Any
activity related to Fashion is a very lucrative
business. People who can visualize the fashion
trends can manage the business. Further, the
survival and growth of any Fashion
Industry depends on the ability of their Fashion
Technologist. The Fashion Technologist should
have qualities like artistic creativity, colour sense,
imagination, ability to express or present ideas / concepts
through drawing and sketches.
The role of the Fashion Industry
is to manufacture of clothing and accessories on a commercial
viable basis. As the labour costs have increased three
fold in Europe, factories have been forced to invest
in new technology and highly optimized machines in order
to remain competitive.
In recent years, lower production costs offered by clothing
factories in Hong Kong, India and Malaysia
have led to a considerable number of European companies
transferring their manufacturing abroad.
India, which has always been a center for the textile
and garment trade, is also growing into a center
of innovation in garment and accessory design. Indian
Ready Made Garment export value has now reached to Rs.
20,000 Crores.
