Pearl Academy looks to future of Indian fashion with immersive event
Creative education institution Pearl Academy hosted its annual graduation showcase, Portfolio 2025– Delhi Edition, across its Delhi West and School of Business campuses. The event spotlighted future-facing work from students across disciplines including fashion, styling, communication, and product design, with a focus on AI, sustainability, and disruptive design.
Portfolio 2025 led to two international placements with Dubai's Apparel Group and 14 spot hires by brands such as Reliance Brands, TJX, Snapdeal, and J.J. Valaya, Pearl Academy announced in a press release. Additional offers came from Pantaloons, Aparna Kaushik Designs, and labels including DYou and Ridhi Mehra, while ongoing recruitment continued from Sabyasachi Calcutta LLP and Asian Paints.
Entrepreneurship was a core focus at the School of Business, where six startups, including Shark Tank-featured Aignosis AI, pitched ideas under the Pearl Runway Cohort 3.0 and Pearl Shark initiatives. These ventures received grants under Pearl Academy's sector-agnostic incubation programme. Pearl Academy also announced a partnership with EY India to support its business programmes, with students set to receive training in data visualisation tools such as Power BI and Tableau.
'Each idea born in the classroom finds its voice in Portfolio,' said Pearl Academy's president Aditi Srivastava in a press release. 'This showcase is more than a graduation- it's a declaration of possibility.'The event concluded with a graduate fashion show, supported by workshops and installations that encouraged collaboration between academia and industry.
