™ Fashion Technology ˜

Fashion designing deals in clothing is regarded as one of the basic necessities of life. In the beginning we clothed ourselves for safety from the natural elements, but as the time went by, new objectives were incorporated in this basic activity of humans.

The concept of fashion now goes well beyond mere clothing. But in today’s world, fashion designing has evolved as a full- fledged industry. The profession is connected with creating innovative and inspiring garments that enhance the body, personality and character of individuals. To be successful in this field, one should possess a sharp sense for line, shape, texture, color, drape and fabrics. Along with fashion consciousness and creativity, one also needs to have excellent communication skills to express ideas and listen to the client’s requirements. Knowledge of the market trend is also necessary.

Fashion designing can be divided into three main branches — Garment design, Leather design, Accessory & Jewellery design. There is a tremendous growth for talented professionals in this field.
