FASHION DESIGN (UGFD) - DELHI, NOIDA, JAIPUR, MUMBAI4 year BA (Hons.) - Eligibility: 10+2, or equivalent, in any discipline, with minimum 50% marks

GOOD WORD

After my studies at Pearl Academy I wanted to do something out of the box.

Presently, I am working as a Senior Stylist with Vogue India. I do a lot of trend

forecasts and celebrity-cum-cover editorials. And I see a lot of opportunities in

future as people are now becoming aware of fashion and sense of style.

“Aditya Walia

STYLIST/PHOTOSTYLIST

Make-up artists, fashion stylists and image designers are highly sought after in the media industry.

Celebrities, media personalities and public figures need to be well-dressed and styled at all times to maintain

their image in front of their fans and followers. The Fashion Styling and Image Design course instills the

expertise to create the desired image for these personalities.

Initially, the course focuses on concepts, skills and training to create a sense of style through an image.

Gradually, it accentuates the co-relation between thoughts and arrangement of styling solutions in diverse

areas of fashion, retail, media and entertainment. The industry internship finally readies the budding stylists

to take on the world.

India has been a country rich in textiles known to the world as vast resource of techniques and design of

textile arts and crafts but what has brought it into the main focus is emergence of India Couture over the

last few years.

Couture is the word representing exclusively crafted garments which can be defined as masterpieces

created out of the best quality fabrics, intricate embroidery and detailing on the surfaces, applied and

executed to perfection. The course 'Indian Couture' reinforces unique facet of a couture collection; its

selectiveness. Traditional textiles and silhouettes are the foundation of this selectiveness and the world

has for centuries turned to India for being inspired. This course enables a student to understand usage of

indigenous heritage textiles and traditional Indian silhouettes in India Couture. The course empower

students from multi disciplinary experiences to embed individual design philosophy and articulate the

same creatively through successful couture collection. The course is very focused on silhouette building

with a core foundation of Indian traditional textile structures, techniques and treatment. The inclusion of

royal and classic patterns spread over various eras also contributes to the uniqueness of this course.

The objective of the course is to develop sensitivity towards materials, craftsmanship, technology unique

to couture by working very closely with the Masters – be it artisans, weavers as well as couturiers to

learn the intricacy of Classic Indian Couture. The graduating couturiers will embark into this elite

business lobby, 'Indian Couture' by being spotted as labels initiating unique choices into Indian wear and

Bridal wear.

The course is delivered in conjunction with Domus Academy, Milan. Students have an option of doing a 4

week module in Milan and get additional exposure to the international industry.

Being in the fashion design industry and working in core design development is

very challenging yet extremely exciting. The turning point started with Masters in

Fashion at Pearl Academy. Ever since it has been an enriching experience being

involved in various design projects with Tarun Tahiliani, Pearl Academy, Rohit Bal

and the Middle East market and many more. Like a pandora's box unwinding, the

joy of designing is so contagious that all this seems just the beginning.

MA Design (Fashion & Textiles), a course of international repute, offers two specialist pathways: to broaden

and deepen existing knowledge; and to give necessary experience and confidence to work in the international

fashion industry. This programme provides students with complete knowledge about the Global Fashion

Industry, enabling students to establish their individual creative identity.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

The Indian Fashion & Textile Industry has an overwhelming presence in the economic life of the country.

Apart from providing one of the basic necessities of life, it also plays a pivotal role through its contribution to

industrial output, export earnings and employment generation of the country. And with the advent of

international brands and acceptance of traditional Indian crafts in the Indian market, the Indian Fashion &

Textile Industry is making its presence felt in the global market. Even Indian designer brands are making a

mark in the western markets, creating new avenues for the upcoming designers.

The kind of exposure we got from Pearl was phenomenal with live projects, fashion

week shoots, beauty shoots, architectural walks among others. The exposure was

not only limited to the boundaries of academics but was much beyond that. This

helped us realise our aesthetic skills with commercial acumen. Pearl faculty and

guest speakers from the industry gave us very good insights. All I can say is that

Pearl taught us how to look through a camera’s eye and guided us on what to look.

Aparna KaisthaINTERIOR STYLIST

It was only after my graduation when I started working in the field I felt something

amiss, which is when I was introduced to Styling for Interiors. As a stylist I worked

with various magazines like Elle Décor, BBC Good Homes, Casaviva and also did

freelance shoots for Maxim and Femina. I have also styled brochures for various

stores and done up store and window displays. As a field I think Interior Styling is

an extremely upcoming field as more and more people are moving into builder

houses and semi-furnished rented apartments where there is a greater need for a

decorator to help do up the space than a full-on designer.

The program provides an overview of the major aspects of styling, so that you can alter the look of a

space without changing the structure of it. The program comprising 3 trimesters (40 credits each) aims

to train stylists for the furnishing and interior designing industries to perform as part of a team to style

spaces or as individual entrepreneurs. Topics covered in the program include:

Styling of spaces for function and ambience

Contemporary interior styles

Creating your own style through space visualization

Color conceptualization to make color work for you

Material explorations

Furniture & Artwork in interiors

Guiding you in product selection

This program is designed for students with an interest in sourcing and resourcing materials for use in

styling of homes. It aims to provide comprehensive understanding of developing a personal style through

visual communication and its application in the interiors and soft furnishings industry through classroom

lectures, practicals, market study and sourcing, lab work, assignments and design projects. The final

trimester consolidates and develops your ability to stylize and plan your own work through a Final

Project.

