Pearl Academy, India’s leading institution for creative education, is championing the next chapter of Indian design on the world stage. By offering its students opportunities to showcase at prestigious platforms such as London Fashion Week and THE NAT Gala in New York, the institution continues to build careers that transcend borders.
At London Fashion Week 2025, Pearl Academy presented its third consecutive showcase at the historic St. John’s Church, Hyde Park Crescent, in association with Fashion Week & The City. The presentation brought together a curated group of designers who reimagined Indian fashion for international audiences where heritage met innovation, and craft seamlessly blended with contemporary culture. Each collection highlighted a dialogue between India’s cultural richness and evolving global fashion trends.
The showcase featured distinctive and diverse collections by Vaibhavi G. Prasad, Mehakk Jain, Shivangi Sharma, and the TEESRA collective (Manvi Mittal, Tanya Garg, and Mehak Goel). From repurposed saree-inspired silhouettes and fairytale couture crafted with natural dyes, to Indo-fusion garments inspired by Vrindavan’s heritage and streetwear rooted in Indian identity, the event showcased the depth and breadth of Indian talent. Adding intergenerational strength to the lineup, acclaimed Pearl Academy alumna and celebrated designer Rimzim Dadu known globally for her experimental couture brought her signature sculpted textiles to the stage.
