Where a length of fabric
becomes a career.
Irisz Fashion Institute's Chennai campus trains designers, boutique owners and stylists through hands-on pattern making, draping, embroidery and garment construction — taught by working professionals, minutes from Nerkundram.
VGP Amudha Nagar
Nerkundram, Chennai – 600 107
Mon–Sat · 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM
A Chennai institute built around the sewing table, not the seminar hall.
Irisz Fashion Institute's Chennai branch has spent the last decade turning sartorial curiosity into professional skill — combining classroom fundamentals with time at the cutting table, the embroidery frame and the draping mannequin.
Every batch works alongside faculty who run their own labels and boutiques across the city, so what's taught on Monday is often what they practised over the weekend. Students graduate having built a portfolio, not just attended a syllabus.
Built for how Chennai's fashion learners actually study.
Trainer-led studio sessions, self-paced e-learning, or a blend of both — the Chennai campus keeps three ways to learn open at once, so the course fits your week rather than the other way round.
In-Person Training
Small batches at the Nerkundram campus with direct time on machines, mannequins and embroidery frames.
Self-Paced Learning
Study material and demonstrations you can revisit at your own speed alongside work or college.
Best of Both
Attend the sessions that matter most in person, catch up on the rest online — no course is missed.
Industry Bridge
Placement support and internship leads with Chennai boutiques and national fashion labels.

Reviews from the Chennai campus.
A genuinely excellent place to learn fashion design — the illustration, styling, pattern-making and aari classes are taught with real care.
I joined the one-year diploma and every technique — illustration, pattern making, garment construction — is covered thoroughly by attentive faculty.
I compared institutes across Chennai before joining IFI for pattern making and embroidery — it was the clear choice for hands-on learning.
