Mood Indigo, IIT Bombay’s annual cultural festival, is synonymous with creativity, talent, and grandeur. Among its dazzling array of over 240 events spanning 15 genres, Vogue, the intercollegiate fashion competition, stands as the crown jewel. This flagship event is more than just a showcase of designs; it’s a pulsating celebration of artistry where imagination meets fabric, and raw talent finds its spotlight.

Retro Futurism: The Theme That Transcends Time

This year, Vogue takes a bold leap into the world of Retro Futurism—a theme that masterfully blends nostalgia with innovation. Picture the sleek, chrome aesthetics of the future fused with the vibrant, groovy vibes of the past. It’s where bold metallics meet vintage silhouettes, and neon lights merge with timeless patterns. Under this theme, budding designers are challenged to tell stories of yesterday’s tomorrow through their collections, creating a runway that’s both evocative and visionary.

Where Talent Meets Glamour

Vogue isn’t your average college fashion competition; it’s a launchpad for dreams. Every year, over 400 participants and an enthusiastic audience of 4,000+ come together for an event that vibrates with energy, creativity, and competitive spirit. Students from India’s leading fashion institutions vie for the coveted chance to showcase their work, challenge norms, and leave a mark on the fashion world. What sets Vogue apart is its focus on storytelling through clothing. Participants don’t just design outfits—they craft narratives that come alive on stage, perfectly marrying creativity with high-pressure execution.
