Forget textbooks and endless theory. Learn the craft of fashion design and boutique management the way it actually happens: in the studio, at the fabric market, and on the shop floor.

Aari embroidery is a cornerstone of ethnic wear. I love taking my students to our embroidery unit for a hands-on workshop, where they can try the techniques themselves and understand the skill that goes into each intricate design.

A successful design starts with the right fabric. During our sourcing field trips, I guide my students through the process of quality assessment, price negotiation, and building relationships with suppliers.

There's a whole world to discover in fabric stores. Here, my students are learning to identify different textiles, from silks to organzas, and understanding how each fabric drapes and feels.

My classroom is an interactive space. Here, I am breaking down the fundamentals of boutique management, sharing personal experiences and practical tips that you won't find in a textbook.

I see myself as an 'akka' or elder sister to my students. My goal is to create a warm, supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable asking questions and sharing their creative ideas.

Theory is important, but it has to be practical. In this session, we are discussing the business side of fashion, covering everything from pricing strategies to client management for a successful boutique launch.
