WWISFD Masterclass with Gaviin Miguel


 It was our pleasure to have the acclaimed fashion designer, Gaviin Miguel conduct a WWISFD Masterclass. At the masterclass, Gaviin shared insight and nuances to help our students understand and identify pret, bespoke & couture wear. He also helped our students to understand the technical details that goes into designing and creating these garments, alongside he also shared the commercial value of these creations in today’s day and age.

His journey from  being an aspiring fashion designer to making a mark in the industry as a successful designer did inspire our students. One of his most important learning that he shared with our students was, “It is very important for each designer to have a mark of their own, which will  not only make them stand out amongst others but also secure their position in the industry.” Gaviin also said, "To be a good designer it’s important to be a good human being, because what you are, reflects from the clothes that you make. Each design that you make should carry your heart and soul."

In his interaction with the students he spoke about his recent venture, Disney’s recreation of the magical Broadway, ‘Beauty and the Beast’ that was showcased in Mumbai  & Delhi. Gaviin was the Costume Designer for the theatre version of the musical. He shared his experience working for a Broadway theme and what it takes for a designer to be versatile but still holding on to that one thing that makes you different from others, your forte.

Overall, it was a very educative, enriching experience for the students to interact with Gaviin Miguel.
