Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], September 9: In a remarkable collaboration between academia and industry, students from Ignite India Education have gained invaluable hands-on experience while working on industrial projects for W.T.F - Witnessing True Fashion. The brand, which is rapidly rising in the fashion industry, recently hit a significant milestone of achieving Rs 1 Crore in GMV (Gross Merchandise Value) within just three months of its official launch. This partnership offered Ignite India Education students a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world application. Under the mentorship of industry experts at W.T.F, the students were able to contribute directly to a fashion brand that embodies a bold, innovative spirit. W.T.F focuses on creating cutting-edge, sustainable streetwear for modern consumers, blending creativity with environmental consciousness. The Collaboration: A Win-Win The collaboration between W.T.F and Ignite India Education is a clear example of how academia and industry can work together for mutual benefit. For the students, the project was more than an academic exercise; it was a chance to immerse themselves in every step of the fashion production process. From researching the latest fashion trends and designing sketches to working with materials and participating in product development, the students gained firsthand experience of the fashion industry's demands. Kumud Suman, Co-founder of W.T.F, was highly appreciative of the students' efforts and contributions. "The fresh perspectives brought by these talented students added tremendous value to our design process," he said. "Their creativity and hard work played a significant role in helping us meet the demands of the modern fashion market, which is as competitive as it is fast-paced." The students' involvement directly contributed to the success of W.T.F's latest collection, making them a vital part of the brand's journey to success. Real-World Learning Experience For the students of Ignite India Education, this collaboration provided invaluable insights into the real-world challenges faced by fashion designers and businesses.

These hands-on experiences allow them to apply what they have learned and prepare them for the demands of the fashion industry. It's a learning-by-doing approach that we strongly believe in, as it equips them with the tools to succeed in their professional careers." The experience also allowed students to observe how creativity can coexist with the business and commercial aspects of fashion. Working closely with W.T.F's design team, they learned how to balance aesthetics with functionality and sustainability. They gained exposure to the technical aspects of fabric selection, manufacturing constraints, and the intricacies of managing a fashion supply chain.
