Benefits of Pursuing Fashion Course from iLEAD

Did you hear about the phrase ‘Sustainable Fashion’? Are you aware that in the present world wherein everything is demanding a sustainable approach, even the fashion and garment industry is soon going to take the same route? 5 years from now the world would want not only creative but also sustainable fashion designers.

The garment industry currently contributes to almost 10% of the total carbon gas emissions in the world. It is regarded as the 2^nd most polluting industry across the globe. As much as it is wasting the natural resources like excessive use of water (it takes 20,000 liters of water to make one pair of jeans and T-shirt), it is also not aware enough about ‘circular fashion’.

Talking about the course, Aloke Kumar Singh, Creative Director and Co-Founder of ESEDS School of Design said, “We teach them to create an individual style but work in a team. Motivate them to dream big and achieve it. We prepare the students in a way that makes them achieve their goal on their own. The quality is so high that we have never been needed to work on their placements or internships. Those have happened on their own.”

If you are not confident about your drawing skills, then also you need not worry. ESEDS iLEAD needs you to have just understandable illustrations skills. “It is not required that students need to be absolute artists when it comes to drawing. If they can, it’s a plus point. If they can’t, they can adapt their own style of illustration. The kind of illustration that is understandable. They need to make people understand the garment, the design. And that’s about it. We encourage our students to create anything that is wearable or unwearable because there’s a customer out there for every kind of design. They just need to innovate, explore and execute their designs in an understandable way”, said Aloke Kumar Singh.
