A complete fashion designing programme
The Diploma in Fashion Designing is an intensive two-year programme designed to give you the essential skills and knowledge to work in the fashion industry or start your own label. Instead of choosing one craft, you study all of them – and see how they fit together, from the sketch on paper to the finished garment on the dress form.
Because the diploma includes Regular Tailoring, it begins with the fundamentals. It then moves through specialization, embroidery, dyeing, illustration and draping, and finishes with portfolio development and internship assistance so you leave with work to show.
