JD Annual Design Awards was hosted by the JD Institute of Fashion Technology showcasing awe-inspiring collections based on the theme Future Origins, where the future of fashion blended with sustainability at The Lalit Ashok, Bengaluru. Models walked the ramp looking stunning in collections like Artitectural Chic (fabrics made from the spirulina algae and spun together with cotton, Aagami (fabric made from discarded cigarette butts), Achromatic Transmutation (parts of the ensemble that can be detached and attached to another piece of clothing).
