6th October 2025, Mumbai: At Bombay Times Fashion Week 2025, students from Whistling Woods International’s School of Fashion & Costume Design (SFCD) stole the spotlight. They presented bold, story-driven collections that captured audience attention and redefined creative fashion expression.
Semester 3 and 5 Students Shine at Bombay Times Fashion Week
Semester 3 students showcased conceptual designs rooted in storytelling and symbolism. Meanwhile, Semester 5 students explored identity, transformation, and cultural narratives through experimental silhouettes and textures. Their collections highlighted the versatility and vision of WWI’s young designers.
One standout design paid tribute to Mumbai’s layered soul, with rain-inspired drapes shimmering like agate crystals. Another reflected the clash between primal energy and architectural precision through commanding silhouettes and tactile surfaces.
