In an exemplary achievement, two students, namely Sakshi Narang and Sapna Chaudhary from Apeejay Stya University, Gurgaon represented India and showcased their creative design collections at a fashion show titled "Indian Fashion through the Ages".

The fashion show was held at Atlanta, US and was a part of the ‘Third USA- India Business Summit (UIBS)’. In partnership with Apeejay Stya University (ASU), the UIBS organized the fashion show along with Georgia College and State University, US.

Showcasing the three eras of fashion trends in India - ancient, medieval and contemporary - with a wide range of 54 garments, these two students astonished the Americans with their talent and startle the crowd with the Indian supremacy in fashion and style.  

The fashion show provided a platform to showcase various fashion genres of India where garments were designed by these ASU students. The ASU entered into a Bilateral Academic Exchange Programme with the Georgia College and State University, in Milledgeville, USA to undertake the collaborative effort. 

"It is a matter of great pride and honour for not only Apeejay Stya University but the educationists all over the world to represent Indian culture and style at the largest business conference in South-East USA", said Mrs. Sushma Berlia, Co-founder and Chancellor, Apeejay Stya University.

Apeejay understands the role of global participation and encourages its students to upgrade themselves as per the international norms while providing them platforms and motivation to stand ahead in the competitive world,” Mrs. Berlia further added.
