Nidhi Yadav of Axis Colleges Bags Prestigious Placement with Vijaybhai Patolwala
Axis Colleges is thrilled to announce the remarkable achievement of Nidhi Yadav, a creative and hardworking BFAD (Bachelor of Fashion and Apparel Design) student from the Axis Institute of Fashion Technology, who has successfully secured an exciting opportunity with Vijaybhai Patolwala, a renowned name in the traditional textile and saree design industry, especially known for the heritage-rich Patola weaving of Gujarat.
Vijaybhai Patolwala is celebrated for preserving the age-old art of Patola weaving, a complex and exquisite double ikat technique that involves meticulous craftsmanship and vibrant aesthetics. Being selected to work with such a culturally significant and artistic brand is not only a great honor for Nidhi, but also a significant step toward deepening her roots in Indian traditional textiles while advancing her professional career.
Throughout her academic journey at Axis Institute of Fashion Technology, Nidhi displayed a strong passion for textiles, traditional crafts, and sustainable design practices. Her design projects often reflected a blend of modern sensibilities with cultural heritage. She showed excellence in fabric detailing, surface ornamentation, and weaving techniques. Her participation in textile workshops, craft exhibitions, and industry visits further enriched her understanding of Indian crafts and their global appeal.
With this opportunity, Nidhi will work closely with master artisans and gain hands-on experience in the intricate process of Patola weaving—from yarn dyeing and warping to design creation and finishing. This placement will not only enhance her technical knowledge but also offer her an in-depth understanding of heritage textile conservation, ethical fashion, and handloom revival movements, all of which are gaining relevance in the global fashion industry today.
Axis Colleges is deeply committed to promoting industry-relevant education while nurturing an appreciation for traditional Indian arts. The institution consistently encourages students to explore both modern fashion and indigenous craft forms, ensuring a well-rounded and versatile design education.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Nidhi Yadav on this commendable achievement. Her success stands as a shining example of dedication, skill, and cultural appreciation. We are confident that her journey with Vijaybhai Patolwala will not only be professionally enriching but also creatively inspiring. Axis Colleges wishes her all the best for a bright and successful future in the fashion industry.
