The Department of Fashion Design & Technology (FDT) at the BGMEA University of Fashion & Technology (BUFT) recently hosted a fashion presentation titled "231 Collectives".

The key objective of 231 Collectives was to bridge the gap between academic fashion education and practical industry execution, enabling students to apply their theoretical learning in a professional and globally competitive setting. Beyond design and garment making, the students themselves managed the entire event—from planning, backstage coordination, and model management to visual presentation and show curation—proving their leadership and event-management proficiency.
The showcased collections were developed under two significant academic courses: Draping 2, conducted by Summiya Sultana, Assistant Professor, BUFT, and Advanced Menswear Pattern, conducted by Md Ariful Islam, Assistant Professor and Head of Department (FDT), BUFT.
These courses enabled students to integrate hands-on techniques, structural understanding, and advanced design development into real fashion outcomes. The garments displayed on the runway stood out for their creative narratives, technical mastery, and alignment with international fashion standards.
The event was graced by two distinguished guests: Faruque Hassan, Chairman, Board of Trustees, BUFT, and Prof. Dr Engr Ayub Nabi Khan, Pro-Vice Chancellor and Acting Vice Chancellor, BUFT. Both guests praised the students' professionalism, innovation, and ability to merge academic knowledge with industry relevance. They emphasised that initiatives like the 231 Collectives reflect the evolving quality of fashion education in Bangladesh, preparing young designers to make meaningful contributions to both local and global fashion industries.
The success of 231 Collectives highlights BUFT's dedication to shaping future leaders of the fashion world through experiential learning, creativity, and technical excellence. This initiative demonstrates how Bangladesh's next generation of fashion designers is ready to represent the country on international platforms with confidence and creativity.
