Raffles Design Institute Manila : Non conventional graduation ceremony

Today as of June 27, 2015 at Dusit Hotel Makati,I have witnessed a non conventional graduation ceremony hosted by Raffles Design Institute. When I say non conventional, it is not in a bad sense;



this graduation I attended is combination of a passing of age ceremony and show. This is not a traditional graduation ceremony where students are in all formal attire; Half hearted listen to speeches  chat with each other or just pretend to be awake while waiting to go up the stage, shake hands then pose for a picture.. ( we all are guilty of this..) How many ceremonies did we really get to stay awake through out?? ( If you are as old as i am or probably in the working age you would be smiling or just shaking your head.)

So what consist of this graduation? This is a combination of a graduation ceremony( minus the long winded speech) and a fashion show that presents the graduates individual creation in fashion.

This is a new concept of ceremony which I appreciate a lot.  The graduation show cases the talent of their student through their creation and masterpieces. Really, The graduates are talented and as a viewer you feel that you are watching a fashion show created and directed by professionals. From the models all the way to the support group to make the event a success.

Here are some of the pictures during the event. I am a fashionably challenge person so i really can't comment so its for you viewers to appreciate.

To say that these are just fresh grads with fire to take on the world with talent and discipline is something noteworthy we may see their names on runways or being trade marks in the future.

For me I'll keep my eyes open for these young adults ready to take on the present..
