OVERVIEW

Apparel Merchandising is an inventive area that covers a range of topics, including product design, manufacturing, marketing, and retail operations. Our Apparel Merchandising and Technology programs take students beyond design competitions, apparel industry visits, and industry collaborations—marketing, visual merchandising, and communications. Students will combine the knowledge of fashion and textile studies with consumer behavior, trend analysis, and merchandising techniques, as well as the technical aspects of garment production and quality control. There is a strong emphasis on internships in the foundation semester which is mandatory for all students.

Students will learn fundamentals of clothing materials & techniques- knitting, weaving, design, dyeing, washing, patterning, cutting &sewing. They will also master communication and learn how to develop from sample to garment production. Students will also learn how to develop their own collections and present those to the audience.
