Welcome to IFI Chennai

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.

"Many of our graduates now run their own boutiques and design labels across Chennai — that's the outcome we build every course around." — Proprietor, Irisz Fashion Institute, Chennai
Why Choose IFI
