Program Structure & Curriculum Overview

The curriculum is structured into advanced learning blocks covering Pattern Making (Theory & Practicals), Fashion Designing, Fashion Management, Textiles, and Merchandising.

It builds on undergraduate knowledge and moves decisively toward strategy, management, and professional practice, preparing learners to function confidently in senior or independent roles.

Advanced Pattern Making — Theory

At the postgraduate level, pattern making focuses on precision, fit, and professional accuracy. Students deepen their understanding of sewing techniques, traditional stitches, embroidery, and the essential precautions required in advanced pattern development.

The module covers human body proportions using the eight-head theory, body silhouettes, anatomy, and photo analysis. Learners also refine professional-level sketching techniques for men, women, and children, ensuring design intent translates accurately into construction.

This theoretical foundation prepares students for high-fashion, bespoke, and production-level garments.

You will learn to:

• Master advanced pattern accuracy and fit

• Interpret images and concepts into patterns

• Apply anatomy knowledge to garment construction

Advanced Pattern Making — Practicals

Students apply theory through hands-on garment construction in studio settings. The focus is on constructing blocks, drafting patterns, and stitching complete garments with attention to tailoring quality and finishing.

The workflow mirrors industry practice from measurements and block creation to fitting and final execution using appropriate machinery and professional techniques.

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

• Construct and finish complex garments

• Adapt blocks for varied silhouettes

• Demonstrate industry-level sampling skills

Fashion Designing & Creative Development

This module moves learners from illustration to concept-driven, collection-oriented design thinking. Students explore body silhouettes, anatomy, fabric selection, accessories, colour theory, and style lines, including optical illusions used in fashion.

Advanced sketching techniques for men, women, and children are refined with a focus on coherence, styling, and market relevance.

You will learn to:

• Design complete, concept-based fashion collections

• Integrate accessories and fabrics meaningfully

• Use colour and styling to shape visual perception

Textiles, Surface Techniques & Fabric Technology

At the PG level, textiles are studied analytically and strategically. Students explore textile history, terminology, natural and man-made fibres, yarn counts, textures, woven and non-woven fabrics, and construction techniques.

Processes such as bleaching, calendaring, embossing, glazing, dyeing, and printing are covered, with an emphasis on performance, sustainability, and market applications. Eco-friendly dyeing and printing methods are introduced to align with contemporary fashion practices.

Learners develop the ability to evaluate fabrics based on durability, aesthetics, sustainability, and the target market.

Fashion Management, Media & PR

This module prepares students for the professional and public-facing side of fashion. Topics include media relations, public relations, advertising agencies, stress management, self-presentation, and personal branding.

Students learn how designers and brands interact with media, influencers, and audiences during launches, shows, and campaigns.

Key skills developed:

• Media and PR communication

• Personal branding and presentation

• Stress and time management

• Professional conduct in high-pressure environments

Merchandising, Costing & Quality Assurance

This block gives students a business-level understanding of fashion production and retail. Topics include product definition files, merchandise timing, sourcing, obsolescence, costing, forecasting, inspection, and documentation.

Students understand how collections move from concept to market, balancing creativity with pricing, quality, and demand forecasting.

Key merchandising capabilities you develop:

• Assortment planning and sourcing

• Costing and forecasting

• Market analysis and pre-buying

• Quality control and documentation

• Production and process flow understanding

Duration, Fees & Return on Investment

This is a 1-year full-time post graduate program in fashion design, followed by a mandatory 1-month internship. PG fashion programs typically fall into a higher fee band due to advanced labs, smaller cohorts, and intensive mentoring.

The return on investment lies in faster career progression, senior roles, and entrepreneurial opportunities rather than entry-level placement alone.

Progression & Higher Studies

After completing this PG program, learners can progress into senior design, merchandising, or brand roles, scale their own labels, or pursue advanced Master's or international specialised programs.

The course functions as both a terminal professional qualification and a stepping stone toward global fashion education pathways.
