With the
flowering Indian fashion & e-commerce industry growing at an industrious
pace, the demand for fashion designers is also growing substantially. The
organized retail sector has always seen a demand for fashion designers with
companies such as the Future Group and Reliance Retail recruiting for their
respective in house brands however exporters have also starting recruiting
heavily as competition from other countries such as China & Eastern Europe grows.
In addition
to this, the emergence of Indian e-commerce has also seen a heavy demand in
fashion design related jobs. Companies such as Snapdeal, Jabong, Myntra,
Flipkart, etc require fashion designers, stylists, merchandisers, fashion trend
forecasters, fashion bloggers, accessory designers, etc which does at the end
of the day require a keen sense fashion and style. However, what lacks till
date is the lack of quality fashion design courses and infrastructure to teach
such courses. What the market demands as such are job oriented courses that
follow international pedagogy so that students get the necessary exposure to
meet the challenges of the ever changing job market.
What has also changed globally in the fashion
industry is the emergence of new materials, patterns, cuts, designs, colours,
etc and our present institutions are not capable of managing such rapid change
in the sector. The National Institute
even though has been around for over twenty five years and has seen almost all
of the country’s top designers as its alumni such as RituBeri, JJ Valaya,
Sabyasachi Mukherjee and noted international names such as PrabalGurung and
Manish Arora as well. However, neither them nor the private institutions have
been able to play catch up with the catwalks of the west. This is where
institutions such as NILA (New College Nottingham India Lifestyles Academy) in
Gurgaon come in. Set up as a collaboration between New College Nottingham, UK
and BWI Educon Ventures Pvt. Ltd. (a Batra Group promoted enterprise and a
sister concern of Batra Hospital), NILA aims to bridge this gap between the
west and the east and provide career oriented courses in fashion design.
The
curriculum NILA provides has been designed to provide students interchangeable
academic and practical skills that enable them to meet the ever evolving needs
of the fashion industry. Moreover, the course demands students to experiment
with their imagination and come up with innovative designs. A strong emphasis
is placed on practical presentation skills and garment manufacture and that is
the reason why the academy has the best in machinery such as sewing machines
from JUKI to the state of the art CAD/CAM suite for pattern designing and
cutting. Lastly, NILA will also provide students an opportunity to visit and
interact with reputed fashion designers, fashion companies, export houses, professional
bodies so as to gain the necessary exposure to the latest trends in the fashion
industry.
