Witness FDCI x Pearl Academy First Cut at Lakme Fashion Week, in partnership with FDCI.

Pearl Academy’s avant-garde initiative, ‘First Cut’, is transforming the runway by offering fashion design students a platform to innovate through technology, consciousness, and sustainability.

Chained by My Femininity - A show that, in 3 acts, explores the dichotomy between traditional femininity and the need for safety, highlighting how women often feel compelled to suppress their femininity for protection.

The Weight of Softness showcases the burdens of being a woman, where the greatest weights comes from the things that are exclusively feminine. It talks about how all things associated with femininity become a burden on women because their softness as portrayed by these elements is also what makes them a target for all categories of violence.

The Armor of Masculinity explores the encroachment of Patriarchy on Femininity under the guise of providing protection while being the predator itself. As the masculine elements take over a woman’s life on the streets and at work, we explore how women have to take up armours and become actual warriors just to exist as women and navigate society safely.

Reclaiming Femininity is women taking back their feminine power. The final act unfolds with a deconstruction of patriarchy and the suppression it exercises on women. Here, we witness all the masculine elements that restrict her movement and make it so that she is not #FreeToBe, now submit to her power and accentuate her experience of life rather than hindering it.

The collection serves as a response to the alarming frequency of violence against women, exemplified by recent tragedies such as the Kolkata rape case. The aim is to create awareness and ignite a movement against these atrocities, empowering women to assert their voices and strengthen their reactions to injustice.

To further this message, Pearl Academy will launch a book dedicated to saree, exploring its significance as a cultural and personal symbol for women.
