Zenraa Fashion Odyssey 2025 – Campus Edition: Traditions of Tomorrow

Zenraa’s next big adventure in fashion isn’t unfolding on a typical runway or in a downtown studio – it’s happening on a university campus. On October 18, 2025, the Bangladesh University of Textiles (BUTEX) in Dhaka will transform into a vibrant festival ground for Zenraa Fashion Odyssey 2025 – Campus Edition. Co-hosted by the BUTEX Fashion Society, this first-of-its-kind campus fashion campaign is designed to discover, empower, and celebrate the next generation of fashion innovators. It’s an odyssey that brings “Traditions of Tomorrow” to life, blending runway energy with cultural depth in the heart of a university.

Zenraa believes fashion and heritage are more than just clothing – they’re living stories of culture, identity, and imagination. That ethos runs through every element of the Campus Edition. In a one-day extravaganza, Bangladesh’s rich textile heritage will meet the fresh creativity of youth. Zenraa’s mission of empowering young creators, designers, artisans, and students comes alive as the campus becomes a living canvas for style and storytelling. From morning showcases to a spirited cultural night, Zenraa Fashion Odyssey – Campus Edition invites students, emerging designers, models, artists, and creatives to craft the “traditions of tomorrow” together.

What’s Happening

From dawn to dusk, every corner of BUTEX will buzz with creative energy. Here are the highlights of what to expect at the festival:

• Fashion Designer Competition & Runway: Budding fashion designers from BUTEX and beyond will debut their creations on the catwalk. It’s a high-energy competition where student innovators turn fabric into fantasy, vying for the spotlight and a chance to launch their design dreams.
