Dear Students

You are the future and the path many creative industries follow in the future will depend upon you. You have the power and opportunity to explore new ways to ameliorate life on earth by deploying resources imaginatively to design, manufacture and market aesthetically and ecologically viable products and services in a wide spectrum of human endeavours.

Welcome to Pearl Academy of Fashion. We believe in the enormous talent of our young people and we are committed to provide a nurturing and caring environment to foster this talent for the benefit of humanity as a whole. We believe in the critical role that design and designed products and services will play in the global economy. We are committed to instill self-belief in our young people to compete confidently in this era of diversity, individuality and multiculturalism.

Our credibility as a serious player to push business and industry in the creative realms beyond the existing frontiers is evident from thefact that Pearl Academy’s origin is traceable to the vision of India’s one and only multinational fashion house with diverse operations worldwide.

We believe that competitiveness has to be benchmarked against the best in the world. Our historic co-operation with the Nottingham Trent University, one of the best institutions in the world for Art and Design, enables our faculty to acquire pedagogical and research competencies of international standards specifically in the field of design education. We have entered into institutional agreements with LDT Nagold, Hong Polytechnic University, Bunka Women’s University, Amsterdam Fashion Institute, De Montfort University, Northumbria University, Ravensborne College, University of the West of England etc. just to mention a few, for student exchange and joint research projects. As a testimony to these remarkable alliances our students have won outstanding awards and accoladesin international competitions in the recent years. The Academy enjoys high reputation with international agencies such as UKEIRI, DelPHE, Defra (all from UK), PUM (Holland) and GTZ (Germany) etc. which resulted in the award of several projects to work with industry and crafts sectors and to support faculty and student exchanges. Pearl Academy of Fashion is one of the few institutes from the Asian region to be elected to the executive committee of the prestigious International Foundation for Fashion Technology Institutes (IFFTI ). Pearl does not believe in just turning out graduates. It takes pride in the holistic development of its students, industry association, global networking, research and consultancy services. It has adopted transparent and equitable systems and quality standards. I will be personally happy to be of any assistance in guiding you in the choice of your future career planning.
