AOD collaborates with Hameedia for brand new fashion collection

AOD (Academy of Design), Sri Lanka’s international campus renowned for producing industrially-experienced designers, recently announced a special collaboration with Hameedia. Through this project AOD fashion students will work with Hameedia brand to produce a collection of shirt-dresses.

AOD principal, British fashion designer Karen MacLeod said that AOD encourages students to work on live projects such as this one, in order to help them develop their creativity with a comprehensive sense of practicality.
“The world cannot make use of designers who design within a bubble – they need to be professionals, who use creativity to address social needs with a good sense of practicality. So, I cannot stress how important it is for design students to work with industries while studying; it is what makes their work socially relevant and well grounded.”
Hameedia’s Managing Director Fouzul Hameed said: “Hameedia is a futuristic brand that sees value in young talent. This is why we’re pleased to work with AOD – a design campus known to produce excellent young designers. Through this partnership we hope to give a chance to a young designer to study the Hameedia clientele, product standards and work closely with our brand. This is Hameedia’s way of integrating with future fashion.”
