Hi everyone,

The Masters programme in fashion at the fashion institute of technology is highly regarded for its industry oriented curriculum and global exposure, making it ideal for Indian students aing to excel in fashion management technology or design. FIT provides advance learning in areas like sustainability, branding and production. The course posters creative and technical skills with access to world class facilities and networking opportunities.
