Ludhiana, October 31

The Inter National Institute of Fashion Design (INIFD), the premium design institute of Ludhiana, celebrated Halloween with a theme-based party on its campus on Wednesday.

A typical event of the western countries, Halloween is like a festival to honour and remember the dead. It is celebrated with much fanfare by youth wherein they dress up as ghosts, witches, spirits, pirates and other ghost-like characters, and roam around their neighbourhood asking for ‘treats’ such as cakes, candies and other food items. They also perform light tricks to create a spooky environment. INIFD, Ludhiana, is known for celebrating such event s on its campus to provide exposure of various festivities to young students and also to create an environment of learning in a fun-oriented manner.

The evening began when a number of students dressed up in stark and bold silhouettes and colours walked into the campus, inspired by various themes that they had been divided into beforehand. The various themes included Monster Mash, Death Mystery, Bloody Mary, Shades of Blick, Vampire Diaries, Scary Creatures, Gothic and Black and White. The lawns were decorated with conventional pumpkin cut-outs and lanterns, creating a spooky and scary environment that the festival is associated with.

A number of food stalls added flavour and enthusiasm to the venue, where one could hear groups of students talking about ghost events and other fictional stories, adding a little drama to the otherwise fun-filled evening. Students also danced to the tunes of various numbers associated with horror movies and other scary themes.

“Such events give us a chance to enjoy an international festival in our own city in a safe and controlled setting, while also giving us an opportunity to learn theme-based designing, for both fashion as well as interior design courses,” said Akashpreet, a student.

The evening ended with a prize distribution ceremony where the Best Dressed Class was awarded by Additional Director Amardeep Lall on the basis of the themes given to them before the event.
