At Dhruva College of Design & Graduate Studies, we don’t teach fashion, we take students directly into the heart of the industry. Our recent visit to Shahi Exports, India’s largest apparel manufacturer, gave our fashion design students a rare, inside look at how the fashion world operates at scale.

Stepping into the Future of Fashion

Our students walked through Shahi Exports state-of-the-art production floors, where they saw fashion come to life from initial sketches to finished garments. The visit opened their eyes to how global trends turn into real collections.

They explored:

• Trend Forecasting: Students saw how experts predict styles and colors that shape entire seasons.
• Textile Innovation: They examined sustainable fabrics and cutting-edge material technology.
• Automated Manufacturing: Students watched modern machinery in action, from fabric cutting to precision stitching.

Learning from Industry Experts

Throughout the visit, Shahi Exports team welcomed our students with real-time insights and guidance. Students asked questions, took notes, and soaked up advice from professionals who shape India’s fashion exports every day. This hands-on experience helped students connect their classroom learning to the fast-paced demands of the fashion world.

Preparing Future Designers for Real-World Impact

At Dhruva College of Design & Graduate Studies, we prepare students to lead the design. Visits like this give them more than inspiration, they gain practical skills, industry exposure, and confidence. We continue to build strong partnerships with top manufacturers and designers to ensure our students graduate with both knowledge and real-world experience.

Conclusion:

Our fashion students stepped into the real world of apparel manufacturing and came away with practical insights, fresh inspiration, and a deeper understanding of the fashion industry. They didn’t watch, they asked, explored, and connected with the professionals shaping India’s global fashion presence. At Dhruva College of Design & Graduate Studies, we design every experience to prepare students for success. We connect them with industry leaders, expose them to cutting-edge practices, and push them to apply what they learn in real-world settings. By taking learning beyond the classroom, we equip our students to lead, innovate, and thrive in the fast-moving world.
