PRESIDENT’S NOTE
Being a creative media person comes with a thirst to accomplish the unimaginable, to dream the unthinkable, to create the impossible, to be a name to reckon or simply put – To Be Somebody. This journey to ‘Be Somebody’ is not going to be easy and I’d like to give you a few pointers to help you along the way. Be Courageous because you joined Pearl Academy knowing that you didn’t want to be a part of the crowd – but took that risk – the risk to be somebody. Keep that courage going. Albert Einstein said – The person with big dreams is more powerful than the person with all the facts. Be Alive. Ask yourself not just what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive. Because the world needs people who have come alive. Remember, you are talented, hard working, gifted achievers with a proven track record and the Pearl Brand to back you – You can do anything. Be Inclusive. In thought, in deed, at work, at play. Share each small win, every great victory with all who contributed. Use position and power to build more opportunity for those who have less. Choose to use your status and influence to raise your voice on behalf of those who have no voice. Be Happy. Exude joy. May that happiness show in you, in your family, your team and your community. And most importantly, Be Yourself. You have a unique gift to offer to this world. Be true to yourself, be kind to yourself, read and learn about everything that interests you and keep away from people who bring you down. When you treat yourself kindly and respect the uniqueness of those around you, you will be giving this world an amazing gift... YOU! The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problem. Best wishes Nandita Abraham
Nothing could be a happier occasion in the life of a teacher than the fact that his students are finished with one part of their journey of life and are going into the next, fully prepared to be successful! Nothing could be a sadder occasion either; to know that those whom we taught for years, lived with in the same campus for years, who almost became part of our extended family are now leaving us and will find new friends, new colleagues, new extended families. So it is with mixed feelings that I bid you farewell. Go forth, grow, thrive. The world is your oyster! Always remember, its your life, your career, your future and your success, don’t let anyone take that away from you! We’ve done our best to open your minds, to create a sense of independence in you, to allow you the freedom to think independently, to grow creatively, and to be complete. I have been with you but a short while, I can only say God Bless and all of us at Pearl will always be there for you, and we will always be proud of your achievements.
DEAN’S NOTE
Be fearless in taking decisions, your education, your knowledge and your integrity will stand you in good stead. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes; in fact embrace them and learn from them. Do not bow down to wrong practices; I chose a path in industry with integrity, and though there were many difficulties, temptations and naysayers, I stuck it out and won! You will too! Viveck Vaswani
Dear stars of 2020! Even before I could realize, the final year just flew by and here you all are graduating. It was with a sense of pride when I sat through your juries as you have elevated fashion and media sojourns to new heights, strived to perform and succeeded against all odds. You have received special mentions and comments from your external jurors and special guests – Award-winning filmmaker Ananth Mahadevan, Celebrity film critic Mayank Shekhar, ad-guru Bharat Dabholkar, well-known fashion critic Meher Castelino, Managing Editor Filmfare magazine Farhana Farook, Brand Consultant Shubho Sengupta and Consultant for Urban Art Commission Alpana Khare. Remember, this may be the end of your formal academic journey but it is actually the beginning of your personal, independent and professional one. Just be patient, do not look for instant gratification and try not to compare yourself with your peers because your journey will be unique to only you, no one else. Wish you all the best my superstars! Best wishes Meha Jayaswal

Textiles Talk. This research investigates the communicative properties of textile heirlooms, as well as their ability to convey identity. With materials carrying information through the ages, textile heirlooms have come to represent their consumers, as well as the environment they have been a part of. These are explored for their ability to contribute to the visual identity of a vernacular; behaviours of people; identities of individuals, as well as social identity. There are various aspects of material memory, which contribute to textile heirlooms becoming nostalgia evoking objects. The influence of this nature of textiles, that allows them to carry information, and its impact on its future consumers – this project is an exploration of that.

