A creative and dynamic department, costume & fashion Designing emerged in the Year 2015 to teach the art of storytelling through clothing. Fashion is an integral part of our lives, reflecting our moods, culture and environment. It is a multi-billion-dollar global enterprise that employs millions of people nationally and internationally in the design, manufacture, distribution, marketing, advertising and retailing of textiles, apparel, costumes and accessories.

The goal of the Fashion Program in Nirmala is to provide students with technical and career skills that allow them to enter the fashion industry with a balance of knowledge, theory, and practical training. We strive to provide students with quality instruction, utilizing current technology and equipment, and relevant curriculum. Much of the emphasis of the program is on active student learning and participation in class and campus activities that involve leadership and planning.
