Fashion Design Training in Hyderabad

Why Fashion Design is most Focused Nowadays ?

• Technical and creative prowess are paramount to pursue a degree in Fashion Technology, a course offered at very few Indian Institutes. These include the Pearl Academy (Garment manufacturing at the post-graduate level), National Institute of Fashion Technology (a four year B. FTech in Apparel Production).
• A course in fashion technology focuses on fabric types and their suitability to the climate, the occasion, wearability, etc. Students are taught to study fabric and choose the correct fabric for the product being designed.

FashionDesign Is – Future Driven

• In many aspects, fashion and tech are a great match: both industries are future-driven, consumer-focused and when combined appeal to the fast-growing segment of young consumers.
• However, the quest to give fashion technology a comprehensive, all encapsulating definition continues. For that, we have reached out to experts in the space and here is what they had to say:
• There is no such thing. Technology is both a channel and a best practice around delivering a product.
• It could mean a unique and convenient purchase experience, or it could mean a means to acquire a customer, but unless you’re experimenting with materials science, you’re just following your customer.
• Technology is all about using scientific knowledge to improve or solve a problem. Fashion technology is a specific area in which technology finds new usage.
• Fashion technology covers everything from using nanotechnology to improving fabrics, to sites like Lyst which improve shopping online.
• In the most basic explanation, fashion tech is the space where technology and fashion have merged to create faster and more innovative ways to shop, market, educate and experience fashion.
• In the past, the only way to be a part of the fashion industry was to live in a fashion city such as Paris and work at a publication house, PR firm or with a designer and work your way up.
• Technology has opened the fashion industry wide open.
• A fashion technology company and a technology company in the fashion vertical are distinct entities. A technology company may make a product for the fashion space or that targets at the fashion vertical.
• A fashion technology company works with and builds upon the fashion universe by enabling, modifying, or enhancing some unique aspect of the industry.

Fashion Technology Is Co-Creation

• Technology is now at the core of any co-creative processes. Modern consumers help brands decide which items to design and produce; Moda Operandi takes pre-orders for designers, and ModCloth and Stitch Collective allow consumers to vote on designs.
• Other fashion tech startups let users tap into existing networks or join new like-minded communities. For instance, Stylitics allows users to track how often they wear clothing, while Chloe + Isabel have taken the Avon model and applied it to funky jewellery for the college set, and StyleOwner lets anyone set up their shop.
• The use of tech in fashion also marks the beginning of empowered users as startups are making useful large data sets. For example,granular data back to brands, while ‘Shop It To Me’ uses customers’ preferences to send them customised sale information.
• Similarly, Poshly is creating an exhaustive database of each customer’s physical characteristics and product preferences. In some ways, algorithms, curators, and ‘discovery platforms’ have merged to become the new recommendation engines for fashion buyers.

Fashion Design & Technology Is Big Data

• Back in 2010, the fashion was looking to gather big data and explore the use of sophisticated algorithms. Nowadays, almost every fashion startup utilises ‘cutting-edge technologies’ in some way or another.
• Back then, fashion labels existed mostly offline. Nowadays, thanks to the advances of the internet, most fashion tech businesses combine online with offline elements.
• Every brand must figure out how to connect with its customers and structure their business around the relationships they want to have with their customer rather than letting their distribution channels define them.
• To some, it is just a new discipline that allows designers to explore and use innovative tools in fashion. To others, it is an innovative space exploring the intersection of tech in fashion, from design to retail. Some also argue that fashion technology encapsulates all innovations directed at the fashion realm.
• However, it is not that simple. Using a three-legged stool analogy, to be considered a fashion tech – innovator, startup or company – one must have at least two of the following qualities: disruptive technology, innovative business model, and most importantly, social impact.

Scope and Career Opportunities:

• Largely a practical and hands-on course, the subject preps graduates so that they can expect to be picked up for the post of production managers or assistant production managers by fashion houses or garment manufacturers directly.
• Fashion designing gives you the opportunity to be your own boss. You can train and work under well-known designers and gain that much-needed experience and relevant exposure before setting up your own label. You can even freelance for fashion houses. Alternatively, you can find employment in an export house or a garment manufacturing unit.
