Queen’s Turn, a collection showcased at JD Design Awards paid tribute to the Casino, it’s employers and the players. The garments were designed by Mitsy Swezy Souza, a student of BSc. in Fashion and Apparel Design at JD School of Design, Goa.

The young designer chose Casinos as she felt that it was getting a bad reputation. However, card games have been around since one’s childhood and can be seen being played locally.  The games played in the casino are similar to the ones played while growing up, the only difference is that in the casino it is played using money. The commercialization of the game has led to it being frowned upon. Mitsy through her collection wanted to educate the audience that the game of cards revolutionized the world of entertainment and was instrumental in building the country’s economy and boosting sportsmanship.
