the world. Out of which about 155 entries were selected to showcase
their garment at the event in New Zealand. Ten Indian students’
designs were among the shortlised entries for the final fashion
show and Jayaraj, the PAF design student made it to the top and
won the ‘WOW Factor’ award. The award included an
all paid trip to New Zealand and a cash award of NS$5000 by Government

Talking about his collection, Jayaraj said “This competition
is a blend of art and fashion. So my inspiration was a weaverbird’s
nest as it’s a perfect example of creativity. I called my
garment – the weaver finch colony. I used coconut fibre
i.e coil and wove it into thin threads and then combined them
with the thin bamboo sticks to weave it like a net. And also used
cotton for lining and banana fibre for accessories”.