Six yards of white fabric spins together the memory of maaji; a memory that that lives on through her children and grandchildren — who gaze at the hundred year old sarees in awe, wondering how someone only wore white. A colour associated with death and loss — now carving out a new identity for itself, because of the way maaji carried it. On her death, it was the children who the sarees were passed onto; and it was Madhuri who wore them with the same sense of gentleness and responsibility. Her siblings, Rakesh, Usha, Sudha and Brijesh; Young, Inquisitive, Creative and Daring — the first four that sparked motherhood within the powerhouse that is Madhuri Jayal. She soon became a woman who nurtured. She nurtured at home; at the workplace; at university; and during the time she took to herself to bake something out of the nothingness that accumulated under the shelves of half eaten Kwality Rusk packets and condensed milk cans. The nothingness that she saw as opportunity. It was this sheer love for cooking that drove her out of the softness of Dehradun’s rolling hills, to the brazenness of New Delhi; where she studied Home Science at Lady Irwin College in the early fifties. It was then, that another force of nature by the name of Grace Mary Linnell resigned from her position at Hyderabad’s Mahboobia School, to take on a challenging project — setting up an all girls boarding school.
Pursues a degree in Hoome Science from Lady Irwin College
On Madhuri’s return to Dehradun in the summer of 1956, she was introduced to Ms. Linnell. She was thrilled to have met a well respected educator who moved to India from United Kingdom with the goal of bettering the Indian Education system. Mrs. Linnells mission gleamed through her work at Mahboobia School in Hyderabad, where she quickly mustered respect within the country for her genuine efforts. This appreciation took form in more than just good well; but a special one being the Jamawar tapestry that survives till date. It was this Jamawar Shawl that she carried with her to Dehradun when Ms. Oliphant of Welham Boys School dared to dream of another institution that would soon become the birthplace of the country’s greatest minds. In 1957, Ms. Linnel made this dream a reality, by founding Welham Girls School and appointing Ms Madhuri Jayal as Vice Principle of Welhams Girls School. Like any successful venture, Welham’s became a reflection of the people who shaped it. “What began as a class of 8 students quickly transformed into the gold standard of educational institutions in India, all credit to the strong, persevering nature of Ms. Linnel,” says Mrs. Mathur. The two shared a longstanding relationship that Madhuri coins as a ‘once in a lifetime friendship’.
Mentored by Ms. Grace Mary Linnel in Dehradun
Having been mentored by Ms. Linnell (Padma Shri awardee), Ms. Jayal went onto working in the education system for the rest of her career; till she finally retired in 1990.

The concept of this project was based on the understanding of the Impact of Influencers through Instagram on Consumer’s Fashion and Lifestyle Choices. Social Media is a huge part of our lives today with a lot of us active on different platforms. The rise in the usage of social media is all because of easy communication with other people and sharing of ideas in the form of images, videos, and audios worldwide just by some clicks, especially for Influencers. These influencer lifestyles attract us and trickles down affecting our decision making. In this hustle of influencers and brands together, consumers are the ones that are guided or misguided. And many myths surround the realm of influencer marketing. In the world of glamour and glitz there is some real effort and understanding of the fashion world needed there. This research gave way to a Graphic Novel called A Fool’s Tale, which showcases the inner workings of the world of Influencer Marketing.

This hugely popular Genre followed by millions of people across the world has now adopted the western music influence in its composition. But that’s not the only thing it has fused. This project is about understanding the various reasons of westernisation of Punjabi music and how they are taking the culture in a unique direction including the the youth of the country and around the world. This westernisation has also brought in a shallow culture of Gangsta lifestyle, drugs, alcohol, addictions and misogyny in a big way and normalised that lifestyle especially in Punjab. This in turn affects many other social aspects of their lifestyle. The objective of this project is to spread awareness about Punjabi pop singers who glamourise Drugs, violence, alcohol, objectification of women, foul Language and flashy clothing and place the future of the youth and the culture of India in danger.

