ABOUT ANVAYA
WICSA is incredibly excited to introduce ANVAYA, Western’s fourth annual South-Asian fashion show.
ANVAYA is a Sanskrit grammatical term that signifies the agreement or concordance between two coexisting elements, essentially illustrating how different words can convey a similar meaning. Drawing inspiration from the principles of Yin and Yang, which depict opposing yet interconnected forces, where "yīn 陰" translates to the "dark side" and "yáng 陽" to the "light side".
ANVAYA hopes to show the interplay between virtues and vices, and how both contrasting forces coexist within us all.
WICSAFASHIONSHOW EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

AHANKAR stems from the root, aham, which translates as “I am"; and kara, which means “doing” or “making”, it describes ego. Sometimes referred to as the “false self,” because it is colored only by one's view of the world.
