SOFT was established in the late ’90s, in collaboration with National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), exclusively for women. They currently offer two categories of learning: one in international collaboration with the Accademia Costume & Moda, Rome; and the other in affiliation with SNDT Women’s University, Mumbai. The former category gives students ‘industry integrated courses with international exposure’ in Fashion Design (3-year), Fashion Brand Design and Technology, and Fashion Buying and Merchandising (both 2-year courses). The latter category offers 4-year Bachelor Design courses in Fashion Design, Fashion Communication, Textile Design, and Jewellery Design. They’re a well-reputed institution, with associations and collaborations in the international fashion world that can take your career far, as well as an illustrious list of ‘star alumni’.
