Abstract

Fashion theory and practices are built on an academic foundation where history, anthropology, sociology, psychology and economics intermingle to shed light on clothing as one of the three most essential needs of the human race. It is a visual indicator of the cultural identity of a country.

Fashion is a dynamic force which influences lifestyle choices made by consumers. It drives international trends in a multitude of areas from apparel, accessories, automobiles, cuisine, wellness, vacations and more. Glamour notwithstanding, fashion is a serious global business with high financial stakes. The increasing references to Indian textiles, clothing and culture on international fashion scenario are indicative of India being centre-stage on the global fashion map.

The current educational environment provides students with a wide range of subjects that are informative and also encourages individual aptitude. Many want to pursue non-traditional careers where creativity, problem-solving and business acumen integrate into an exciting combination.

Fashion Studies introduced by CBSE at the 10+2 level as an elective academic subject, points in the direction of fashion as a creative and challenging career. Fashion Studies offers insight into the components and processes of design, manufacturing, marketing in apparel and textiles. It encompasses the process from fibre to fabric, from concept to creation of garments. It provides an overview of fashion, an understanding of fabrics and surface techniques, design fundamentals and elements of garment-making.

Fashion Studies as a subject is envisaged to help students to make an informed decision about their future goals.
