Fashion design is the applied art dedicated to clothing and lifestyle accessories created within the cultural and social influences of a specific time.

The Indian fashion industry is moving up the fashion value chain and witnessing the expansion of domestic and global fashion brands. The fashion industry is one of the most dynamic, challenging and fastest growing sectors. India, which has always been a centre for the traditional textile and garment trade, has in the past decade become a centre of innovation in garment and fashion design.

Specialisation in each of these fields can earn a lucrative job for a designer. With a large number of Indian fashion designers attracting the international market among Indian consumers and select segments of Western markets, the Indian fashion industry stands at par with the European fashion industry – in concepts, styles and designs. As one of the major players in the global apparel market, the need for professionals in the field of fashion is increasing tremendously in India.
