Over the last few years, the term “fashion designing” has become more prevalent, emphasizing its importance in the creative industry. Understanding fashion design requires a deeper look into its meaning and concept.
Fashion, in a narrow sense, relates to the clothes we wear—their styles and trends that constantly evolve. However, design extends beyond just aesthetics; it is a mental process that begins with an idea. When something is designed, it first takes shape in the mind before being translated onto paper. Essentially, designing is “PUTTING AN IDEA ON PAPER IN A PLANNED MANNER WITH A PRE-CONCEIVED GOAL IN MIND.”
Fashion is known as a trend or style followed by individuals or groups within a specific time and place. With the large-scale production of ready-to-wear clothing, manufacturing units and export houses require trained professionals to lead design activities, product development, and coordination. The apparel industry is expanding rapidly, providing employment opportunities to thousands worldwide.
“Fashion is not just about clothes; it’s about self-expression, creativity, and innovation.”
As a response to the growing demand for skilled professionals, CIFT (Creative Institute of Fashion Technology) has introduced Fashion Studies as part of its curriculum. The course provides up-to-date concepts, techniques, applications, and hands-on practicals essential for mastering fashion design.
CIFT ensures that students gain a solid foundation in designing, boutique management, pattern construction, and other key areas. The syllabus is carefully structured to include all necessary information needed to understand the principles of fashion studies, equipping students with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
Furthermore, project guidelines are developed to enhance teachers’ effectiveness in delivering the curriculum. We welcome comments and suggestions from experts, faculty members, and the academic community to continuously improve our programs and maintain the highest standards in fashion education.
At CIFT, we are committed to nurturing creativity and shaping the future of fashion professionals. Join us and be part of the ever-evolving world of fashion!
