AKIPRESS.COM - Eighteen fashion and sewing experts from educational institutions and clothing companies in Tajikistan have completed an intensive training course on the most modern design technologies and innovative trends in fashion, International Trade Center said.

The course covered both theoretical and practical skills in design, garment construction, and dressmaking. Participants learned to adapt a basic pattern into various dress styles and deepened their knowledge of the production of skirts and pants, as well as expanding their understanding of new technologies in the clothing sector.

To continue the learning experience, an e-learning course will be created by Singapore’s Textile and Fashion Industry Training Centre to provide other professionals with the skills and information about tailoring.

The training course was held as part of ITC’s Global Textiles and Clothing Programme (GTEX) and was organised in partnership with the Technological University of Tajikistan and Singapore’s Textile and Fashion Industry Training Centre.

The Global Textiles and Clothing Programme (GTEX) is funded by the Government of Switzerland and implemented by the International Trade Centre (ITC) in five countries: Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tunisia, Morocco and Egypt. The programme aims to encourage exports of textiles and clothing from developing countries to promote employment and income generation throughout the value chain.
