MSc in Fashion Design & Management
The “Chosen” collection is designed by Aleena Rose Mathew, student from Diploma in Fashion Design at JD Institute of Fashion Technology, Kochi celebrates an innovative fashion inspired by the journey of Moses, a story filled with struggle, faith, doubt, and transformation. It is an avant garde collection. Moses’ journey is one of resilience, faith, and divine intervention, making it a powerful source of inspiration. From the Ten Plagues of Egypt that shook a mighty empire to the miraculous parting of the Red Sea, his story is marked by extraordinary events that symbolize liberation and perseverance.
As the chosen leader, he guided the Israelites out of slavery, enduring trials like the golden calf incident and their struggles in the wilderness. The giving of the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai stands as a defining moment, establishing moral and spiritual laws that continue to influence societies today. His life reflects a profound transformation-once a prince of Egypt, he became the shepherd of a nation, proving that true leadership is rooted in faith, courage Concept note: Once plagued by doubt, a man stood at the crossroads of uncertainty,questioning his worth and abilities.Yet, destiny beckoned him forward. Chosen, a Spring/Summer avant-garde collection, embodies this transformative journey a tribute to those who rise above self-doubt, embrace their inner strength, and step into their destined greatness.
For this collection, chosen colors are a mix of dark red, black, light blue, and beige colours that really speak to the mood I wanted to create. The deep red and black bring drama and strength, while the light blue and beige add softness and calm. Together, they balance each other beautifully.
The fabrics used are from Fendi and Jimmy Choo; they’re rich, high quality materials that feel as good as they look . The clothes have both elegance and structure, and these fabrics helped me bring that vision to life. The way they move and hold shape adds so much character to the designs.
This collection is personal. It’s about growth, about facing fear, and about finding your voice just like Moses did
