A Career in Fashion
|
Fashion designing is a exciting artform and at the same time provides a stimulating and rewarding career path to many stalwarts. Fashion designing is more than just creating beautiful pieces of fashion. it extends to a myriad of activities and opportunities that lie within the fashion industry itself which is a thriving and lucrative industry. The local and export market for the fashion industry is one of the top 10 leading revenue drivers for the country. In this region, the fashion market especially in manufacturing accounts for a large volume of consumer wearables found throughout the world today.
Fashion isn't just about clothes. Fashion accessories and consumables such as handbags, shoes, belts, jewellery and other items can be included within the scope of a fashion designer. The industry itself requires skilled and knowledgeable people constantly and it is with this criteria that IFTC structures it courses and fashion programmes to provide the necessary skill sets an individual would require to adapt and blend into the fashion industry almost immediately.
