Diploma in Fashion Designing

Varying between 12 to 24 months duration, a Diploma in Fashion Designing is a skill-based industry-oriented course where everything from the specifics of design and development to starting and sustaining a brand is discussed extensively. Industriousness and creativity are believed to be the blood of the fashion industry. Fashion ideas, culture study, patterns, garment design and related topics form the core part of the course. Furthermore, Marketing, Retailing, Communication, Product Development, Social Media are also dealt with. This course ingrains all the required knowledge for an individual to be adept in the Fashion Industry. Since fashion is a subject of taste, governed by subjectivity and innovation, it is more about teaching the students how to explore their own creativity instead of following theoretical knowledge.

Having knowledge of the history of fashion and costumes with respect to Indian or Western, contemporary or classical is a necessary skill. It helps students in tracking styles, patterns and tastes through centuries. It also increases the creative spectrum of students by exposing them to famous works in the past.

A dress is nothing but a play of colours and designs. Topics like elements of colour theory, design principles and how they apply to the fashion industry are explored in great detail under Design and Color Fundamentals. Students are also encouraged to participate in different designing projects so that they understand the specifics of design and colour in a better way.

In a Diploma in Fashion Designing, students are coached through researching activities like Design thesis and Design workshops. These workshops have similar equipment and machinery to a real production site, making the translation of essential skills easier. Individual idea generation and applying that knowledge in practical conditions is something that is developed in this subject.
