Sanjay Garg of the eponymous label, Raw Mango will be opening for Amazon India Fashion Week Spring Summer 2016 (AIFW SS16), it has been confirmed.
He is known for reviving Indian heritage through the indigenous sari, which has withstood the onslaught of time and the ubiquitous gown.
Mr Sunil Sethi, President, Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), said “We are excited to have Sanjay Garg open the AIFW SS16, as he is a craft-lover. He has worked as a purist, never deviating from the ‘I love India’ theme. He will set the right tone for the fashion week, which celebrates the myriad crafts of the country.”
Talking about his collection for AIFW SS16, Sanjay Garg said the garments in this collection aim to bridge the gap between textile and fashion, and at the same time, blur the categories of traditional and modern, old and new, past and present.
Amazon India Fashion Week Spring Summer 2016 in association with Maybelline NY is slated from October 7 to October 11 at the NSIC Grounds, Okhla, New Delhi
