One of the rare happening in the Tibetan society is definitely the promotion of Tibetan fashion due to lack of professional designers or tailors mostly busy with basic stitching of chupa, the traditional Tibetan dress. The Drokpo Team and Ancient Culture Protection Center has taken an initiative to promote Tibetan costume designed for universal appeal and will present a rare Tibetan couture show by young Tibetan designer Tenzin Tsetan on 9th December at Hotel Shahenshah in Kathmandu.
The show would include dresses of five angels of Tibet and seven regional dresses of Tibet to give an introduction of the style of Tibetan dress, prêt line collection of Himalayan Couture fashion house and designed by Tenzin Tsetan, western outfit that would have distinctive Tibetan characteristics, t-shirt designs and a special creative couture collection of the designer.
According to designer Tenzin Tsetan, “this is a rare kind of show to introduce and promote Tibetan dress and establish that Tibetan dress or dresses with typical Tibetan characteristics could actually sell to the world. I have designed my collection based on typical Tibetan characteristics like the eight auspicious symbols, I have particularly put effort to design Oscar gowns that has unique Tibetan style and it would be presented in the creative couture section”.
All the dressed would be sported by over 20 young local Tibetans and supported by some local and foreign models. All the beautiful models would be brushed up by Tibetan make-up artist Maya. They have been practicing their ramp walk every Saturday for over a month now and are ready to show off their talents.
