Fashion Styling Jediiians Participation in Times Lifestyle Fashion Show

Fashion shows may look like glamorous spectacles from the outside, but the real magic lies behind the scenes—where learning, creativity, and coordination come alive. For the students of the Fashion Styling course of JD Institute of Fashion Technology, the Delhi edition of Times Lifestyle Fashion Week on 2nd May 2025 was more than an event; it was a real-world experience that blended classroom concepts with high-stakes execution.

A Prestigious Platform at Hyatt Regency, Gurgaon

JD Institute proudly facilitated the participation of its students at one of India’s most celebrated fashion events. Held at Hyatt Regency, Gurgaon, this edition of Times Lifestyle Fashion Week formed a part of the renowned Times Fashion Week series that travels across India’s top cities. The show brought together leading designers and vibrant new talents in a celebration of style, creativity, and innovation.

Among the featured designers was Ms. Priyanshi Jain, an accomplished alumna of JD Institute. Known for her detailed string work and ability to merge traditional and modern design sensibilities, she represented both excellence and inspiration for the participating students.

Students in Action: Learning by Doing

Three of our Fashion Styling students—Adhiraj Kaur, Aliza Qureshi, and Neelam Pradhan—were actively involved in the execution of the show. Each of them took on a unique role, contributing to different facets of the event:

• Aliza Qureshi was entrusted with managing guest relations. She also coordinated with the celebrity showstopper, Isha Malviya, a noted contestant from Bigg Boss 17. This responsibility allowed Aliza to refine her interpersonal skills and understand the nuances of celebrity and guest engagement in a high-pressure setting.

• Neelam Pradhan was the backstage powerhouse, ensuring that model line-ups and show preparations went off without a hitch. Her involvement taught her the value of timing, precision, and backstage coordination in making a fashion show flow smoothly.

• Adhiraj Kaur worked closely with Ms. Priyanshi Jain, assisting in fittings and the final runway presentation. This hands-on styling experience brought her face-to-face with the technical and aesthetic demands of live fashion production.

Real-World Lessons Beyond the Classroom

This experience served as more than a behind-the-scenes pass—it was a comprehensive, on-ground learning opportunity. The students not only contributed to a large-scale fashion event but also gained practical insights into styling, communication, and event execution. Working alongside industry professionals and gaining insights from our alumni, Priyanshi Jain, the students received constructive feedback, observed industry standards firsthand, and learned to adapt quickly—skills that no textbook can fully teach.

This exposure reinforced JD Institute’s emphasis on blending theoretical learning with real-world applications.

Crafting Future Professionals, One Show at a Time

Events like these don’t just add weight to a resume—they shape professional identities. For Adhiraj, Aliza, and Neelam, the Times Lifestyle Fashion Week wasn’t just a milestone; it was a stepping stone. It highlighted JD Institute’s commitment to nurturing talent through experience, not just instruction.
