Couture Week 2022: Rashmika Mandanna to be showstopper for Varun Bahl’s collection

New Delhi: Actress Rashmika Mandanna is all set to be the showstopper for couturier Varun Bahl’s 'New Leaf' collection, at the FDCI India Couture Week 2022.

Speaking about the association with Rashmika, Varun said, "I am absolutely thrilled to have Rashmika debut on the runway for our new couture collection. It felt natural to associate with her as she aptly embodies the qualities of a Varun Bahl muse with great finesse and fearlessness."

This collection puts a spin on traditional Indian silhouettes while taking a leap forward from traditional wedding couture and exploring the new way in which global couture is moving. Hence, making for pieces that are not only experimental and international but also make for iconic collectibles.

The new collection oscillates between Indian wedding wear and red carpet looks with a more global appeal that breaks away from the conventions and rigidity of traditional couture.

With this collection, Varun is styling couture in a newer way, heading towards the direction of catering to the younger generations, and hence, reinventing the idea of couture completely, which is the need of the hour.

“I am extremely thrilled to be a part of India Couture Week 2022. It is truly remarkable to witness the massive platform FDCI has created for established as well as young and upcoming designers to showcase their collections. We are delighted to showcase and present our couture collection, ‘New Leaf' to everyone,” added Varun.

The show is set to take place on July 26th in Delhi. (UNI)
