Asian Society charity fashion show 2010.
Wednesday 14 April 2010
An Asian version of James Bond, resplendent in traditional Indian clothing, will be brought to life by St Andrews students at this year's Diya (Saturday 17 April 2010).
Set against the backdrop of a foggy St Andrews, 'James Khan' will make his appearance at the annual charity fashion show organised by the University's Asian Society. Diya, which first launched two years ago, is the only student run Asian fashion show in Scotland.
Named after a traditional Indian candle, the event aims to celebrate the diversity of student life in St Andrews. Last year's show celebrated links between Asia and St Andrews, fusing Sikh tartan turbans with golf wear. This year will see an action-packed show with a Bond theme, as well as a bit of comedy and a celebration of rain.
