Explore how AAFT Noida's B.Sc. in Fashion Communication & Styling equips students with industry-relevant skills through hands-on experience and mentorship.

A good fashion styling course in India should do one thing above all: connect your talent to the real industry. At AAFT Noida, students learn styling, branding, and fashion media, working with real brands and media houses before they graduate.

Fashion is not only about making clothes; it is also about how clothes are styled, shown, and sold. This is the world of fashion communication and styling. Alongside a fashion designing course, this path prepares you for fashion media, brands, and marketing.

The B.Sc in Fashion Communication and Styling Course is taught on the AAFT Noida campus in Noida Film City. Admissions for the 2026 batch are now open.

Is Fashion Communication a Good Career in India?

Yes. Fashion media, digital content, and e-commerce are all growing fast. Brands need people who can style, communicate, and sell fashion, making a fashion communication course a strong and modern choice.

A few figures show the scale:

● India's textile and apparel market is set to reach about US$350 billion by 2030 (Invest India).

● Fashion e-commerce and social media keep growing, leading brands to hire more stylists and content creators every year (FICCI-EY).

● More than 80% of fashion recruiters value a strong portfolio and real experience over theory (industry surveys).

How Does AAFT Noida Connect You to the Industry?

AAFT Noida is built to link students with the fashion industry through various clear methods. This is why AAFT is seen as one of the best fashion communication colleges in India. The course serves as a bridge, not just a classroom.

What Degree Will You Earn?

AAFT Noida offers full degrees, not short courses. You graduate with a real qualification and a portfolio. The B.Sc in Fashion Communication and Styling is a comprehensive three-year program after 12th grade, open to students from any stream.

You can explore the full B.Sc in Fashion Communication and Styling course structure before applying. Eligibility requires a 10+2 pass with 50% marks (45% for reserved categories), and admission is through the AAFT Global Entrance Test (GET).

What Will You Learn?

This fashion designing course covers the creative and media aspects of fashion. You learn fashion styling, branding, and creative communication, alongside fashion media, visual merchandising, fashion photography, and art direction. Digital content and social media are integral to the training.

You build these skills through real projects, shoots, and campaigns, using design tools like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Thus, you graduate with a portfolio, not just notes.

What Is the In-House Global Fashion Week?

The In-House Global Fashion Week is the highlight of the year, run on campus like a real fashion week. Fashion communication and styling students play a key role, handling styling, visual communication, show planning, and media coordination.

Students work to real timelines and meet designers, media, and industry leaders, gaining real event and media experience before entering the industry.

What Jobs and Salary Can You Expect?

Yes, this field opens many creative careers. Pay grows with your portfolio and skills. Junior roles usually start around ₹3 to 5 LPA, rising to ₹6 to 10 LPA with experience, and higher for senior stylists and brand leads. These are industry estimates, not figures promised by AAFT Noida.

Who Teaches at the School of Fashion Design?

The Industry Dean is Rina Dhaka, one of India's most iconic fashion designers, known for blending Indian craft with modern design and her work in ethical fashion. Her mentorship provides students with masterclasses and portfolio reviews.

Dr. Siva Ganesh Babu, Dean, is a textile chemist and sustainable fashion expert with over 22 years of experience in fashion education and industry.

They are supported by faculty who work in fashion media, styling, and branding:

Ankur Bagai — senior photographer with a decade in fashion photography, journalism, and visual content.

Ms. Kritika Bajaj — fashion branding and digital storytelling specialist with campaign and styling experience.

Ms. Vibha Kapoor — image and style consultant with 15+ years in grooming and personal styling.

Ms. Manvi Kapoor — makeup and styling educator training students for editorial and fashion shoots.

In Their Own Words

Mohit Marwah, Co-Founder, AAFT Noida, said: “Fashion needs more than designers. It needs people who can tell a brand's story, style a shoot, and reach an audience. That is what our fashion communication students learn to do. They work on real campaigns, style real shows, and build a real portfolio before they leave. This is how we connect young talent to the industry, and it is what we are proud of.”

Placements and Industry Connect

A dedicated Career Resource Cell works with students from the start, linking them to fashion brands, styling houses, media companies, marketing agencies, and OTT content teams. Students also build industry contacts through the Global Fashion Week and live projects.

The 37,000+ alumni network spans fashion, media, and creative brands across India and abroad. For students comparing a fashion communication and styling course, that mix of a real runway, media mentors, and a wide brand network is hard to match.
