Fashion Design and Fashion Communication students explore Jaipur’s Craft Heritage

Second-year students of the Fashion Design and Fashion Communication department embarked on an enriching outstation trip to Jaipur, where they delved into the vibrant world of traditional crafts and cultural heritage. Students visited the renowned Anokhi Museum and the captivating Wabi Sabi in Bagru.

The purpose of the visit was to explore the various crafts of Jaipur and to deeply understand and appreciate the artistry involved.

This trip served as a stepping stone to their larger craft trip. It aimed to demonstrate to students how communities unite and cooperate, with a focus on crafts like Dabu printing, Jajam and Indigo dyeing (Bagru), all of which have a unique identity and GI (geographical indication) of their origin. Students were encouraged to see clothing and architecture as interconnected elements rather than separate entities.
