B. D. Somani Institute of Art & Fashion

Technology - India’s Premium Design

School celebrates 18 stylish years of

Innovative Fashion.

Along with strong academics, our focus

has been on industrial interaction through

guest seminars, technical & creative

demonstrations and industrial visits.

The Pearson BTEC HND &

HNC certification

from (Pearson UK) has extended our quality

vocational education to meet International

Standards with Global Recognition.

Our Dynamic Alumni has successfully

marked their creative niche. They are

spearheading many creative mega-brands,

designer labels and Retail giants. Our talent

has been contributing to India's best

Tarun Tahiliani, Manish Malhotra,

Sabyasaachi, Rocky S., Vikram Phadnis,

Neeta Lulla, Alok Industries, Mandhana

Industries, Creative Garments,

Future Group, Pantaloons, Shoppers Stop,

Westside, Balaji Film, UTV production,

Star TV to name few. Besides participating

in the Hong Kong World Boutique,

along with Mega Trade Fairs like CMAI,

In Fashion, Indzyn etc.

The Institute has proved its mettle in the

highly competitive world of professional

education. However, there still remains

a vast gap, between the standards of

competence we’ve attained, and the levels

of excellence we’ve set for ourselves...

A gap we hope to close, by drawing on

the experience and expertise of an Advisory

& Mentor Board comprising of outstanding

industry professionals, under whose

guidance and direction, the Institute

can grow in stature and relevance

to the industry needs and become

a reservoir of trained manpower

that the industry can readily draw on.
