Making the invisible visible
We hold the conviction that the most significant breakthroughs and innovations reside in the domain of the unseen: the realms just outside the scope of traditional thinking.
KIDAT, the Kenstone Institute of Design & Technology, teaches fashion design in Shivamogga. The approach is cross-disciplinary. Design, technology and wider learning sit in the same room, and students are expected to look past the usual limits of a subject.
Fashion is a multibillion-dollar industry. The school exists to give students the knowledge and the hand skills to work in it.
