A school unlike any other

A successful career is based on a strong foundation, which itself is based on acquiring a quality education. An ideal institute should be able to offer its students the ideal mix of theoretical and practical knowledge.

For aspirants seeking a career in the fashion industry, these factors are even more necessary. There are few fashion institutes in India that are capable of embracing all these qualities. The Whistling Woods Neeta Lulla School of Fashion is one such fashion school that has aimed to and has been successful in delivering these qualities.

The Dean of this prestigious school, Neeta Lulla, recently signed an MOU with Australian University TAFE-NSW. This will assist in developing student-teacher exchanges across the countries in a range of study areas.

The students were dazzled by the various Fashion shows like Lakme Indian Fashion Week, India Bridal Week and Blenders Pride Fashion Tour in which they lend a hand. This occasion gave them a glimpse of the work involved in creating a fashion show, a practical experience that cannot be learnt in any classroom.

India is culturally a rich country with a history filled with art, and aspirants are given an opportunity to know their roots through exploring the art and weaves of different cultures. They recently went to Nirona village of Kutch where they were exposed to the regional art of kachchi weaving, Ajrakh, Rogan and Copper art. On another occasion they were taken to Weaver’s Studio and Apparel Printing Studio where they witnessed the creation of art.

History is an important teacher and here students recreate history through their designs. Students have revived Kushan draping, clothing from Crete and Minoan civilization, Egyptian costumes and Victorian costumes in the course of their studies. These are but a few examples of the work done by students.

The highlight of this year was The Future of Fashion Forum, which was an interaction between the established figures in the fashion industry and the aspirants. Topics ranged from the influence of global trends on Indian fashion to new age technologies used in fashion products to styling to designing, no topic related to fashion was left untouched here. Famous figures like Manish Malhotra, Rocky S, Krsna Mehta, Pearl Shah and many more graced the stage. This gave an excellent opportunity for budding designers to understand and enhance their knowledge of the glamorous industry.

The Whistling Woods Neeta Lulla School of Fashion is just like any other fashion school with that extra edge that has enabled the students to aim for and achieve new heights.
