“What a beautiful dress Aunty! Great embroidery” Anamika just couldn’t take her mind off the dress she saw last night on her friend Pareeniti’s Mother in a party. Enthralled by curiosity, she couldn’t resist and called Pareeniti to know from where her Mom bought it, the reply to which she least expected. “I designed the dress! You liked it?” “How did you?” “Girl I am fashion designer now…” One couldn’t have envisaged a ‘Pareeniti’ few years ago. Almost all of us appreciate and have our eyes glued on good designer apparels but a career in the same was always thought-over as niche and a bit uncertain. Youngsters then, opting to get into fashion industry were seen as ‘Bird-brained Outlier’ from the conventions of Doctors, Engineers, but not anymore. Today, a career in fashion technology has become one of the most exciting and lucrative choices among creative youngsters who want to see themselves no less than the Manish Malhotras & Ritu beris of the future, and what a better way to certain yourself then a course in fashion technology!
