What is Fashion Technology
‘Fashion’ and ‘Technology’, these are the terms that everyone is aware of. Even a lay man can differentiate and define both Fashion and Technology separately. But what about ‘Fashion Technology’? ‘Fashion Technology’ is the term I came across first when I had decided to enroll in a course by the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), New Delhi. My perception about the term - ‘Fashion Technology’ before joining the college and after I joined it was totally different , but still I had no idea what it is gonna be in real.
I always thought what relation do Fashion and Technology have. I burned a lot of the precious fuel in my head but couldn’t find out any answer that could not satisfy my quest. But after the Induction Program and a series of seminars I started to get a bit of the thing. I started with the understanding that what ever is thought to make in fashion requires some or other form of technology to convert it into a tangible form. That is where technology comes in with fashion i.e when you require to convert the idea into an object.
