TCNS Clothing, a leading women’s branded apparel company is promoting emerging talent and has taken an interesting initiative.

To identify, nurture and promote emerging talent in the textile design industry, the incubation cell at the company in collaboration with NIFT organized a textile design workshop INC.TEX at Gurgaon.

This initiative provided an opportunity for 25 talented students from the NIFT to learn from experienced industry professionals and bring their ideas and innovative concepts to the fore.

The workshop witnessed students demonstrating their skills and ideas in conceptualizing print design/ ‘Maquette’ for womenswear during the event. During this, experienced professionals from TCNS encouraged them to come up with distinct narratives while developing their innovative and conceptual designs. The collaboration between students and professionals helped participants acquire valuable insights and resulted in a better exchange of ideas and perspectives.

Students from NIFT- Anushka Nayan and Om Chaudhari won the top two awards and Jivitesh Mundari and Priya Soni were awarded an internship at TCNS.

“TCNS believes in design that is innovative, contemporary, and functional as we continually strive to nurture and foster new talent in the retail industry. Taking this thought a step further, The Incubation Cell at TCNS has offered this unique opportunity to bring together students’ visionary ideas to the fore,” says Anant Daga, MD, TCNS Clothing Co. Ltd.

He further added that they aim to stir up excitement among the students and acquire the best talent through INC.TEX as TCNS believes in giving a similar atmosphere of growth and learning in the organisation. Our collaboration with NIFT will provide a unique platform to the next generation of creatives and will act as a stepping stone for trailblazers in the apparel retail Industry.
