For nearly two decades, Sanjay Garg has positioned Raw Mango at a curious intersection: between craft revival and contemporary design thinking, between heritage textiles and modern aesthetics. If Indian haute couture has often been defined internationally by heavy embroidery, ornate surfaces, and bridal spectacle, Raw Mango has steadily insisted on a different vocabulary where textiles, silhouette, colour, and material speak as loudly as ornate, intricate motifs and embellishments that have become synonymous with traditional Indian fashion. On 23 February 2026, Garg’s vision of Indian fashion debuted on the runway at London Fashion Week. The collection, titled ‘It’s Not About The Flower’, might seem at first glance like a modest conceptual shift — an exploration of the garland rather than the individual flower. But beneath that simple metaphor lay a broader proposition about Indian fashion itself: how it is seen, what it is reduced to, and what it might become. In conversation with Homegrown, the designer answered broader questions about cultural production, authorship, and the politics of craft labour. @raw_mango Photography: Maria De Carlos @mariadecarlos_ Hark1karan @hark1karan Amrit @rayofamrit Manan Sheth @manan_sheth Akin Sanjayan @akinsanjayan In Digital TV @indigitaltv Video: Sanvir Chana @sanvirchana Fred White @fred.white35 Sahil Kotwani @sahilkotwani_ and Swarnim Gawade @swarnim_gawade Jewels: Forevermark Read more via link in the bio! <Raw Mango, Homegrown Voices, t’s Not About The Flower, Fashion, London Fashion Week>
