What is craft
documentation?
Craft documentation is part of the fashion design course at
FDDI. It is an interesting mode of learning for students whereby they travel to
different parts of the country, stay with the local craftsmen and learn about
their traditional art and crafts. This helps them connect with the local
people, understand various traditional patterns and also gives them a fair idea
about the various fabrics, textures, coloursetcof that region.

Does one need a degree in
footwear to design shoes?
It is only through a formal degree and proper training that
one can achieve success in any field. Unless one has the knowledge and skills
like cutting, stitching, footwear constructions, finishing, shoe technology and
much more, how can one expect to make a career in Footwear Design? Training for
specialization is a must in every field and also in footwear designing.

programmes whether between two colleges of the same country or different
