We cannot talk about modernity without the field of Fashion and cloth making coming into sharp focus. Fashion plays a very critical role in defining modernity and the various facets attributed to it; the way an individual dresses can define his/her social class, age, religion, culture and even morality. Fashion has evolved from cultural functional clothing of our ancestors to urban styles that incorporate individual tastes and style prejudices.
We have a vibrant team of creative staff who steer our students to perfect on fashion trends, sketch designs, selection of colors, fabrics and styles, and create prototypes. Choosing a career in fashion design has various merits which include but are not limited to self-employment, the salary range and the freedom to create cutting-edge designs. Fashion designing also provides opportunities for travel and exposure to fashion trends and ideas.
The success of an entrepreneur in fashion and design is heavily depended on creativity and the courage to implement the creative imaginations into trending designs.
