We bottled the lightning.

Aiyanna 2026, the annual graduation show by the School of Fashion and Costume Design, celebrated a decade of WWI fashion history, and the future all rolled into one unforgettable night. It was a conversation started by our incredible students, told through fabric, films, and fearless imagination.

Relive the magic of Aiyanna 2026 all over again!

Aiyanna 2026 marked a milestone moment for Whistling Woods International’s School of Fashion & Costume Design, celebrating a legacy of nurturing emerging creative talent.

This year’s graduating class pushed the boundaries of textile, silhouette, and storytelling, presenting collections that blended couture craftsmanship with bold contemporary expression — inspired by identity, culture, emotion, and personal narratives.

The showcase extended beyond the runway with four original fashion films created by the graduating students, reflecting the cinematic and interdisciplinary spirit of the school.

A great concept always requires brilliant ex*****on.

To decode the precise Role of a Podcast Producer, we welcomed industry experts Abbas Momin and Snayhil Aneja for an intensive masterclass with our BBA Media & Communication cohort.

The session moved beyond the initial pitch to the elements of a podcast episode, to recording guidelines and the final post-production edit.

Applying these professional insights in real-time, our students planned and designed a mock podcast based on the Met Gala, navigating the creative and logistical challenges of high-profile audio storytelling.

Action on the pitch, unforgettable energy in the stands.

For three incredible days, our campus delivered absolute blockbuster energy on the pitch for WWCL10. A celebration of strategic play, exceptional teamwork, and the WWI community.

We commend all participating squads and the organizers on executing a flawless tournament.

Six months of vision, rigorous preparation, and absolute dedication lead to a single moment on the runway.

Step behind the scenes with the designers of Aiyanna 2026. From translating the complex layers of ‘lucid dreaming’ into tangible textures, to turning ‘nostalgia’ into a wearable narrative, our School of Fashion & Costume Design cohort is ready to showcase their craft.

The runway awaits.

The first audience every artist ever has is often a mother.

Here’s to the ones who clapped first.

Whistling Woods International wishes you all a Happy Mother’s Day.

The start of a statement piece starts right here in the studio.

Listen in as the School of Fashion & Costume Design students break down the anatomy of their latest creations. From the caged structure of a bubble skirt to the meticulous embroidery of a trench, every stitch serves a larger vision.

From European folklore to the digital canvases of Mumbai.

We recently partnered with IED (Istituto Europeo di Design) for an Erasmus+ masterclass focused entirely on the art, culture, and technical ex*****on of animating dragons. By analyzing real-life references and breaking down complex creature workflows, our students are learning exactly what it takes to bring fantasy to life on the big screen.

Global exposure, industry-standard mentorship, and the drive to create something extraordinary.
