Nowadays, the Indian fashion and design industry is still at its infancy. A report on Indian Fashion Industry recently stated that this Industry can increase from its net worth of Rs 200 crore to Rs 1,000 crore in the next five to ten years. Designing, as a profession is growing in popularity at Indian universities, and scores of design firms have sprung up across the country. There is a tremendous scope and significant need for good design in the country, which consists of a few design schools and a handful of design studios catering to the growing demand. However, international developments like fashion weeks, annual shows by fashion designers held in major cities, uphold the great potential for fashion and design in the country.

Given the rich and varied textile heritage and extremely creative minds of people, the country is not very far from becoming the beacon of hope for many in the fashion and design space. The Indian fashion industry is currently estimated to be worth Rs.720 crore. However, as estimated by experts, the industry will increase multifold in the coming five years. Its versatility and reach from local to global is significant of globalization in the segment. The acceptance of style and designs also signify the matured audience whose acceptance of style is evolving every moment. To cater to this audience, Istituto Marangoni has right set of tools to train the interested students and enable them to make the mark on the world stage with their creations.
