Held at the WWI campus, this year’s showcase brought together couture and conceptual storytelling, with graduating students presenting collections rooted in identity, emotion, culture, and contemporary expression. One of the most unique aspects of Aiyanna is that students from the School of Fashion & Costume Design are given the opportunity to showcase not only their runway collections, but also their creative vision through fashion films – a distinctive offering that sets Whistling Woods International apart. This year, the graduating batch presented four original fashion films, highlighting the institute’s interdisciplinary approach to fashion, storytelling, and cinematic creativity.
Among the standout showcases was a futuristic layered ensemble inspired by Gen Z’s fluid identity and interconnected realities, a collection that reinterpreted femininity and power through rich textures and historical references, and a surreal presentation exploring dreams, control, and chaos through evolving silhouettes and shifting palettes.
