Acknowledgement
`Asato ma sadgamaya, Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya, Mrtyormaamrtamgamaya’`Lead me
from the asat(lie) to the sat (truth), Lead me from darkness to light, Lead me from death
to immortality.’
Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge and arts, represents the free flow of wisdom and
consciousness. My first acknowledgement is to her blessings. To attain excellence, it is
important that knowledge sharing shall be carried out with best possible methodology so that
quest for knowledge can be achieved. This is the biggest challenge to the human society and to
the institution in particular as they are the torch bearer for disseminating the knowledge. Project
`Saraswati’ has been envisaged with the dream of attaining excellence in delivery of training by
employing best practices in the field of knowledge sharing.
FDDI as an institution has been pioneer in development of ‘Swayam Siddha’ self-paced
knowledge& skill set based learning materials for the footwear, fashion and retail sector. This
manual represents an extended and thoroughly revised version of notes on Fashion Design
which are collected from books, journals, internet, and other standard publications.
These manual are primary source of learning and still relevant for delivery of the training.
Project Saraswati is the next logical step in the augmentation of the knowledge domain. It
focuses on standardization of learning material, training delivery, assessment system and
validation system so that knowledge reaches with same light and equal opportunity of learning
is available to all.
FDDI firmly believe that for the attainment of goal, team work is an essential part, while
preparing this manuscript there are many individuals whose names may not appear on this
page but their contribution had been immense as far as development of this learning material is
concerned. The management of FDDI acknowledges contribution of each and every person

&for providing critical inputs at the time when it was needed the most.