As technology and consumers evolve at a more rapid pace, brands are rebranding and creating an entirely new business model to survive. Brands are opting to change their visual identity to give themselves a fresh and modern look.

Outline Humans have a visual memory and they can process visual data better. Visual narratives are easier for a consumer to understand and remember as it removes the barrier of language. It can still be interpretative that leaves an opportunity for creative expression. This project explored the relevance of digital illustration in fashion print magazines. Fashion magazines have always used illustration to communicate and it has played a vital role. It is one of the oldest means of visual communication and is still being used as visuals provoke emotion. Digital illustrations are being adopted as a visual communication tool in the fashion industry and the influence can be seen on deliverables like posters, movie titles and even fashion magazine covers. Visuals are more expressive and hence one can travel through the designer’s imagination and experience their true creativity. This gave rise to the idea of PiqueArt.

Outline In the current markets where the competition is high, fashion brands battle to create a separate identity for themselves to cater to an increasing number of indifferent shoppers. Fashion retailers now more than ever utilize emotional marketing as an approach to draw in their clients, tending to the developing pattern of buyers’ looking for emotional associations with a brand. While brand details like item attributes, features, and facts might be unremarkable however individual sentiments and encounters better shape shoppers’ assessments of brands. This project discovers why emotional advertising is fundamental, particularly to fashion brands, when creating brand strategies in an unpredictable commercial market. A model has been proposed for emotional advertising strategies which talk about sensory branding, storytelling, cause branding, and empowerment.

While wedding photography is a booming business in India in the last few decades, not much research has been done on the subject about the rise of this trend. People spend crores of rupees on weddings and a big chunk of that is kept aside to create memories of the most special time in your lives. There are various trends too that emerge out of the changing technologies – especially now with the digital age we seem to be on a precipice of a major change in the photography style. People are no more looking for ordinary run of the mill photography – Using Drones, using digital editing, using other technical aspects of digital photography to transcend even reality. There are different trends every few years and people love new concepts in wedding photography but the main thing that never changes is the story, which people want to depict. The stories people share are of love, closeness, heritage, and culture.

The purpose of this project is to attempt to understand how in the last decade of social media, Instagram to be specific, has managed to change the way fashion shows are planned and take place. Now, brands create minor events inside at the main event to make sure that they are different from other brands. This led to the conceptual development of a platform, an event, for upcoming designers who want to organise a fashion show and reach their target audience with the aid of Social Media. The show will focus on eliminating the large audience that fashion shows now have these days, including bloggers, influencers, socialites, celebrities and the rich of the society.. The fashion show has been conceptualised like a “salon show” which took place in the 1850’s and only have a niche audience.

Outline Streetwear till date is a dynamic world that keeps changing its meaning with the passing generations but still cannot be defined with a single connotation. It is said to be a fashion movement predominantly started by the youth in the 1970s and 1980s to rebel against the cultural events happening around by wearing loud and bold letters on t-shirts and jackets and visually expressing themselves instead of saying out loud. A subculture that became a way for self-expression made use of graphics to build a visual identity of a streetwear brand. Whether using graphic logos, pieces of art, visual puns or appropriated images, brands were able to provide a garment that not only solved the utility purpose of it but also brought together people with similar interests and ideologies.

Indian designers are stepping out of their comfort zone and trying something truly experimental. They are venturing their business into other categories such as beauty for growth. They are doing this either by coming up with their own collection or collaborating with existing beauty brands. Anyone who belongs to the world of fashion, or is even remotely interested in it, is no stranger to the recent trend off, or rather an obsession with collaborations. My final project studies all of this and more, including, how Collaborations offer a chance for brands to explore their own style as well and are a great way for them to step out of their comfort zones. In recent times, we are witnessing luxury labels collaborating with fast fashion brands that price these items at a much more affordable rate.

