Designing

IITC Mumbai Fashion Designing & Interior Designing students visited Junoon, hosted by Jiyo, an array of individualistic designs at Grand Hyatt, Mumbai. Coming to the city for the first time was the largest bazaar for handmade products, featuring deeply rooted traditional age old art form designs fused with contemporary innovations. From grass furniture to leather lamps, modular wall ties to tribal papier mache, silk ikats to cotton brocades.

Artisans from six states displayed products that were aesthetically manufactured, items from the world of slow fashion, forest foods and bespoke designs that are created and owned by the self-empowered communities of India’s red corridor — Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

An array of individualistic and vibrant designs such as earth totems as incense burners, silk ikats, nature accessories, design-oriented modular wall tiles, cotton brocades, grass furniture, tribal papier mache, asymmetric needle-work, leather lamps, forest food products and much more! Essentially, it was much more than a marketplace - it was an exuberant confluence of conversations, performances and experiential exhibits. From inherited traditions, handmade-machine made, local to global, the magic of making-doing-being and everything in between, it upholds every aesthetic and craft.

IITCians felt this was indeed a festival that celebrates what Village India can Make and Do for the world.

IITC has been innovative & competitive in updating its Fashion Designing Course since last 3 decades. The new course curriculum in addition to regular Fashion Designing topics includes Industrial visits, Garment exports, Fashion Accessory Designing, Textile Designing and host of other topics that enables a Fashion Designing student to have an edge in the competitive industry.

Recently one more batch of Fashion designing students from IITC visited a Mens Shirt unit, Ladies Kurti manufacturing and Machine embroidery unit as a part of Industrial visit training. The students learnt the different stages of a garment right from a design on paper (illustration) to production and packaging. This is just the beginning for the emerging fashion designers. Many more visits planned for the students.

For the past 10+ years, they have been making their expertise in engineering and manufacturing high-quality & high-end mattress for star hotels, hospitals and even the Indian Navy mattresses with natural materials, and innovative technology to ensure better sleep.

This was one of its kind units where students got the opportunity to see & learn in detail the steps involved in manufacturing scientifically designed & ergonomically developed Mattresses for body soothing, back care for people suffering from problems like spondylitis, arthritis, back-aches, and a billion other health hazards.
