BUFT Students Showcase Industry-Inspired Fashion Projects at 'Thread to Trend'
The Department of Fashion Design & Technology at BGMEA University of Fashion & Technology (BUFT) organized "Thread to Trend," an exhibition featuring the industry-inspired product development projects of FDT Batch 231 students, on 3 August 2026. The projects were developed as part of the Product Development and Re-engineering course, highlighting students' creativity, technical expertise, and understanding of modern apparel product development. Supervised by Ms. Kamrun Nahar Naznin, Assistant Professor, students completed the full product development process, including brand, customer, and product research, product re-engineering, design development, collection boards, and professionally executed garment samples.
The projects were further supported through the Computer Aided Design (CAD II) course under the guidance of Mr. Tanjibul Hasan Sajib, Assistant Professor, and Ms. Suraiya Shamanti Islam, Lecturer. They mentored students in pattern making, pattern correction, garment fitting, and test-fit sessions to ensure technical accuracy and quality. The exhibition reflected real-world apparel industry practices by integrating research, design, pattern making, fitting, and sample development. The hands-on experience strengthened students' technical and problem-solving skills while preparing them for careers in the fashion and apparel industry.
