B.Des in Fashion Design

The B.Des in Fashion Design at WUD prepares students to thrive across the spectrum of fashion — from haute couture and ready-to-wear to sustainable and digital fashion markets. With India emerging as one of the world’s largest fashion economies, the program equips students with the creativity, technical mastery, and professional skills to succeed in this fast-evolving industry.
Students learn the fundamentals of apparel design, design process, draping, patternmaking, sewing, and garment construction, while also mastering computer-aided design (CAD), CLO3D, digital prototyping, and virtual fashion presentation. The program encourages research and innovation, exposing students to sustainable textiles, circular design, and fashion entrepreneurship. Each stage builds from initial design ideas through to finished prototypes and runway presentations, supported by portfolio development, internships, and opportunities for international exchange.
Taught by experienced faculty and mentored by industry leaders, students graduate with both a strong creative vision and practical readiness for the fashion world.

Career Outcomes: Fashion Designer, Sustainable Fashion Specialist, Digital Fashion Creator, Fashion Illustrator, Trend Forecaster, Textile & Surface Designer, Accessory Designer, Fashion Entrepreneur, Brand Strategist. Graduates secure roles with leading fashion houses, global brands, and emerging labels, or launch successful independent ventures.
