Axis Colleges recently organized an exciting Paper Draping Activity, “Fun with Fashion,” for its Diploma in Fashion and Textile students.
From bold shapes to intricate folds, students explored innovative draping techniques using paper as their canvas.
This hands-on activity not only honed their draping skills but also encouraged teamwork, problem-solving, and creative design exploration among peers.
It provided a fantastic opportunity for students to think outside the box and express their creativity.
We are proud of their enthusiasm and fresh perspectives, and we look forward to many more innovative creations in the future!
Axis Colleges Hosts “Fun with Fashion” – A Creative Paper Draping Activity for Diploma Students in Fashion & Textile Design
At Axis Colleges, creativity knows no bounds — and the recent “Fun with Fashion” Paper Draping Activity was a perfect testament to that spirit. Organized specifically for students enrolled in the Diploma in Fashion and Textile Design, this hands-on event celebrated imagination, innovation, and the artistry of unconventional materials.
The activity challenged students to create fashion-forward silhouettes using paper as the primary material, pushing them to think beyond fabric and reimagine the fundamentals of draping. From bold, geometric shapes to intricate, flowing folds, the students brought unique concepts to life, transforming simple paper into runway-worthy creations. Each design reflected not only technical skill but also a deep understanding of form, structure, and aesthetic balance.
What made the event truly special was its focus on experimentation and teamwork. Students worked in groups, learning to collaborate, communicate, and solve design challenges together — much like they would in real-world fashion studios. The experience helped them develop not only their draping techniques but also essential soft skills such as creative problem-solving, time management, and team dynamics.
Faculty members from the Fashion and Textile Department applauded the students’ enthusiasm, originality, and the innovative spirit evident in each creation. The classroom turned design studio buzzed with energy as students drew inspiration from nature, architecture, pop culture, and abstract art to craft their looks.
Events like “Fun with Fashion” are integral to Axis Colleges’ mission to offer experiential learning opportunities that encourage students to explore, take risks, and express themselves beyond the traditional curriculum.
We are incredibly proud of our budding designers and their fearless approach to fashion innovation. With this level of talent and creativity, the future of fashion looks bright and bold at Axis Colleges!
