There was something quietly moving about seeing Anoushka Shankar in the front row as Raw Mango made its London Fashion Week debut. No drama, no need for spectacle. Just a calm confidence that felt very real. The sitar maestro attended the show wearing a look from the Fall/Winter 2026 collection, It’s Not About The Flower.



And you could sense this moment meant more than just fashion. Later, Anoushka shared glimpses from the evening online, speaking about how special it felt to watch a label she has supported for years take centre stage in London. She’s worn Raw Mango while performing, in everyday life, and even collaborated on custom outfits. So seeing the brand step onto an international runway clearly felt personal. Her words about founder Sanjay Garg were warm and sincere - less praise, more admiration from someone who has watched the journey closely.







The collection itself was built around a soft idea: how a garland sits, moves, and settles on the body. Anoushka’s outfit captured that beautifully. She wore a silk satin dress adorned with handcrafted champa flowers, each one shaped by hand using silk. The flowers weren’t loud or overly decorative. They felt delicate, almost alive, placed thoughtfully across the monochrome silhouette. Small pollen details added texture, giving the surface depth when it caught the light.
