2.  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.

3.  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.

7.  How do exchange programmes help students?
Exchange programmes whether between two colleges of the same country or different countries is a very healthy way of making students understand the cultures, traditions and crafts of the other.
