Eco Fashion Show in INTI

The Eco Fashion Show 2011 was held in our main campus that is the INTI International University in Nilai on July 13th 2011. It's a unique fashion showcase which provides an opportunity for talented designers to present fashion which has high sustainability as well as aesthetic sense.
The event aims to:
*Create global warming & fair trade awareness in general
*Promote sustainable clothing
*Educate youths through this go-green campaigns
*Experience an exclusive runway event for the first time at INTI IU

The prefix 'Eco' may sound too cliched these days. Some may not think that it would go well with the full-of-hype word 'fashion'. If you think that way, you are proved wrong (see pictures of eco haute coutures below)! Sustainable and environment friendly clothings do not have to look boring or dull in comparison to their common peers. They can be as vibrant as the commercial clothings and yet contribute in helping to save our Mother Earth. In fact, eco fashion is about making clothes that take into account hte environment, the health of consumers and their working conditions of people in the fashion industry. So it seems to be a good deal and a win-win situation, isn't it? Most Eco Fashion clothes are made from organic material which don't involve harmful chemical and fabric colorings, and sometimes even better, from recycled material. This is why ecofashion industry is championed and supported even by top brands such as Levi.

A Funny Experience in INTI

One of my funny experience in college happened early this year. The water fountain near the lifts at the other end at level 4 burst and flooded the whole level.  I have no idea why it burst as I wasn’t on level 4 at that time but I went and see the damage the water did. It was really bad. The water was just spraying out of the pipe where the water fountain was. The water was spraying directly at the lift causing the lift to be seeping water in. The water also escaped through the emergency staircase. The water was flowing from one end to the other. There was so much water that the water entered the class and flooded the classes. Eventually, they shut off the main water source so the water would stop spraying causing the whole of Inti Subang to not have water for the whole day. The cleaners had to clean the whole of level 4 and it took a very long time. It was a funny experience because classes were cancelled on that day. Unfortunately for me, my class was still on because our class was the furthest class from the water so it was dry and unaffected from the incident. Despite that, I still find it funny because it is something that you don’t see every day. - I-May