Runway shows are a medium to communicate brand narratives and deciphers its properties and elements that aid in framing the visual experience. These shows have been looked at from an angle of story-telling and how it is achieved through the use of the stage, light, sound, and special effects to narrate a story so that the underlying thoughts, ideas and beliefs of the designers are reflected and radiated to the audience. The presentation of runway shows differs from each designer depending on his/her ideology and values; however, the interpretation of it by the audience is what makes a powerful hold in their memories. Therefore, the communication must be compelling and effective through the sensory experience of visuals, auditory and olfactory components. The invoking of all senses, of taste, sound, sight, touch, smell, and sight at the live shows unknowingly affects the audience’s preference and opinion towards a brand. This creative process is a strategy adopted by brands that subconsciously influence the viewer to achieve the marketing and promotion goals- increase the visibility of the brand, increase sales and form a relationship with the audience.

Outline What does an ideal woman look like? Is a dark lipstick a sinister way of depicting the bad person? What role has fashion played in depicting character traits in Hindi films? This project aims to study and understand the different typecasts that these films have portrayed for generations. Fashion as an area of study has a strong impact on society; the beauty of this research lies in its link and connection to human behaviour and psychology. Apart from its functionality, it is no secret that fashion is a strong tool to depict self-identity. This paper aims at analyzing not only the power of fashion as a medium of self-expression but also, the limitations society has put on one’s imagination, creativity and self-representation by enabling strong stereotypes depicted and reiterated by the film. The aim is to tackle the lack of realization when it comes to fashion styling and the stereotypes its breeds, through the means of a lighthearted but thought-provoking satire. This would be depicted in the form of an art series using a mix media of digital and analogue elements and illustrations.

While conventional photography has changed immensely in the past decade, the fascination with old photography techniques has grown even stronger. As a way of communication and expression, photography has distinct aesthetic capabilities. Any photo clicked through film cameras has some in built flaws in it, which nowadays adds to the aesthetics of the photo, which is one of reason why few photographers are choosing film over digital, be it for their personal work or professional work. Mastering Analogue photography requires great experience and expense too. Amateur and professional photographers are opting for this medium to distinguish their work from the rest of world and hoping to reclaim themselves as artists. This research paper reviews the role of Analogue photography in Fashion photography and explores its presence and scope for Indian fashion photographers who are making a shift from digital to film camera

However, there are solutions and alternatives to mitigate these problems. There are some brands who have taken an initiative to practice sustainability. And some are succeeding too. The other initiative lies in building an awareness and willingness among the consumers to change. There is an estimated 1.3 billion people in India and with that there is an increase in the amount of post-consumer textile waste. And research and surveys say that as the population is increasing the consumption will also increase.

The current impact of the accelerating climate change is all the evidence we need to link the growth of industrialisation and our mass consumerism to global warming. By 2050, the fashion industry is expected to use up to a quarter of the world’s carbon budget. Now, more than ever, fashion industry is put in a position where it should take the responsibility and make some radical changes to its working structure like using clean energy, regulating their carbon emissions, carbon footprints and water footprints. With the next generation consumers, Gen Z, being very vocal and involved in bringing a change in the world- there is a behavioural change in their purchase patterns friendly and have lesser carbon footprint. But the lack of proper information and tools about sustainability is very misleading and confusing to the consumers thereby affecting the brands’ reputations due to the wavering trust of the consumers.

The main aim of the project was to study the fast fashion industry and the harm it does to our environment and human resources. What is making the consumers shop more than they need? This explored how the industry works and its need and importance in the fashion industry. It focuses on the various retail seasons in the fashion industry and how the number of cycles is increasing rapidly because of the ‘see now, buy now’ fast fashion trend which ahead is leading to over consumerism. Social media has helped this industry to grow and a majority of people aren’t aware about the true cost of the clothes that they wear, and hence it leads to them buying more than they need, without giving a second thought. After research on the inferences laid came my design solution; which is to make people aware about the truth behind the clothes, the environmental and human cost of the garments and that the garment isn’t just as cheap as they dollars you pay for it.
