Apparel Design and Testing


Overview

The Apparel Design and Testing research group focuses on creativity and systematic innovation. This is done in the production of textile fibres, yarns, fabrics, apparel manufacturing, fashionable clothing and need-based clothing for special categories such as power, vulnerable, space, defense, etc. Systematic innovation is also brought in fabric manufacturing; including woven, knitted, nonwovens, technical textiles, medical textiles, geo-textiles and intelligent textiles. Dyeing with natural dyes, tie and dye and batik with different designs, printing, surface embellishments and embroidery are also studied. We are also working on skill based and entrepreneurial activities, boutique management, fashion promotion, and event management with quick response to meet the customer and industrial demands of the present day.
