The dissemination process of MBKM final projects involved several stages, starting from the collection of proposals and design selection in September. The subsequent process involved assistance and evaluation with supervisors supported by Business and Industrial World (DUDI) partners. The final stage included a photoshoot session leading up to the peak event of the fashion show.
Nila Febrianti expressed deep gratitude to all parties who supported the event. “To the leadership of ISI Denpasar, lecturers, DUDI partners who provided guidance, event performers, alumni, and other event supporters.
