Mandana Karimi to walk at India Runway Week 2016

Actress Mandana Karimi will walk the ramp at the seventh season of India Runway Week for Kolkata-based brand Studio AV by Gaurav & Nitesh.

Mandana will be seen showcasing the collection titled Dhaage on Friday at the Thyagraj Stadium here.

"We've put in a lot of hard work and effort - we await this beautiful journey. The collection reveals every ounce of effort and love that has gone into creating something so special. Our designs are a perfect blend of the ethnicity of Indian wear," designer Nitesh Sharaff said in a statement.

The entire collection is handmade in threads with a little bit of zardosi and dabka work to add some glitter. It consists of two different stories of thread-work embroideries- the soft and subtle Parsi embroidery and the colourful splash of threads in Madhubani embroidery.

The designers feel this collection would help in reviving the dying tradition of Madhubani art and would provide them a good platform and more recognition.
