We, the students of Fashion Studies of class 11, got an opportunity to attend a summer internship programme at Pearl Academy, Noida from 5th to 10th June, 2017. The internship offered different workshops to expose us to a number of career options in the fashion industry. We attended 7 workshops and undertook a visit to an export house on the last day.
The first day focused on graphic designing and film making. We were exposed to Holographic projection in which we created a three-dimensional photographic projection. We made a prism with the help of a transparent sheet and then made videos on a black background to show the projection successfully.
On the second day we had two workshops-interior designing and fashion designing. In the first workshop, we were told about the importance of natural light in designing any room or building as a whole. We were given a shoe box and we created a room with the desired placement of windows and furniture. The second workshop of the day was fashion designing where we made best out of waste! Waste material like straws, sticks, cups etc. were given to us along with cloth to design an innovative dress.

The second half of the workshop was about business and advertisement where we conceptualised our own imaginary of products and made charts to advertise the products- their uses, prices, promotions, etc.
On the fourth day, we had a product designing class where we were assigned to craft a luminous product from coloured sheets, bulbs, wires etc.
The last workshop of our internship was about Fashion Media Communication where we were told about blogging, promotions on social media and journalism as a whole.
On the last day, we visited an export house where we saw the elements and processes of garment making, from the beginning to the very end. We saw the various types of machines involved in the process.
The internship was a very good experience and provided us a first hand view of the fashion industry. We are thankful to School for providing us this invaluable opportunity.
