In the true spirit of democracy, it finally came down to a vote. We decided on the name by popular opinion. Naturally whichever name got the least “boos” was the winner. The T-shirt discussion went on for a considerably longer time, however. Ranging from colour, to design, to material, to style. Round neck or Polo? Individual names or not? What about colour? Black will be too mainstream while white will get dirty easily and blue someone’s already taken we are not going to repeat a colour of course that would be the 8th deadly sin.
After what felt like days and weeks, several white board renditions, a Photoshop design contest and even several brand presentations we were finally able to decide on a simple red polo neck tshirt, with a white print.
With victory in our hearts and minds and the feeling of having arrived, we trooped out of the classroom ready to announce ourselves to the world, fortified with the strength of our armour (on paper, of course) and the power of our name. While on the way down the stairs the only thing I could think of was, in quiet contemplation, maybe we should deviate into the fashion industry, we definitely did our fair bit of leg work after all.
The world of fashion allows for a creativity of thought that is hard to match in any other industry. Constantly evolving consumer trends, new designs and the uncountable product families are a big draw for me personally. Therefore, if given a choice, I would love to be of Aditya Birla Groups Fashion Vertical.
