In a country as multifaceted as India, fashion is as much an expression of the self as it is a reflection of the social milieu we inhabit. It is deeply personal, and yet, a mirror unto itself of a nation’s aspirations, its history and identity. Perhaps that’s the reason why, say, a humble dhoti never goes out of style, or the ever-so-elegant sari keeps seeing pretty modern iterations every so often. Set up in 1986, the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), New Delhi, is acutely aware of the sheer diversity and scope for experimentation India offers when it comes to fashion, and has consistently tried to expand the boundaries of the industry. It has done so by marrying knowledge with traditional arts, contemporary thought, and innovations in design and technology.
The institute awards degrees in undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral studies and provides a world-class learning environment. Over the years, it has initiated tie-ups with several international institutes and strengthened its academic framework. Invigorating thought leadership, research stimulus, industry focus, creative enterprise and peer learning have further reinforced the institute’s foundation.
