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.

balanced combination of theory and practice in different
fields of Design, Creative and Business Arts.

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

comfortable and attractive; they want them to be a work of art.
Interior Design & Styling is an in-depth course that covers the fundamentals of interior design and styling.
Any interior design consultant working with interior spaces must have the skill and ability to select

successfully deconstruct and reconstruct any style effectively and make changes and adaptations to reflect
the individual preferences of the client.
On successful completion of this course, students are able to create visually pleasing yet practical design
solutions.

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

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.

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.
BTK Berlin trip was superb.

INTERIOR 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.

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

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.

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

a person who can do well in the industry by sharing the right knowledge that was
part of the course but also helped me come out as a confident person.
The teachers and the course gave me the right exposure to the industry and made
me realize what i actually wanted to do. All the internships, guidance given by the
teachers and the right concepts taught in the 2 years helped me to get a job in
KOOVS with ease.

Studying at Pearl Academy was of great value to me in my path to a fruitful
professional career. As the faculty had worked in the retail industry themselves it
created an instant and easier connect between theory and the practical work
environment. Thanks to Pearl, my communication was never a hindrance and the
teaching methodology, exposure to industry, the various competitions and
activities made me confident and practical oriented. I also am delighted by the
placement assistance that we received despite the recession.

Bharat Rishi
OPERATIONS 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.

just one year, we have seen lakhs of fashion and lifestyle e-commerce brands (www.cooliyo.com,
www.limeroad.com, www.zivame.com ) take birth in the virtual business battlefield.
There is a huge demand for business professionals who understand fashion and lifestyle products as well as
can blend in the creative vitality of online business organizations.
The two-year post graduate course will equip graduates not only with fundamentals of how online business
organizations need to be managed for a long period of sustainable profits, but also challenges students to
achieve career goals by fueling their own passion.

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.
