About
The Post-Graduate Diploma in Fashion Design is an opportunity to take up a
creative career in clothing. It holds great potential for employment opportunities in
the rapidly expanding designer label, luxury brands, apparel retail brands and
ready-to-wear fashion industry. In the current competitive environment, a fashion
designer needs to be equipped with knowledge, skills and professional attitude to
give shape to creative ideas through technical interpretation.
The special feature of the course is that it provides for a
broad intake of graduates from any discipline to imbibe an integrated approach to
design technical subjects with thorough market understanding. The course provides
opportunities to students to gain live experience through industry interaction,
internship and live projects to learn and better professional practices. It helps
develop students with a holistic perspective of complete product development process
right from concept to consumer. Semester Two onwards students undertake
“women's wear” industry projects. Students also understand the practices
of the industry better from the industry exposure they come across through industrial
visits to design houses, export houses, process houses, and dying printing units.
Experts from the industry are often invited for discussions on specific topics and to
bring students up to date in the state of art technology implemented and used widely
in the industry.
Teaching methods will
evolve in this semester to develop students towards greater independence and enable
them to embrace the self-study mode and research methods. The final semester provides
the maximum scope to design own final research brief and implement it
successfully.
