FASHION DESIGN
The fashion design program at NCA aims at finding its significant value in the dynamics of costume, fashion and textile heritage of our region. The Fashion Design undergraduate program is allied to tailor student’s unique creative impulse to create fashion, attires and lifestyle. By nurturing individual creativity and critical thinking, we prepare our students to become visionary designers who contribute to the evolving landscape of fashion.

The courses introduce students to exemplary traditional apparel styles, contemporary design tools, fabrication methods and garment construction techniques essential for developing cohesive design solutions. The curriculum integrates tailoring, styling, history, sociology, cultural studies, design research, drawing, pattern, sewing, draping and interdisciplinary courses to empower students to see their craft for a more meaningful participation in the future of apparel industry and costume designing. In addition, emphasizing South Asian craftsmanship and costumes, the program inspires students to create fashion that combines historical depth with contemporary sensibilities, resonating on a global scale.

The program exposes students to the latest trendsetting work through seminars, discussions, internships, field visits and lectures, offering them opportunities to make valuable career connections. The program aims to cultivate young designers who are culturally and traditionally aware, preparing them to be competitive contributors to the fashion industry’s growth and sustainability.
