AIM
The fashion industry has large scope for small businesses to operate;
but the industry is complex and dynamic, and business owners or
managers must combine competencies in design, manufacture and
management to be successful. The course sets such a focus and
has a strong accent on entrepreneurship. It aims to prepare
technically qualified professionals to co-ordinate related activities
in areas of design manufacture, and management with a product
bias towards Indian/ethnic apparel.
SCENARIO AHEAD
The fashion sector is very large in India, but organized sector
accounts for a mere 25 percent and the rest is serviced by small
and medium businesses. A large proportion is occupied by the Indian
style segment, not only in the Indian market, but also abroad where
Indians are concentrated. Indians will always consume a mix of
Western and Indian Fashion wear and as, overall prosperity is rising,
this segment is also booming.

the Indian-style fashion industry. To develop the requisite skills and
understanding indispensable for a trained professional, the first broad
areas of study and practice are in design covering fashion illustration
and CAD, design process and associated technical skills such as
pattern making, draping, garment construction, and fabric study.
