Career in Fashion & Design:

A career in fashion Designing has become one of the most sought after careers among the students. These prospective designers follow their own style of dressing and believe in setting a trend rather than following a trend set by others. India, a traditional textiles belt, is fast emerging as one of the global leaders in the field of fashion. Due to several reasons like rich textiles heritage, cheap labor costs, trained manpower, state-of-the-art production units to name a few, the country has become one of the most favored countries for the garment and accessories importers globally.
On the other hand the factors like growing yearn for fashion forward attires, globalization, faster modes of communication etc., have resulted in tremendous scope in this field not only nationally but globally.
As a Fashion professional, you will get opportunities to come into contact with celebrities from glitter and glamour world. You are required to study the tastes of stars and design dresses that suit them and you will have to apply your creativity to put forth new captivating designs that would entice the world of glamour. ‘Haute couture,’ the business of making highly fashionable, expensive and often trend-setting clothes mainly for women, has great potential at the global level. The creation of a world market for Indian garments is largely the contribution of Indian fashion designers.
Do not take Fashion design as glorified tailoring. This upcoming profession has a wide variety of functions. From a well dressed person, we refer not only to his clothes but also to accessories he wears such as belt, footwear, headgears and ornaments etc. Fashion design means all these and much more.
