New Beginnings on the Runway – Meet the Freshers at IIFD

The runway is not just a stage, it's a statement. It’s where creativity meets confidence, where imagination takes form, and where every designer begins their journey. At IIFD – Indian Institute of Fashion & Design, the new academic session isn’t just about orientation or classes. It’s about introducing a new wave of talent ready to shape the future of fashion.

This season, we proudly welcome our freshers, a vibrant and passionate group stepping into the world of fashion and textile design for the first time.

A Grand Welcome to the Future of Fashion

The start of a new academic year at IIFD is always filled with excitement and energy. This year, the spirit was no different. From colorful fresher’s day celebrations to insightful industry interactions, the campus has been buzzing with new ideas and fresh talent.

Our newcomers bring with them diverse backgrounds, bold aspirations, and a shared dream to make a mark in the fashion world. And IIFD offers the perfect environment for them to turn that dream into reality.

Fashion Meets Fresh Perspective

What makes IIFD’s freshers stand out is their hunger to explore beyond the textbook. Whether it’s experimenting with silhouettes, playing with color theory, or trying their hand at embroidery and draping, they are already showing signs of original creativity.

Many freshers have already started participating in student-led design challenges, collaborative projects, and workshops. From sketchbooks filled with ideas to fabric samples pinned on mood boards, their early work reflects a raw yet promising aesthetic.

Learning from the Ground Up

The best fashion design college in India, IIFD - Indian Institute of Fashion and Design, believes that solid foundations lead to successful careers. That’s why our freshers begin their journey with exposure to core skills such as:

• Fashion sketching and visual communication

• Basic textile science and fabric knowledge

• Pattern making and garment construction

• Design thinking and inspiration boards

This early immersion allows students to understand the process of fashion—from concept to creation.

Freshers on the Runway: A Glimpse into the Future

IIFD’s tradition of spotlighting talent early continues with our ‘Freshers Showcase’, a unique platform where first-year students present their initial designs and creative mood boards. It’s their first step onto the runway, not just as observers but as emerging creators.

The showcase is more than just an event, it’s a celebration of new beginnings, of creative minds coming together to dream, design, and dazzle.

Guided by Mentors, Inspired by Passion

Freshers at IIFD are nurtured through expert mentorship, interactive sessions with faculty, and guidance from alumni who have carved successful paths in the fashion industry. They are taught not just to follow trends but to understand the story behind every design.

In a world where fashion is ever-evolving, our freshers are encouraged to be adaptable, bold, and true to their personal design language.

The Journey Has Just Begun

As we witness these young minds take their first steps into fashion, one thing is certain, the runway is now richer with new dreams, fresh energy, and limitless possibilities.

At IIFD, we don't just teach fashion, we shape the designers of tomorrow.
