Why study Fashion designing?

Fashion Design is THE career of the future. With the internet and social media invading
everyday lives, fashion has become a global phenomenon; constantly changing and evolving. It
requires special people with ingenuity, creativity and will to design. Good training is absolutely
imperative for one to create designer apparel that is truly unique.
Fashion is not just designing and creating clothes, there are several career choices affiliated
to this field. Fashion Illustration, Garment Manufacturing, Merchandising and Apparel
Management, Fabric Dyeing, CAD-CAM and Textile Science all put together, make a
comprehensive course in Fashion designing. The courses are programmed to provide students
from diverse backgrounds a professional and hands-on training in Fashion Designing and related
technical subjects, for their recognition in the international scenario along with huge growth
prospects in the domestic industry. Our Fashion Designing Programme attempts to inculcatvisual
and aesthetic sensitivity by understanding values that embody fashion. The EMPHASIS is
placed on Professionalism, Specialization, Expertise and Design Excellence to create FASHION
PROFESSIONALS.

Fashion Design as a career

(a)

What is Fashion?

Fashion is a social phenomenon that is common to several spheres of human activity.

It is more apparent and well documented in the fields of Art, Culture and Architecture among
others. However, with the common man the word Fashion is invariably associated with
clothing and a good dash of glitz and glamour.
So then, what is Fashion? It is generally considered to be the prevailing trend
introduced by well known celebrities and followed by the majority of society at any given
period of time. It is the "style" or statement created by designers and adopted by the
consumer who in today's world wants to think and look fashionable. Various Elements and
Principles of Design like colour, value, line, texture and silhouette, along with the intensive
knowledge of textiles, merchandising, manufacturing and retail contributes to this very wide
field. Therefore, fashion is not only about clothes, it's about adapting to a rapidly changing
and an extremely dynamic scenario to help develop one's personality and surrounding.
(b)

How does a fashion designer work?

Fashion designers can work in a number of ways. They may work for a Fashion House
or Retail Industry, where they are known as in-house designers. They may work alone or as
part of a team. Freelance designers work for themselves, and sell their designs to fashion
houses, directly to shops, or to clothing manufacturers. The garments bear the buyers label.
Some fashion designers are entrepreneurs and set up their own labels, under which their
designs are marketed. Some fashion designers are self-employed and design for individual
clients. Other high-fashion designers cater to specialty stores or high-fashion department
stores. Most fashion designers, however, work for apparel manufacturers, creating designs
for the mass market. Large designer brands which have a 'name' as their brand such as
Calvin Klein, Gucci, Ralph Lauren, or Coco Chanel are likely to be designed by a team of
individual designers under the direction of a design director.
(c)

Designing a collection

A fashion collection is something that designers put together each season (or Fashion
week) to show their idea of new trends in both their high end couture range as well as their
mass market range.
(d)

Designing Garments

Fashion designers work in different ways. Some sketch their ideas on paper, while
others drape fabric on a dress form. It is only when a designer is completely satisfied with
the fit of the toile (or muslin), that he or she will consult a professional pattern maker who
then makes the finished, working version of the pattern out of card. The pattern maker's job
is very precise and painstaking. The fit of the finished garment depends on their accuracy.
Finally, a sample garment is made up and tested on a model.

4.

Types of Fashion

There are several categories of fashion design, mostly positioned according to their price
points or brand image.
(a)

Haute Couture

Until the 1950s, fashion clothing was predominantly designed and manufactured
on a made-to-measure or haute couture basis (French for high-fashion), with the garment
being created for a specific client. A couture garment is made to order for an individual
customer, and is usually made from high-quality, expensive fabric, sewn with extreme
attention to detail and finish, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques.
Designers and Design Houses like Giorgio Armani and Christian Dior create both couture
3

(b)

Ready-to-Wear

Prt or ready-to-wear clothes refer to clothes that are available in high street or up
market stores. The customer can walk in and buy them off the rack. They are generally no
alterations as they are readily available in several size options. While they are not for made
specifically for individual customers, great care is taken while following fashion forecasts
and in the choice and cut of the fabric. Ready-to-wear collections are usually presented by
fashion houses each season during a period known as Fashion Week. This takes place on a
city-wide basis and occurs twice a year.
(c)

Mass Produced

Currently the fashion industry relies more on mass market sales. The mass market
caters for a wide range of customers, producing ready-to-wear clothes in large quantities
and standard sizes. Cheap materials creatively used, produce affordable fashion. Mass
market designers generally adapt the trends set by the famous names in fashion. They often
wait around a season to make sure a style is going to catch on before producing their own
versions of the original look. In order to save money and time, they use cheaper fabrics and
simpler production techniques which can easily be done by machine. The end product can
therefore be sold much more affordably. The downside of mass fashion is that fashion
leaders will be following new trends by then.

5.

Areas of Fashion Design

Many professional fashion designers start off by specializing in a particular area of fashion.
The smaller and the more specific the market, the more likely a company is to get the right look and
feel to their clothes. It is also easier to establish oneself in the fashion industry if a company
establishes a brand image. Once a fashion company becomes established (that is, has regular
buyers and is well-known by both the trade and the public), it may decide to expand into a new area.
If the firm has made a name for the clothes it already produces, this helps to sell the new line. It is
usually safest for a company to expand into an area similar to the one it already knows. For example,
a designer of women's sportswear might expand into men's sportswear.

6.

Growth of Fashion Scenario in the Indian market

Fashion industry in India is now developing rapidly due to the constant support of the
Ministry of Textiles. The scenario is encouraging and with every passing year new designers/fashion
professionals are arriving on the fashion scene. It may be in the world of modeling, designing,
photography or trend forecasting. Indian designers are opening new horizons, setting fresh goals
and are now proving their mettle on the ramp and the apparel industry in India. Textile and
Apparel industry is the second largest industry in India and employing more than 4 million people.
th
India is the 4 largest apparel supplier to the world. The Indian Retail Industry is growing at an
impressive rate

7.

How Can The Army Institute of Fashion & Design Fill The Gap?

Though, in the last decade, competition has been tough, India has shown considerable
progress in the field of Fashion & Design. Fashion Designers such as Ritu Beri, Rina Dhaka, Ritu
Kumar, Rohit Bal, Suneet Verma, Manish Malhotra and Manish Arora have already made their
presence felt at the international level. Fashion is not just about being creative, but is also a technical
field. It is also imperative that the designer is finely tuned into the needs of a market whether prt or
haute couture. AIFD has therefore collaborated with the best in the Industry. The Institute does not
just follow the curriculum set by the Bangalore University, but also provides additional information to
the student by means of specialized lectures, workshops and interactions with the industry. The
student is encouraged to innovate and excel in all aspects. This is especially possible because the
Institute has excellent infrastructure, including state of art labs with the latest equipment.
