Pearl Academy of Fashion (PAF), India’s premier fashion institute today organized THE PREMIERE – a fashion show of the exclusive eveningwear collection by Fashion Design students of Semester VI. Eminent designers Gauri & Nainika Karan graced the occasion as Guests of Honor. The show was conceptualized, produced, choreographed and modeled by FD-Sem 6 students of Pearl Academy of Fashion wherein 44 students created 44 appealing costumes which were showcased in the fashion show.

The Premiere highlighted student’s creativity and provided them with a platform to showcase their talent. The designs captured the essence of the fashion design of the grand couturiers like Christian Dior, Cristobal Balenciaga during the 50s. Students had created the dramatic gowns for catering the particular socialites segment for evening get-to-gethers. The designs depicted a mood of drama and ramp appeal. Vibrant colours rocked the runway for student designers, who with a 50s twist created tantalizing evening dresses that were seductive and at the same time had ‘touch-me-not’ appeal. Designs were also completed with appropriate accessories including hairstyle and make-up managed by designers themselves.

Applauding the students, Designer Gauri & Nainika said, “We are very happy to be here to witness the efforts made by the young upcoming designers and their works are beyond our expectations. Students have taken care of design basics and the detailing is just perfect. We are confident that these students will pitch a stake in the fastest growing fashion sector. We appreciate PAF’s effort in supporting and grooming new talent.”

Mr. A.K.G Nair, Group Director, Pearl Academy of Fashion added “The fashion industry is expanding rapidly as well as becoming organised and intensely competitive. It is essential for students to develop specialized domain knowledge and business strategizing expertise. A multi- faceted development of relevant skills and concept can be achieved through institutional activities and events like this as they provide the platform to the students to showcase their creativity and talent. Each student’s collection is unique and expressive and it just shows the students’ dedication towards their work. I wish them all the best for their future endeavours.”

The work was widely appreciated by the guests, audiences and the media present at the venue.
