New Delhi, 26thSept 2015: He is known for reviving Indian heritage through theindigenous sari, which has withstood the onslaught of time and the ubiquitous gown. Sanjay Garg of the eponymous label, Raw Mango, a debutant, will open the Amazon India Fashion Week Spring Summer 2016 in association with Maybelline NY, slated from Oct 7-11 at the NSIC Grounds, Okhla
Mr Sunil Sethi, President, Fashion Design Council of India, says, “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.”
Sanjay Gargsays with a disarming smile, “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. The garments present technical advancements in Mashru that make the ‘old’ textile contemporary, while retaining the luxuriousness that has always been an important part of it.”
Mubarikpur-born Garg, enrolled to study at the IICD (Indian Institute of Crafts and Design), Jaipur then went on to hone his skills at NIFT (Delhi), only to launch his label, which retailed saris, stoles and fabrics hoping to offer pure handlooms. The designer with a penchant for humble motifs is known for his loom-stage innovations on fabrics, mostly Chanderi, making it drape-ier for the technology-lovin’ modern woman.
He further adds, “It’s a matter of great honour to open the Amazon India Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2016. This opportunity is a testament of FDCI’s effort to bring Indian textile at the forefront of the fashion industry and truly celebrates the ‘Make in India’ initiative.”
