A philosophy of Design, which at Pearl Academy has

allied services and the need of the hour is to find talent and
trained manpower for all of these sectors.
Pearl Academy is a pioneer in the Indian market,

Pearl Academy introduces 4 schools of Creative
Learning to make young minds look at the million
opportunities in the world, just waiting to emerge as life
changing moments.
These schools specialize in imparting a structured and
balanced combination of theory and practice in different
fields of Design, Creative and Business Arts.
So if you aspire to make your mark in the fields of Design,

nurture your dream. Equipped with sound knowledge of the
industry and practical and personal skills required to stand
apart from the crowd, you have the world waiting for you!

Creating fashion doesnt just entail a vivid imagination and instinct for creativity. It also involves many
decisions and myriad techniques, focused on a central idea. Pearl's Fashion Design course builds a strong
foundation in terms of design sense, conceptualization, independent research, creative application and
individual artistic expression.
Fashion Design runs the gamut from eveningwear to sportswear, womenswear to menswear, and kidswear to
knitwear. Students are asked to choose their area of interest and sharpen their creative ideas. Students are
also introduced to various historic fashion and art movements as exemplars and how these influence
contemporary fashion. This is the very reason why fashion houses, designer labels, luxury brands, apparel
retail brands and ready-to-wear fashion industries seek our students.

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

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

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

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

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

and hanging out - the whole experience! May be thats the killer combination that
makes it work in the long run. Its not a unidirectional experience, its 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.
