The art and science of applying design and principles of aesthetics to clothing and accessories requires as much a deep understanding from a technical perspective, i.e. producing patterns, toilets and specifications for designs, sourcing, selecting and buying fabrics, trims, fastenings etc. as anticipating and forecasting trends and keeping up to date with emerging ones. VISTAS in Chennai offer an immersive & hands-on program in Fashion Styling 7 Design that takes students from design concepts and processes through to final production, progressing from basic drawing, draping, pattern making, sewing, and tailoring to haute couture while teaching business and contextual studies. With a strong foundation in technical proficiency and good eye for market trends, students will start to hone their individual styles and identities. VISTAS CHENNAI VISTAS is conceived as a crucible for molding talent in the field of design by a group of professional designers and architects who are passionate about both design and teaching. We believe ‘creativity’ can be nurtured with the right approach and tools. To this end we bring together our wide experience across India, deep industry network, accomplished faculty and good infrastructure to impart the very best design education and practical exposure right at the heart of the city.

3. FASHION DESIGN is the art of the
application of design and aesthetics or
natural beauty to clothing and
accessories.
It is influenced by cultural and social
attitudes, and has varied over time and
place.
Fashion designers work in a number of
ways in designing clothing and
accessories. Some work alone or as part
of a team.

4. WHY FASHION DESIGN?
Indian economy is expected to grow at 6% or
more for 10 years & would attract more
investments from global brands and retailers.
The country's clothing and textile industry is
poised to be more competitive, there would be
diversification of product mix creating new
opportunities for designers & exporters.
Till 2015 economists predict that the industry
will be driven by manufacturing
excellence, supply chain efficiency & a range of
product mix. By 2015, the industry is expected
to be product, brand, and process driven.
Consequently, the apparel industry will have far
reaching implications among
manufacturers, retailers & designers.
