fashion Academy was held recently at the Sirimavo Bandaranaike Memorial Exhibition Centre, BMICH. The event showcased 60 creations from 49 students who were selected to display their work on the ramp.
The figure was narrowed down from an initial selection of a total of 150 designs. The highlight of the fashion show this year was that a wider audience was able to witness the event unfold where earlier shows and awards ceremonies were only conducted and limited to the students, their families, friends and Singer staff.
This year, the show attracted industry professionals, public figures and many other well known names along with the public.
The fashion show was held concurrently with the awards ceremony where the students competed under the categories of Kiddies Wear, Gents Wear, Kandyan Wear, Casual Wear, Office Wear, Indian Wear and Evening Wear.
