The FDCI x Pearl Academy FirstCut showcase is their initiation into the fashion industry. At Pearl Academy it is our endeavour that students have the means to directly interact with industry experts. Exposure to the best from the fashion and design fraternity plays an important role in shaping up a student and this program gives them the opportunity to experiment and put their best foot forward as they discover their talent and learn the ways of the industry, first-hand. I wish them the best and cannot wait to see the showcase.”
