MA (Fashion & Apparel Design)


Master of Arts (Fashion & Apparel Design)

2 Years – 4 Semesters – Full Time

Fashion is nothing but a choice



Overview

The Fashion Design Post Graduation course educational plan depends on a plan sharpening that offsets worldwide style feel with an Indian soul. 

All-encompassing contributions on a nonexclusive plan with an engaged methodology towards attire instill the capacity to create and channelize imagination. A consecutive active encounter empowers students to conceptualize configuration, design making, and development of the article of clothing of flawless quality. 

Admission to our school will ensure even development of homeroom getting ready and realistic application is the element of the course at our Fashion Design Institute. The course aligns customary country craftwork by working with native rustic craftsmen through the bunch program.

Students acquire an important understanding of the wide range that the Indian style incorporates through temporary positions at driving design houses/fabricating units to improve information and defeat the down-to-earth difficulties confronted. This adaptability is clear in the last year through the graduating style assortments, conceptualized and built by the students at the Design Collection graduation.

"I am Archana, a student of Vishwakarma University studying M.A in Fashion Designing. The best thing about Vishwakarma is that they emphasize more on practical knowledge rather than a theoretical one. Vishwakarma University has equipped me completely to outshine my talent in the world of fashion, this designing course is just amazing, and it provides us with more career options in the world of fashion. It has helped me a lot in brushing up my designing skills and with their excellent exposure. 

Vishwakarma University is a good example of an ideal place for students who want to pursue excellence in their desired stream. Vishwakarma is a place where you not only find opportunities but also find out what your capabilities are and maximize them to the fullest. I, as a designing student, have found interest in many other things along with fashion itself. It has taught me to be passionate about what I love doing and use that as a goal, for striving better at whatever I take up in life. I would highly recommend Vishwakarma University due to its par excellence in faculty, international exposure, and curriculum, all of which helps mould an individual in various design streams with a focus on aesthetics and international trends."