It is a complete course touching all major areas of design, art and craft culture

with respect to current fashion. Coming from absolutely different background, we

learnt the basics - right from threading a hand-sewing needle to stitching high-

fashion Couture Garments in a span of one year. And now i feel more responsible for

the revival and upliftment of rich Indian Crafts and our artisans.

India is a country where traditional and handicraft based products manifest themselves in our everyday

lives, ensuring that they never stay away from norms set by its glorious past. This 1-year course offers

in-depth knowledge in Women’s Wear category with special emphasis on Indian method of cutting and

tailoring as well as western styling for today’s consumers. The 1-year duration is divided into

3 trimesters of 13 weeks each.

You will start with design theory and illustration techniques, which are basic skills for any designer.

Simultaneously, you will learn how to realize your ideas into real products with sound technical know -

how. There is a great opportunity of designing with Indian textiles and our indigenous handcrafted

techniques like embroidery and block printing. These will guide your inspiration for making

contemporary Indian silhouettes. You will also learn how the business part works once the merchandise

is ready. This will include inputs on understanding of Indian clients' needs, market segmentation and

branding, small scale garment production, quality control, sourcing, collaboration with suppliers, display

and presentation of fashion, and related entrepreneurial aspects in the fashion industry.

Aakriti JainJEWELLERY DESIGNER

The Indian jewellery industry is growing and modernizing. The consumer and market place is changing. New

technologies are setting in fast, affecting and altering the production methods and design possibilities.

Jewellery product development does not simply involve aesthetic understanding, knowledge of jewellery

materials and making but also understanding the new age consumer, developing a right product for them and

reaching to them at the right time, place and manner. Harnessing all the available resources for developing a

successful jewellery product is a great challenge. The jewellery industry is in need of professionals with

higher level of understanding and additional individual qualities to be involved in the new product

development process. This postgraduate course is aimed at equipping students with leveraging and directing

their existing knowledge base towards new jewellery product development.

At present I am working as Motion Graphics Designer at ELITIFY.com. Since my

childhood, I have been fascinated with design, colors and wanted to work in a

creative field like design. I feel a designer/artist has the freedom of expressing any

emotion, feeling, happiness or even sadness through his/her artwork, it can be

through any form of art. I have experienced that design solves problems and helps

explore new avenues. My current objective is to take up design related projects so

that I am able to apply my ideas and techniques that I have learnt.

Communication Design essentially connects people through meaningful and effective

conversations/communication, which then leads to action. This is possible if one understands why people do

what they do and provide appropriate solutions to various challenges.

Today Communication Design is more human-centric and social, more rooted in technology and science than

ever before. Therefore, a Communication Designer is essentially becoming a 'Connectivist,' with basic

competence to establish and nurture connections between different disciplines. He/she acts as responsive

designer/ entrepreneur/ consultant/ manager rather than a designer.

This program helps look at the essence of communication where design can help improve and find meaningful

solutions through suitable media. These solutions can take the form of communication products, systems,

services, or experiences. It provides opportunity for graduates from varied backgrounds to come together

and co- create effective communication solutions globally as well as locally.

During this program students will gain the proficiency in 2 main aspects of communication design: Strategic

Design Thinking and Communication Design Application and Practice

Studying at Pearl Academy was of great value to me in my path to a fruitful

created an instant and easier connect between theory and the practical work

environment. Thanks to Pearl, my communication was never a hindrance and the

Bharat RishiOPERATIONS MANAGER

The course imparts retail business knowledge of fashion and lifestyle products as core offerings supported by

services and technology to create experiences in the dynamic retail landscape.

Retailing in India is one of the strongest pillars of the economy as it accounts for an estimated 35% of the

country’s GDP. The phenomenon further gathers momentum as consumers increase spending on the

discretionary goods (fashion products) other than needs and also as government relaxes FDI regulations.

This results in the mushrooming of retailers, both national and international, in a variety of formats

including e-tailing, creating a potential market for the skilled retail professionals.

The course bridges the gap by providing focused learning comprising theoretical concepts of fashion,

retailing, business strategy, marketing, buying and merchandising, etc. The candidate further develops as an

enabler by experiencing industry interface in the diverse areas of retail operations, merchandising and visual

merchandising.

One of the best times that I had from every single perspective – academics, friends,

and hanging out - the whole experience! May be that’s the killer combination that

makes it work in the long run. It’s not a unidirectional experience, it‘s multi-faceted.

The two years in Pearl Academy of Fashion brought a complete overhaul in my

personality and helped me grow both personally and professionally. The best thing

about Pearl was the presence of camaraderie between batch mates as well as the

teachers. The course curriculum was industry specific and faculty was excellent in

their respective domains.
