Fashion Design for International Markets: Delight’s Training
Fashion Design for International Markets: Delight’s Training
Fashion is a global language—and designers in Kenya are increasingly stepping onto the world stage. With African-inspired styles gracing international runways and social media platforms, there’s never been a better time for creatives to pursue fashion design with a global focus.
At Delight Technical College, located in Central Nairobi, we offer a Fashion Design program tailored for those who dream of launching brands that appeal not just locally, but across borders.
🌍 Why Train for International Fashion Markets?
Today’s fashion is borderless. Designers from Nairobi can sell online to clients in Europe, Asia, the U.S., and beyond. With the rise of e-commerce, digital branding, and African fashion appreciation, Kenya is no longer just a consumer of trends—it’s a trendsetter.
To succeed globally, fashion professionals need more than design skills. They must understand:
- Global fashion trends and market cycles
- Cultural sensitivity in clothing design
- Sustainable and ethical fashion demands
- Export and e-commerce basics
- International branding and lookbook styling
