Indian label Raw Mango makes its debut at London Fashion Week
London, February 25
India's renowned fashion label Raw Mango recently made its debut at London Fashion Week.
Raw Mango on Monday presented its Fall Winter 2026 collection It's Not About The Flower on the international runway.
The collection celebrated the brand's arrival in its own vernacular. Drawing inspiration from the iconic South Asian garland, the collection delves into themes of memory, ritual, and adornment.
Speaking about the milestone moment, Sanjay Garg, founder, said, " I am glad that everyone can now finally share in the things that have been on our minds. I am seeing the work through the perspectives of so many different people. We're hearing the beginnings of so many conversations. That's always the goal."
He added, "London is a stage for us, as good as one in Kanpur. At the end of the day, it is the work being presented that matters. And that doesn't change according to who is viewing it, or where. Our work is a response to an internal pursuit - what excites us, what needs to be explored, what holds meaning. We want to keep doing what we do. Add value to the industry, the craft and the conversation in general."
Here are some runway visuals.
Bollywood star Kriti Sanon was also seen at London Fashion Week. She attended Burberry's Fall/Winter 2026-27 show, joining a star-studded front row with Kate Moss, Simone Ashley, Stellan Skarsgard, Olivia Dean, and Luke Thompson.

Fantastic news! But I do hope the brand stays true to its roots and doesn't get too "westernized" for the international audience. The beauty is in the authenticity. His quote about London being a stage as good as Kanpur's is spot on.
As someone living in London, it's wonderful to see Indian design philosophy being celebrated here. The inspiration from the South Asian garland sounds beautiful. Can't wait to see the collection visuals!
Amazing achievement! However, I wish the article focused a bit more on the artisans and weavers behind the brand, not just the celebrity sightings. That's the real story. The craft is what adds the true value.
"It's Not About The Flower" - what a profound theme. Moving beyond just the aesthetic to explore memory and ritual. This is why Indian design stands out. So much depth and meaning woven into the fabric. Literally and figuratively!
Interesting to see the global fashion conversation expanding. Raw Mango's success shows there's a real appetite for design narratives that come from outside the traditional Western fashion capitals. A positive step for diversity in the industry.
