KEN FERNS

(Celebrity Fashion Designer & Stylist)

"Designing and styling has been a part of my life from a very early age and has been a great support and encouragement for my work. Fashion is about knowing what you like and then designing the best out of your understanding. I have been a part of many shows, fashion shows, events where we had to focus on what the character is about and how the story revolves and then design accordingly. Designing is all about knowing the back story. Before starting off anything first know your own wardrobe and body shape and see what you like. It has been such a great opportunity to share all my experiences with the students and make them ready for the industry out there. I get extremely happy when I get to connect with such aspiring Designers, and be a small part of their careers and I thank Indian Design League for that. Cheers to the Webinars, live sessions, online Internship for the students."

"There is a Fitness Revolution, we are moving towards a world which is fit, stylish, and confident... 

Being a fashion model I understand the peer and mental pressure to stay fit and healthy, the youth goes through the same these days. IDL was an opportunity for me to connect with the Creative Minds and enlighten them on health, fitness and style- the 3 elements of confidence.
It was such a great opportunity to address the youngsters about keeping up with the busy schedule with a fitness regime. I conducted a webinar  named #You, which basically was an interactive session on self-care, self-esteem, and the things required for it like fitness, health, sense of style, and likewise. It's been one of a kind thing to connect with young and aspiring designers and share with them some personal and professional experiences."

(Fashion Show Choreographer & Grooming Expert)

"Fashion is one of the hottest career choices. Fashion is the most searched profession on the internet and has a greater impact on the youth. The amount of hard work and smart work that goes behind those trend setting fashion shows and weeks is tremendous.
It's the glam that attracts but later becomes the finest choice as the creator in you starts evolving to create something unique. It's all about small steps leading to bigger milestones and we should consider ourselves lucky to be a part of Indian Design League and nurturing the learning experiences from the experts and their experiences.
