The fashion students from Pearl Academy had one job to do -- use technology and consciousness to showcase a sustainable collection at the Lakme Fashion Week x FDCI.
Titled First Cut, the show -- presented in association with the Fashion Design Council of India -- encouraged budding designers to let their creativity flow. And they did.

This one felt like a gentle reminder of that helpless moment when you have so much left to accomplish in such little time.

This is our cue to pack up and let the audience wonder about the purpose of these designs.
