Fashion Technology and Design
Till the 1980s, fashion was the bastion of the rich and famous. It was the 1990s that brought fashion into the middle-class home. This led to a huge spurt in opening of thousands of home boutiques and thereafter their dreams of becoming a fashion designer a la Ritu Beri. Today, every other person aspires to wear the 'labelled' designer clothes, shoes and accessories. This has resulted in generating a huge demand for the designers, not just for clothes but also for accessories, furnishings, home decorations and so on.
Courses such as Fashion Designing, Gems & Jewellery Designing, and Footwear Designing, etc. have therefore become HOT careers. Institutes such as NIFT with centres at New Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Kolkata, Gandhinagar & Chennai, NID, Ahmedabad, JDTI, Delhi and Pearl Institute of Fashion Technology, Delhi are offering courses in these areas.
After graduating from these courses, one can start working with an already established designer or can also start on one's own.
