This year’s show was held at Hilton Colombo Residence on 5th December 2021 for a limited audience due to the Covid-19 pandemic and there the students of Fashion Design and Product Development Degree course, Department of Textile and Apparel Engineering have won several awards by lifting-up the name of University of Moratuwa at the event.
