Institutions renowned for their fashion programs provide critical exposure to technical skills like pattern making, draping, and color theory and the opportunity to connect with like-minded peers, mentors, and alumni networks.
The internet is also the best place to network and learn more about global trends in disciplines like finance, information technology (IT), digital marketing , e-commerce retail, and the like, so you should also look for mentors and peers who can enrich your professional life and make your effort to upskill worth it.
