Lately, students of Pearl Academy showcased in Pearl Portfolio2017, annual fashion showcase, changed the stereotype thought for design and fashion through innovative designs.
With some notable ones read like:
Parul Sachdeva
Design: 6 Dots
Concept note: To envision a society of empowered and well-informed visually challenged population of our country, having the independence to lead an organized life without any judgments. The aim is to provide a user-friendly solution to their clothing needs. To work for the cause and care of the blind and visually impaired by providing high-quality, user-friendly, and affordable clothing. To make them confident through organizing their lifestyle, and catering to their clothing and grooming needs.
Divyani Kharbanda
Design: Raunaq
Concept note: ‘Raunaq’ is a collection of 5 ensembles celebrating bright colors in the union of two souls. It is made from waste material (kataran) and developed by using various techniques into interesting surfaces which are usable and wearable. It is my endeavour to be as creative as I can and make best out of waste material.
Though behind the project- My idea was to use waste fabric (kataran) collected from various tailors in my neighbourhood and developing them into interesting surfaces. As wedding dresses these days are exorbitantly priced, I chose kataran to make my garment look more interesting, unique and beautiful. My main aim was to make best use of the waste material available without spending a lot on the beautification of the garment.
Avneet Bansal
Design: Smart garment design
Concept Note: Infusion (the collection) draws inspiration from the growing influence of technology in our everyday life. The collection conceptualizes a world where technology is integrated into fashion resulting in responsive garments. The garments are interlined with a smart memory fibres/memory alloys which are temperature – responsive and remember different shapes at different temperatures. Apt for people who live out of suitcases and travel extensively to hot and cold destinations and want to travel light, these garments stay deflated when at a hot place and inflate lightly in cold temperatures.
A prototype is also being developed where the smart fibre will be woven in the fabric itself.
