Student Voices

Hear It From Our Designers

I came in after 12th with zero idea how fashion actually worked. Four years later I presented my own collection at our fashion show — and three days after graduation I got a call from a Mumbai-based label. DIA didn't just teach me to design. It made me believe I was one.

Priya Sharma

B.Des Fashion Design · Batch 2023

Now: Junior Designer at a leading Mumbai label

The studio culture at IMS DIA is what sets it apart. You're always making things — not just listening. My pattern-making skills in Year 2 were already better than what most people get after graduation elsewhere. The internship in Year 3 turned into a full-time offer.

Nandita Krishnan

B.Des Fashion Design · Batch 2022

Now: Garment Tech at an export house

My parents were nervous about a design degree — they wanted something "safe." Today I run my own small label and consult for two brands. DIA gave me the skills, the contacts and — honestly — the guts to back myself. Best decision I ever made after 12th.
