How Many Years of School do you need to be a Fashion Designer?

One of the often-asked questions regarding a fashion designing course is what are the eligibility criteria? Since fashion designing is seen as a vocational course, one which is not taken by everyone, general knowledge about these courses is sparse. If you are planning to do a graduate-level program in fashion designing, you will need to have 10+2 years of education. For a post-graduate course, an additional 3 years of graduation is necessary. At the International College of Fashion (ICF), we offer various programs tailor-made to meet the varying requirements of the students. We have undergraduate courses as well as post-graduate and diploma courses on offer. All our courses are designed to help strengthen your foundation in fashion design as well as to equip you with the economics of the industry. We also offer students hands-on experience from the industry through industry-integrated experiential learning.
