VMPL
New Delhi [India], June 10: Gone are the days when fashion used to be limited to the runway. Today, it is present on screens, in retail spaces, and on social media, while becoming an important aspect of people's identity. From the way people dress for work and leisure to how they present themselves on social media, fashion has changed to become a method of self-expression.
As clothing keeps becoming a bigger part of lifestyle, media, branding, and contemporary lifestyle, the industry requires professionals who aren't just highly skilled but also understand the role fashion plays in the modern world.
AAFT's fashion design undergraduate programs address this reality. These programs have been created to prepare students for professional roles within the fashion industry.
Why Does It Matter Now?
In 2022, the Indian fashion market stood at $102.8 billion and is expected to grow steadily over the next decade, reaching around $146.3 billion by 2032.
