UPIDR celebrates World Design Day!

At the Department of Fashion Design, UPIDR, we celebrate the power of design to inspire, innovate, and transform the world around us. Design is more than aesthetics—it is a language of creativity, problem-solving, and meaningful change.

From concept to creation, our students continuously explore new ideas, blend tradition with technology, and shape the future of fashion and design. Today, we honour every designer, thinker, and creator who dares to imagine a better tomorrow.

Design with purpose. Create with passion. Inspire with innovation.

A seminal text in the discourse of visual culture, The Challenge of Modern Art by Allen Leepa offers a profound examination of the artistic revolutions that redefined the twentieth century. Through critical insight and historical perspective, the book unpacks the philosophies, movements, and aesthetic transformations that continue to shape contemporary art and design.

For artists, designers, educators, and scholars, this work serves as both an intellectual guide and a source of creative reflection—challenging us to question, interpret, and engage deeply with the evolving language of art.

A valuable addition to every art and design library.
