Design is all about showcasing, to be able to predict, create and present fashion. Pearl Academy of Fashion (PAF) strives to create such thinking minds. The design students of PAF are specially trained to solve problems and undertake explorations relating to latest technology, raw materials and processes to develop creative collections.
Four year’s learning, toil, trials and tribulations, culminate at the annual ramp presentation – PORTFOLIO. This final presentation is an integration of the learning that the students imbibe during their education at the Academy. Through the media of colors, materials, finishes and techniques, students express individual statements as design solutions.
PORTFOLIO marks the entry of PAF students into the professional world and has emerged as one of the most prestigious ramp presentations in Delhi.
The students of B.A. (Hons) Fashion Design and PG Diploma Fashion Design (Indian Wear) present their final design collections at PORTFOLIO. The show is an outcome of the ‘FINAL DESIGN PROJECT’ that takes them through the process of expressing a design issue through a colloquium paper, concept exploration and realization of ideas.
The design collections on the ramp introduces amongst the many, some very personal, individual interpretations of the concepts along with the strategy based, market oriented ready-to-wear – collections. Students express their concerns and beliefs in the area of interest that have led to practical, feasible and functional solutions to address issues of perishing Indian handicrafts, need for maternity fashion wear, messages for a healthy lifestyle among others.
