IMC Fashion Design

Integrated Management College (IMC), established in 2007, is a group college under the IMI (International Maritime Institute) umbrella which came into being in 1991 as a painstaking effort of 12 eminent professionals from the maritime fraternity. The Institute has achieved unparalleled success in its sphere and is now among the top 3 private training institutes of the country. IMI enjoys links with a host of international and national shipping companies and has a 100% placement record of its cadets. About 3000 students have successfully graduated from IMI’s various programmes which range from 1 yr to 4 yrs in duration.

The group has 2 campuses and a combined area of about 8 acres located in the verdant ambience of Greater Noida’s knowledge park to provide for a conducive learning environment. They are currently in the process of developing a new campus in the heart of DELHI.

The Fashion Industry in India presents an exciting opportunity as well as a challenge; all because of the ever growing Indian population. The industry can be divided into 2 segments:

High Fashion/Couture: With big brand names like Louis Vuitton, Versace, Gucci, Chanel etc entering the Indian market, there is a severe shortage of professionals to cater to the business needs of this segment i.e. people who can manage and operate there stores and businesses in India.

Further, a lot of Indian designers have now started making a mark both in the domestic and international markets with 4 fashion weeks happening every year adding to India’s repertoire. This alone has led to a spurt in the demand for designers, merchandisers, fabricators etc.

Pret Fashion: India’s ever growing population, specially the middle class with increasing disposable income i.e. spending power, is leading to a spurt in the demand for fashionable/yet affordable clothing. This in turn is leading to domestic players aggressively expanding their production and distribution capacities.

Needles to say, there is dire shortage of qualified professionals even in the domestic market and the need of the hour is for students to go in for courses that give them a wholistic understanding of fashion in all its complexities. The IMC School of Design provides a complete and thorough “Fashion Experience”, wherein we will start from the basic concept phase to final execution and even selling phases.

Our unique integrated programme: Advanced Diploma in Fashion & Technology (ADIFT) combined with a BSc in Fashion Design degree provides students of fashion a best of both worlds. Our Diploma gives us enough flexibility to change the structure and delivery of the programme as per the ever changing industry standards and at the same time students have the benefit of being awarded with a degree in fashion as well.
